Review DP119: Clash! Mammoo VS Bossgodora!! ・ DP120: The Mysterious Creatures, Pocket Monsters!

[Dogasu]

Most of the clips played during the preview were for the "Teach Me Pokemon" clip show-type thing. But what we *do* see is:

- Hikari and all her pokemon hopping up onto Manmoo.

- Bossgodora charging.

...and that's pretty much it.

This hour-long special will air two weeks from now on March 26th.

The special will also reveal more stuff on the movie, and have a feature on Shokotan.

(I think - had sound problems during the preview)

At least the clip show isn't an official episode. I guess that's good...

I honestly don't really have much to say since we really didn't see much. But it'll be nice to see Manmoo obey Hikari. I think the writers had it be disobedient for just the right length of time.

It's a clip show? Ugh, worse luck.

They've done so little with Mamoswine's disobidience routine that it's always felt like a bit of a non-issue to me. She's not tried to actively train it or anything (until this episode, it seems), and it's not hindered her progress, so if this is indeed going to be the turning point for the wooly one, it seems like a bit of waste.
She could have at least entered it in a contest and lucked out by having the thing destroy her opponent, giving Ulala more ammo. That would've been pretty interesting imo.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it listening to her if it means getting to see it more frequently. It's just the way they've gone about it has been...well...underwhelming, to put it lighty.

I agree. The creature hasn't had much screentime in any of its forms, how are we meant to take the disobedience shtick seriously? I hope that it doesn't get completely under control at this point, since it would be a waste of what could be a quite well played out plotline. Obviously I want it to listen by the GF, but at this stage, it seems too early for it to change already.

I suggest (for now before the Grand Festival) that Mamoswine obeys Dawn in major events like battles. But disobeys for minor things like training.

So what IS this "clip show"? They probably did explain it in the preview... or not?

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

Newtype apparently has a description for DP119, and under a Google Translator, the general gist of the plot is that Dawn and Mamoswine are at a river by themselves collecting drinking water, and then the Aggron ambushes them and makes Mamoswine (and possibly Dawn as well) fall into the river.

Again, that's just paraphrasing, but if that's how it's going to play out, color me bummed (am I the only one who doesn't give a crap about the clip show?).

I think we should first know what it is before we choose to care or not...

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

The title itself makes it sound dull as dishwater, and without any concrete information on it other than that it appears to be a clip show, I can't bring myself to care about that as much as I care about the episode in which we know some kind of character development's going to happen.

But that's just me.

The Aggron is wild, isn't it?

 

[Musashi]

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

That's what I heard.

I really think this will be the episode in which Manmoo will obey Hikari. I don't see how it could possibly be anything else.

Either that or it wins its first real battle ever.

Well, we all (more or less) wanted to see Dawn riding Mamoswine. I can't wait!

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

Well Mamoswine might be disobedient but at least it does care about Dawn slightly, or else why would Mamoswine lift Dawn onto its back?

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

I don't think Mamoswine will be very useful to Dawn. I mean it would be better if Mamoswine will belong to Ash. It would be useful in his battles for sure. Dawn is a girl and she compete in contests. I really want Ash change his Totodile to Mamoswine.

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

What are you talking about? Mamoswine could be used in Contests just as well as any other Pokemon.

Is there a full preview for this episode yet other than the shorter-than-usual clips at the end of the last episode?

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

i know this much if Mamoswine does start fully obeying Dawn after this episode then i wonder how po'ed people will be lol.

Re: DP 119 "Clash! Mammoo vs. Bossgodora!!" Preview Thread

It's the same thing like when this happened to Ash. His Charizard only obeyed when it felt like it. When it was really necessary for him or when he's in a major battle. Stuff like that, you get what I'm saying?
