Review DP004: Pochama VS Subomie! Hikari's First Battle!!

Habunake · Sep 29, 2006

Preview's Up!

The song that plays I believe is Hikari's Theme, and not the New Opening (which should premiere this episode) as some thought.

*Everyone is Bickering.
*Attacked by Ghost Pokemon.
*Some Minstrel who looks like Aaron comes.
*Brock sends out Bonly.
*Subomi and Pochamma fight, Subomi uses SORAA BEAMU!!!!!!!!

I didn't actually see the preview (it NEVER WORKS) so could someone post pics?

I don't even know how to get to the preveiw from the site.

Habunake · Sep 29, 2006

It's the Fourth Yellow Button.

{Sigh} I'd love pictures of the preview too =[

Is it me, or is the animation very fluid and vibrant in these episodes?

Who does them?

GreatLiver · Sep 30, 2006

Subomi actually looks kinda cool. The little Red and Blue things that turn into the roses are cool. I also really liked the Mew harp that the guy has.

BTW the intro and outro things with Diaruga and Parukia look awesome.

Team Iguchi.

I noticed Pikachu was getting Tane Machine'd.

Masukippa?

Adamant · Oct 6, 2006

Oh yeah, Maskippa is there.

I'm about to go to bed now, so I'll just list the most interesting stuff:
*Hikari attempts to catch a Mimirol, but fails (and hits Satoshi in the face with her Monster Ball)
*Bishie guy's name is Naoshi
*Naoshi's Subomi knows Mega Drain, Sunny Day, Bullet Seed and Solarbeam
*Both Hikari and Satoshi battle Naoshi. Hikari loses, Satoshi wins.
*Subomi evolves into Roselia during the battle with Pikachu

And, to make Habunake happy, I'll mention that we see a couple of Koroboshi in the background.

Habunake · Oct 6, 2006

Yup! I saw the Koro's.

Too bad we can't watch this though....*Cries*

*Hikari attempts to catch a Mimirol, but fails (and hits Satoshi in the face with her Monster Ball)

She's really having a hard time getting that darn bunny. I wonder how long till she gets it? Almost reminds me of Misty's repeated misadventures hunting Corsola in the Whirl Islands.

Dear lord, the animation's off-model again.

At 5:21, look at Manene's arm... O_O

-Hikari's version of Haruka's "Stage on!" is "Charm on!"
-Takeshi confirms he left his non-Usohachi Pokémon at the gym.
-Hikari is surprised to learn that all the Joys and Junsars look the same and are related.
-Joy registered Satoshi for the Shin'ou league.
-Pottaishi cameo, and it's ugly.
-Satoshi and Hikari argue quite a bit, leaving Takeshi as the straight man.
-Someone want to translate the new Team Rocket motto? Even the music is unfamiliar.
-Masukippa latches itself onto Kojiro and bites his head when it comes out, and again upon blasting off.
-Wild Pokémon in the forest come out and sing at night. Korobooshi has a nice voice.

-Satoshi has a flashback of Ho-Oh (golden), and Hikari recalls seeing... whatever it was (Emurit? Agnom?). I think they play a new BGM here.
-Mega Drain looks awesome.
-Ookido's lecture was about the Pokémon Center. :\
-Naetle bites onto both Satoshi's hat and Pikachu's tail in the preview.

Don't forget, there isn't a new episode next week. We'll have to wait until the 19th.

The opening is great, by the way. The song is beautiful at times.

Hikari once again shows that she isn´t a dumb newbie.
She knew the type advantage of the peck-move against subomi, as well as the type disadvantage of solar-beam against her.
She lost so quick because she thought that solar-beam should have taken much longer to charge. But because of the bright sunlight solar-beam could be charged much quicker. too bad for her.

I was totally shocked when I saw Subomi´s attack..I thought of a new one, but then Brock called it Giga Drain...took them long enough, and it looked very nice indeed ^^

Potttaishi wasn´t ugly at all Argy ;p I fell in love with the Pochama-linie through the anime..can´t wait to play the games and get one.

There were a lot of new pieces of music in this episode, I guess in-game music from DP, very nice.

The overuse of "Daijobu" continues in this episode. I guess it really is Hikari´s quirk.

I was very suprised with Korobooshi´s voice. I was expecting somewhat Heigani-like in its tone, but it was so high...very cute ^^ same could be said about subomi I guess, a nice voice. But Roselia´s voice was terrible ^^;

And I have to agree, the animation group isn´t that good this time. many many off-model shots especially in full body shots.
At least the movement looked okay.

Relly? I have otherwise feel when she tried to catch Mimirol. She act like she didn't know what to do.
And with Hikari arguing with Ash, we can oficially say, Hikari is nothing just bad mixture of both, Misty and May. Can I wrote I expected this? Geez, why they create bad new, while they can kept May there, which is perfect character for contests and do us all happy?
And, from opening it seemed that Shinji will have Murkrow. Does that really mean Ash never will have strong dark-type Pokémon? Why they didn't want Ash to have Dark-type Pokémon?

Habunake · Oct 6, 2006

That Mimirol seems to be a reocurring theme.

She battled Mimirol with pochama obviously ( it was out to battle at least) AND she wanted to throw a pokeball at it. the only mistake she made was forgetting to enlarge the pokeball because she was too excited. The ball slipped out of her hand, yes, but that doesn t mean that she doesn´t know what to do.
Maybe this explains why Ash and May weren´t bare-handed. slippery pokeballs ^^

Hikari knows HOW to capture pokemon. she tried it in the 2nd episode as well. She´s just getting over excited and makes mistakes.

Her thinking is right, the outcome isn´t.

It was nice to see a beginning trainer who knows about type dis/advantages.

and, please, keep the may/misty comparissons out. She wasn´t like misty in this episode and she ISN´T like may. I bet if Brock argues with Ash for an episode he would be a Misty-clone as well?s

FabuVinny · Oct 6, 2006

Personally, I'm seeing more comparisons with Max. He knew what he was doing but still lost his first battle due to lack of experience.

Well, considering I hate Brock as much as I hate Hikari, then everything I wrote will be wrong for you:bheart:

Parukia · Oct 6, 2006

I hope something new happens soon. I am getting bored just seeing them try to catch new Pokemon. I want to see battles and such.
