Japanese: 最強のコイキングと最も美しいヒンバス!
Bulbapedia article

On arrival in Kotobuki City, Satoshi and friends learn of the B-Button Alliance, a group of trainers that aim at ultimate strength and beauty but don't evolve their Pokémon.

This episode will air on TV Tokyo March 1, 2007.
 
I think Hunter J might actually be involved in this after seeing that whacked-out mech that may or may not be in this episode...
 
I'd love to see the Margikarp Salesman in this episodes, but seeing as I haven't seen the preview, I might be blind guessing.
 
Guess J being in this episode was just hopeful wishing. I do hope we'll see her again.

It's a filler episode about a Magikarp and a Feebas, obviously we're not going to get Pokehunter J again so soon.

Glad to see Pochama isn't going to play second fiddle to Pachirisu. WHee.

Wow, the most powerful Magikarp in the world is in this episode, and the animation looks fantastic.
 
If Pikachu gets is head handed to him by a Magikarp (even the world's strongest) he's truly sunken to a whole new level of low.

Anyway, yay for the Magikarp salesman.
 
D/P has had very little filler so far, which is why the plot progression and character-centric moments are more noticeable.

If they keep up like this throughout the whole three years, I can see D/P surpassing AG in terms of quality by the end. (especially if they don't botch the main villains in the end, whether that turns out to be Pokehunter J or Team Galaxy).

The D/P season also shows how awful the Johto season really was. I'm glad the writers finally realized how to do good pacing without shoving needless mundane filler down our throats like they did in Johto's duration. The lack of character development in that saga with both the Pokemon on the group and the humans is a joke compared to what we get nowadays.

It just shows you how much the writers have improved in their writing. They've looked back on previous seasons and kept what worked and tossed what didn't work, which is why we have such a high quality string of episodes.

Let's just hope they can keep it up.
 
It's not as if the B button exists in the anime in the first place. =/

According to the official DP Anime website (http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/contents/pokemon_dp/trailer/index.html), there's another group called "C-Button Alliance「シーボタン同盟」" appearing when Ash & co get to the B-Button Alliance building... >_<

What the hell is C-Button...?

The N64 had C-Buttons, the Gamecube had a C stick, and the Wii has a C button on the Nunchuck controller.

And here I was, hoping there'd be a D-Pad Alliance just for the hell of it =/
 
We need more Feebas. The ep seems centered on the Magikarp, whose had a gazillion major roles. Hopefully Feebas gets to do some battling at least.

What I really like about the preview is it shows both Ash and Hikari battling the Magikarp, not just Ash. They're really giving Hikari as much spotlight as they possibly can, (although, poor Brock doesn't seem to be faring any better than he did in AG), and its great to see Pochama doing lots of battling.

It really shows how much the show has changed to tailor more toward major female roles. Hopefully Hikari doesn't get sidelined in the future, its great that after Ash she's getting everything else in the show.
 
They should of had Croagunk battle Feebas. Twould be neat, and Croagunk looks like it could maneouver somewhat well in water.
