Japanese: フワンテと北風の使い!
[bp=DP028]Bulbapedia article[/bp]

This episode will air April 12, 2007 on TV Tokyo along with DP029.
 
One of the Joy Kid's I saw looks like Joy, but like...smaller...it was freaky.

And she was feeding some Quagsire, Whiscash, and Barboach (I think)
 
Ah, Barboach, the one Hoenn Pokemon barely getting any screentime because its main episode was banned even in Japan.
 
Wow, a Suicune. GUess it makes sense being the whole wind thing and all. That shot of it really reminded me of the one from the begining of johto.
 
It's a little random to have Suicune here but I guess the writers are waiting until later on before having episodes on the DP legendaries.
 
Yay!! ^_^

So Suicune does appear in this episode.

That's awesome!!!! :)


Anyway though, I'm hoping we'll get some sort of explanation for why Ash keeps seeing Suicune. This will be his third time seeing that particular legendary (well 4th if you count that time in Pokemon 4Ever).

Actually, that's why I like the episode "Don't Touch That Dile" so much, because Ash sees Suicune right near the beginning of that episode. I mean, it looked so beautiful in the water like that. ^_^
 
What else would the North Wind refer to?

When May turns up is when we can start saying that, anyway.
 
Yay for Suicune making an other appearance.

It's probably just me, but I get the impression that the writers are keeping DP Pokémon appearances to an absolute minimum for some unknown reason.
 
The lack of them maybe?

114, 14 which are reserved for movies most likely.

Anyway...um, the fact Drifloon isn't the secret friend makes me hopeful Jessie gets it.

Or maybe its because they only have 67 new Pokemon to debut at this point, which is MUCH less than the amount of new Pokemon they had to debut in previous seasons?
 
Going from 251 to 386 is almost the same amount during Houen. So I don't really see the problem there.

We know they like to stretch things out.

The Gyms are still about 15 episodes apart as well, so even though Sinnoh can technically be done in a shorter timeframe I would imagine it'll last the same length as Hoenn. They probably want new Pokemon to show throughout the series rather than having them all at the beginning.

Suicune's probably stalking him, nothing more.

I hope Drifloon drags someone to hell. Possibly it'll drag Suicune away and the producers will not put it in any more episodes. Better yet, drag Brock to hell.
 
I know there'd be calls for it to drag Max away if he was still on the cast. :rolleyes:

The dex says it goes for children so Joy's daughter will probably be the 'victim' if there is one.
 
Who is doing the animation for this episode? It looks pretty poor in those shots.
