JP: "Koduck's (Psyduck's) Depression"
Dub: "Sitting Psyduck"

What nonsense is this? A Psyduck that doesn't belong to certain redhead?

 

[Jukain]

Random trainer doesn't have a clue on how to really treat it's pokemon. Ash and co. show them how to treat it well. TR causes mayhem. Nice to see Phanpy get some training in, though. o.o at Psyduck being clean in one frame, and then it's dirty in the next.

 

[Habunake]

I heard some new dub music, at the beginning, and at the Grass Slides and Pinball scenes, pretty good too.

Misty's Psyduck must've been special ED, cause this one was alot better at battling.

The James sliding down the hill scene reminds me of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...

Snubble Episode deja vu.

I think this was the first time they called the pokedex dexter in a long time, but that may just be me.

 

[FabuVinny]

It was Dextette in Hoenn so unless they've called it Dexter since the Oak's lab episode, (which I wouldn't know as I haven't seen any BF episodes yet,) it's the first time in years.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

DAMN it! My tv started shutting off so I couldn't catch the full episode!

Shouldn't Ash know what grass sledding is since he mentioned in a previous episode that he used to go down the mountains on a board?

 

[QuietDragon]

... You're expecting the guy who gives May advice, then forgets it and does the same noobish mistake the following week to remember that again?

And again- shouldn't he have known what a Pidgey was considering they're probably everywhere around Pallet Town?

Orrrrr the writers somehow forgot that detail.

This is why I don't care about the fillers too much (and is steadily losing interest in the show). I think I should've realized this a long time ago, though.

Also, Machop's voice bugged me. A lot.

Did it sound like a nasally nerd? If so, yeah, it bugs me, too...

Didn't catch this epp myself. Not like a missed a whole bunch, but... *shrugs*

 

[Kthleen]

And they got rid of the "Demo daijoubu!" magical mail-order announcer guy!
Emily's voice didn't seem to fit her for some reason.
And Psyduck didn't have a nickname! (Although "My Little Sweet Honey Psyduck" would have been even weirder....)

Other than those (and Machop's annoying voice), it was an ok episode. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't Throwing in the Noctowl, either.

 

[Habunake]

Throwing in the Noctowl was a awesome episode.

Machop sucked though, sounded like the old Machop on steroids, crack, and any other abusable substance.

 

[TK n Happy Ness]

Did anyone else notice that this ep was rated TV-Y7? I was watching it on Buffalo's WB channel, WNYO I think. It was probably a Kids WB screw up. Basically what people said, same as the Snubbull ep. Trainer's too stupid to realize their Pokemon's miserable, then they realize it and basically change their way. And doesn't it seem unusual how Emily had all those butlers and maids, and yet no parents? What is with all these rich kids (Emily, the Eevee Bros., etc.) not having any parents seen?

 

[joshnickerson]

I liked this episode the first time I saw it, when it was called "The Trouble With Snubble" *L*

But repeat plots aside, I thought the first half of the episode was pretty good. The entire "Boss Fantasy" sequence was upright hilarious (with James constantly pointing out flaws in Meowth's plans), and I enjoyed the sledding segment. The second half, as previously stated, was incredibly predictable, though I was impressed by Psyduck's attacks. It might've been a bit better if Team Rocket hadn't popped up again.

Still, Psyduck was one of my favorite Pokemon when Misty was still around (and one of the few I can vocally imitate), so any episode that features any Psyduck is ok in my book.

Side Note: Is it just me, or is Emily a really popular name in the dub? I swear it's been used several times before...

 

[GreatLiver]

Who else is called Emily aside from the girl in "Take this house an Shuppet?" Now that I think about it there are too many rich people in the pokemon world. Every other person lives in a mansion.

And even the poorer people live in mansions. Duplica, anyone? She wasn't exactly rolling in money when she was introduced, was she?

Emily was the girl with the female Nidoran from the Orange Islands. Remember Ralph and Emily and their Nidoran in love...yeah...that ep.

Now I am enlightened, but yeah it seems like they're running out of names. Now they're just giving people weird names nobody would ever name a child.

 

[Trainer Lisa]

Except for the fact that I was VERY surprised that my used my name in the recent episode "Rough, Tough, Jigglypuff".

Hehe, they already used my name in Pokemon 3, so I wasn't expecting them to use that name at all. And that was soooooo awesome!!!!!! ^_^


And uh, I'm kinda busy right now, so I'll have to post my review of thise episode later. XD

 

[NoodleChefKyle]

This is the first time I've seen a Psyduck use Hydro Pump. Awesome!

 

[Rayne]

Dunno, looked more like a water gun to me. Something about it just seemed 'weak'

I know that they said it was hydro pump, but it just didn't have the same oomph that other hydro pumps have.
