JPN: Iwark's (Onix's) Kingdom
Dub: Hooked on Onix!

You know what to do. =P

 

[FabuVinny]

An episode with an Onix and Geodude that does not belong to Brock? What next? An episode with a Jigglypuff that isn't the recurring one? An episode with a Psyduck that doesn't belong to Misty?

Gee.. Sounds like certain VA's we know. (But let's not bring that into this).

 

[Cybersai]

OMG this one has the 4kids voice actors! :x

 

[Habunake]

Yeah, they won't begin dubbing it till season 9, this is still season 8.

I wasn't even thinking about the VA issue when I posted that. <_<

Well now you are! It's like a virus spreading about. We aren't safe!

Also: This discussion thread was generated a bit early. Is someone trying to be the rest?

On the episode: Geodude, Graveler, Golem, and Onix. That's so first season!

 

[Habunake]

Don't forget the Dues Ex Beedrilla also appear in this episode, also Phanphy learns a new attack iirc, and Squirtle kills people. The last one I was joking, btw.

 

[Dogasu]

After hearing the Japanese music last week, it's hard to go back to 4Kids' filler music. Ugh.

Whatchu' talkin' about, Faction. >_>;

 

[Habunake]

"Hooked on Onyx!"

 

[Luna Tiger]

"We're a genius!" The grammarian in me DIES on a gag reflex. And what attack did Phanpy use? Secret/Hidden power?

I /really/ like this episode for whatever reason.....until the point where Max, May, and Mudkip got caught. Then it rolled downhill real fast. >.>

7/10

Well, aside from my typo ('beat' instead of 'be'), I'm "talking 'bout" your early creation of discussion threads.

"Hooked on Onyx!"

They still can't spell Onix. Odd how they actually give it the correct name of the real world element.

Gah! The puns! They burn!

 

[Jukain]

At last, they blast away the Beedrill instead of running from them. I don't recall Phanpy knowing Hidden Power, either, but it's been a while. The Corphish vs. Squirtle bubble fight was funny.

 

[Habunake]

Y'know, considering the pun of this episode, it's funny they mispelled the title.

 

[V Faction]

And what attack did Phanpy use? Secret/Hidden power?

Hidden Power. It... never uses the attack again, I believe.

"We're a genius!" The grammarian in me DIES on a gag reflex.

Y'know, considering the pun of this episode, it's funny they mispelled the title.

Hmmm... Maybe there was an alterior intention here. Or maybe I'm giving 4Kids too much credit.

 

[Habunake]

They mispronounced Raikou per usual, thats like a given now.

I did realize how much better the usual voices are then the new ones, I took them for granite.....BWAHAHA! PUN!

Well, better enjoy them while they last.

 

[Misty]

Um, "Onyx" is actually the correct spelling of the material, though I'm not sure how that relates.

 

[duel_disk_101]

They mispronounced Raikou per usual,

Yeah, that's just SAD!

I never got it, was that Onyx thing on purpose? I tivo'd it and I was watching it for a few seconds and I saw the title... Turned it off in 2-3 mili seconds

I always like when the Pokemon run into something "scary" and we see their face expressions. lol. I like episodes where the Pokemon are the main ones involved, and tell the story.

And with the Onyx thing, I bet they didn't know that the Onix Pokemon is spelled with an "i" and not a "y" so they just used the "y" because they weren't sure maybe. (But that's why we have a thing called a PokeDex. ;-))
