... seem to be rivals?!

Did anyone see this coming? Because I thought it was weird they glared at each other in the episode... and now it's in the ending! They're glaring at each other!

Oh, this won't end well.

Or will it?

Thoughts? D:

Okay. True. But still.

We've got what may turn out to be a lasting conflict between two Pokémon in the main cast...

From different trainers... so it's not like they're competing for a trainer's attention...

They're... just... competing...
 
I rather like the idea. I think this is the first time we've had an ongoing rivalry between two Pokemon belonging to diffrent members of the cast. And since it involves Crogunk and Buizel, arguably two of D/P's best Pokemon you just know it will be great.

I'd like too see a situation where they get to have a battle. They would most likely tie, but my money would be on Crogunk.

So's mine, but I'm biased. >>'

Though... I hope this doesn't lead to more Brock abuse. Croagunk's current abuse is enough...
 
Well, if Brock tried to get between them and make peace, I'd start looking into the cost of burial plots in Pewter. Short of that, I don't forsee a spike in Brock abuse. (The writers can't orphen Happini)
 
Well, both moments of conflict between them during the episode (yes, there were two) involved Brock getting punched and dragged away by Croagunk...
 
Ouch.

I haven't seen this week's episode yet. *still downloading the torrent* Since this was just Buizel's second episode it is likely they were making a strong showcase of the rivalry, and it will settle to a once in a while gag.
If not, maybe Happini will be protective of Brock?
 
Oh god... the little pink thing as Brock's protector? Role reversal much? XD

I... really don't know if it's the start of a gag in this case. 'Cause unlike fangirl Buneary, it's not really that funny... interesting, yes, but not really in a silly gag way.

The first time, Croagunk is dragging Brock's limp body away and turns to meet the gaze of Buizel, who's glaring at him... the two assume fighting stances, and Dawn tells them to cut it out.

The second time, Buizel's being emo, and Croagunk... just stares at Buizel like it's pathetic and then turns and drags Brock's limp body away.

You'll see.
 
But he seriously pissed off Croagunk more then anyone else, it seems, and Croagunk is normally the calmest dude.

I think this is pretty neat, and I hope the writers bring back this plotpoint in later episodes (a full-scale Buizel vs. Croagunk battle would rock)
 
I think that Pachirisu might try to get in between Croagunk and Buizel's fights. I mean he's right in between them and looking at them as if something bad will happen.
 
Bwahaha! This looks interesting! I have to say, the writers are really impressing me this season *__*
 
Wow, I'd thought they'd play up a rivalry between Piplup and Buizel more than anyone else. They're both water types on Dawn's team and they're both filled with pride...the Croagunk thing came out of left field.

I hope we get to see them battle each other. Croagunk is probably the best thing to happen to Brock in YEARS and I'm glad that its going to be more than a running gag with a seperate plot.
 
Yeah, that was one point I actually thought you were right about - and the whole Buizel-hitting-Piplup thing in the preview was hinting that it was right on target. But no, Buizel's true enemy is Croagunk...

...

On a different note, I could definitely see this leading to Brock entering another contest...
 
I think a rivalry between two different characters' Pokemon would be very interesting. I think the only other time something like this came close was when Charizard and Scyther were mad at each other in A Way Off Day Off, and that was resolved in only one episode. Be interesting to see how this affects Dawn & Brock's friendship.
 
Well, I noticed during the snowboard scene Buizel rescues Sudowoodo from being stuck in the snow.

Yeah, so did I.

So this conflict seems to be focused on just Croagunk and Buizel. I don't know if it'll affect the friendship between Dawn and Brock much, unless at some point they decide to have a battle for their Pokémon's sake, in which case they might be more rival-ish than we've seen Brock with... anyone, really. o_o

I'm sorry....but that'd be the best moment ever if Croagunk and Buizel have a challenge to see who can do the most "Brock Abuse." I'd do everything in my power to see that =P


Poor Pachi...he's so confused between the two...
