Review DP113: The Mischievous Phione!

[Dogasu]

- We see lots of Phione swimming in the ocean. I never realized how unattractive they were.

- Mimirol can be seen wearing its vest again.

- Potchama gets frozen solid by Phione.

- Pachirisu can be seen attacking with an electric technique.

- According to the narration, it seems like Phione is interested in Mimirol...?

- We see a shot of Takeshi looking angry / disappointed.

- Phione does the bii da thing.

Aww, I can't wait until I see Mimiroru in the vest again. <3

Honestly, I'm about sick of all these legendaries in Shinou. There's just too many of them, it's pretty ridiculous. Other than Mimiroru wearing the vest, I don't think I'll be interested in this episode. Although that may be because I don't like Fione.

This episode actually looks interesting. Phione being interested in Mimirol is a nice little twist. And it's very nice to see that Lagomorphshipping hasn't been forgotten. Maybe there will actually be some development with it?

If Phione is interested in Buneary it would be interesting to see if Pikachu gets jealous.

I find it disturbing how so many different species of Pokemon can mate with each other? How would a Phione get with a bunny?

Phione being "interested" in Bunny doesn't necessarily means it's in love with it... maybe it's something else
And anyway I really doubt Pikachu will care

For me, it's one of those wait and see episodes. It seems like a boring filler with a boring Legendary Pokémon, but you never know.

If Phione is interested in Buneary it would be interesting to see if Pikachu gets jealous.

It would be funny, but I doubt it will happen.

I can hear the Commodores singing, "Use Ta Be My Girl" now~

Just why the heck would Pikachu care? It only ever seems distressed by Buneary's affection, at the least.

And Phione and Buneary aren't even in the same egg group, if we assume that mating in animeland works the same as it does in gameland. Not that that's stopping Phione from trying...



It's nice to see the writers remember that Buneary exists, even though it never had much of a personality aside from obsessing over Pikachu. Phione...well, cute legends who act like jerks are always fine by me, since if nothing else it beats the hell out of seeing yet another generically cute, good-natured Pokemon. If the writers play their cards right they could at least get a good zany ep out of this.

Its a shame that Phione couldn't be animated like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB5recdpPaI
Wish they could have made the story a more "mystery of the beauty of the sea" type thing rather than a "Lets go underwater in a submarine and have some Phione follows us ashore and create lovable hijinks! Also, Team Rocket steal Phione and/or the other Phione, Pikachu and Piplup".

It is supposed to be an inferior, watered-down version of Manaphy so that should be hardly surprising.

If it weren't for the fact that it's the spawn of a legendary, it would technically be one of those stand-alone Pokémon with ho-hum abilities, like Spinda or Luvdisc.

Anyway, this episode could probably shed light on the whole debate over wether this thing is a legendary or not.

Well its great to get Phione out of the way like this. Imagine if they had to make an entire movie out of Phione? lol.

I like Phione better than Manaphy. :|

Wouldn't surprise me if Phione is acting like Buneary is his mother though, rather than wanting to make babies with her.

As much as anime =/= games, it can't breed with it in the games so I wouldn't say they are able to mate.

Spoiler

its more like Beastiality D:

Seconded. I think Manaphy is ugly. And Phione actually looks like a Sea Angel.

In one aspect, recently this is not true.

I had two Phione in at least a 5 minute span in Diamond.

Knowing that, Manaphy must have had fun "doing" it with Ditto. =P

There is actually an ongoing debate over weither this thing is a legendary or not. It can be classed as a legendary since it's the offspring of one and that's the only way of getting it aside from getting one from Pokémon Ranch. However, it has very low base stats for a legendary (all are 80, compared to Manaphy's all 100), and it's movepool is smaller. It's unable to learn many of the attacks that makes Manaphy special: It can't learn Tail Glow or Heart Swap or a number of other special attacks that Manaphy has access to.

Re: DP 113 "The Mischievous Phione!" Preview Thread

- That's a lot of Phione merchancise...

- This shopkeep sounds an awful like Unshou Ishizuka.

- Wow Potchama...I don't feel bad for you AT ALL.

- This isn't Nyasu's *best* disguise...

- Why is Takeshi, of all people, walking around with his pokemon out?

- OK...Nyasu's disuise in their little fantasy bit is better.

- Speaking of the fantasy...when was the last time anyone was shown worrying about drowning?

- That's a pretty lucky guess, Takeshi.

- Boss Fantasy!! Apparently Sakaki wants a bunch of pokemon toys?

- So the Rocket-Dan put Phione in an airtight container? That's pretty cruel, guys...

- That's a pretty amazing karate chop, Kojirou.

- So Satoshi and his friends use a bus to get within the city, but then actually walk to get from city to city?

- That cleavage-less lady looks really really freaky.

- They're using the Kanto battle music from the Deoxys soundtrack...I really like this version.

- There's quite a bit of Potchama abuse in this episode...

- Wow! Mimirol actually won a battle!!

- I love how the Rocket-Dan completely forgot why they came there in the first place and end up getting distracted by the Phione / Mimirol thing instead.



Basically...Phione wasn't treated like anything special at all in this episode. It's just another pokemon to the writers, I guess.
