Review S08 EP46: On Cloud Arcanine

About goddamn time this threat went up.

This ep was very... blah to me. It was like "Follow Arcanine here... it gets away. Now follow it here... it gets away. Now follow it here..." The battle between May and Drew was really random and spectacularly uninteresting compared to what we could have gotten, and then we have the standard TR wrap-up. 6/10.
 
Munchlax once again proves he rules. Using extreme speed to grab all the Pecha Berries was hillarious.

Was that the same boss from the Hoenn League?

Drew better thank god Squirtle-the lord of terror- went easy on him.
 
Wow, an Arcanine. Let's see the dex even though I must've seen this poke a few times before. I have nothing to say except for cute little Growlithe puppies.

This was before Squirtle discovered it was a god trapped in a turtles body. In fact, the Grand Festival match between them will probably play out like this:

May's Squirtle uses Ice beam! It misses! Flygon launches a counter attack! It misses! Squirtle uses Ice beam...again! It hits! Flygon's wingtips were frozen!

Squirtle does Bubble/Ice beam combination...Flygon is badly injured.

*insert Drew's new magical mystery Pokemon here*

Magical mystery Pokemon wipes out Squirtle and May's other Pokemon (Combusken?) and Drew wins the battle. May is absolutely flabbergasted! But ho harm is done, as the crowd is on her side and cheers her on.

Drew flicks his hair and looks pretty, Drew fangirls squeal in delight and want to have his children.

Later, Drew tells May he'd like to see her at the next Grand Festival. May concurs. Drew walks off, May stares...fandom goes nuts. I say people are making a big deal out of nothing, and then Jo-Jo writes a ten-page essay proving me wrong. Rinse and repeat.

Then we just twiddle our thumbs until we get to the D/P saga.

It's the last time we see Drew in the 4Kids dub. Enjoy.

Can't say I'm gonna miss him. Not that it matters; he'll just come back with a new VA and I'll still hate him.

So remind me again, why with the Boss (not Giovanni) there? Random appearance in Kanto? Twin brother? Travelling business? Or purposely stocked there to just confusing the daylights out of me.

God this episode was boring. The only thing redeemable about it was Extreme Speed and Arcanine's voice. It had some nice vocal effects. But still. Boring. *kicks Drew for good measure* If I don't see him ever again, it'll be too soon. And it's a guarantee he'll return, so yeah, I'll save that for later.
 
Yeah, this was an okay episode.

Unfortunately, aside from everyone trying to catch Arcanine first (and getting to see Drew again, of course) there wasn't much to this episode. Although, I loved seeing those cute baby Growlithes. They were adorable!! ^^ So overall, this was an interesting episode, to say the least.

Rating: 3 out of 5
