Ash and his friends are traveling on a boat to Hearthome City (I think).

In this episode, they let their Pokemon out to play and have a party. XD


Also, Dawn wears a Piplup mask, and Ash gets freaked out for some reason. XD



Yay!!

I can't wait to see this episode!!!! :-D
 
Team Rocket's random jingle = freaking epic and catchy.

And Piplup Bubblebeaming Dawn's hair is an odd mental image.

Ooh. And a direct reference to Aipom's gender as confirmed. "Aipom, Buneary...Ooh~ You girls look so cute!"
 
I don't know why, but everytime I hear the narrator doing a voice, it bothers me. Maybe I'm just not used to him doing anything besides narrating.

No matter what, Croagunk looking at itself in the mirror will always be awesome.

The nice thing about this episode is that it had a good art director.
 
Aipom and Buneary just had their genders totally confirmed. OWNED. :p

This is the infamous episode with Dawn's skirt, you couldn't even notice it in motion.
 
I haven't smiled this much in an ep in a long time. Really good ep.
 
Buneary's reaction to Pikachu being teh awesome was a little over the top. It looked akward.
 
Sounds like a good ep, I didn't get to see it though. But LOL at the Mickey title.
 
I don't think I've seen a "movie short"-like episode in a while. I liked it. TR's weird jingle wasn't hard on the ears but it was definitely strange ... even for them. It still bugs me that the pokemon don't realize it's J&J.

And I must really try hard .... REALLY REALLY HARD ... to avoid any wood-type joke regarding Sudo and Buizel. I wonder what Buneary's and Pikachu's kids would look like...

So, it was Pika's and Piplup's idea to abandon ship ... how was Sudo supposed to deal with all that water? Have we forgotten what type it is?
 
Pretty sure the whole "referring to Aipom and Mimirol" as girls is dub-only.

At least in this episode, anyway.

Good for them, but the "Pikachu is male" crowd are going to be insufferable now.

Not if they say, "Well, it was a dub-only thing, so it doesn't count [for Buneary, anyway]." I know in that one recap episode, Aipom was called a girl, so it's in both the Japanese and English dubs; however, I don't recall such a confirmation for Buneary.

Unless people like crossdressing Pokemon to fit with their shippings, Buneary is definitaly female. I think Aipom had it's gender confirmed in the clip show episode, Dawn called it "A girl that likes contests".

DAWN PANTY SHOT!!1! I noticed it, and immediately fapped like a fanboy, IT WAS TEH HAWTNEZZ!11!

Not really, but it wasn't as big of a deal as Dawn fanboys made it out to be.
 
And so, the dub adds more fuel to the gender debate inferno. It's not as if any of the traveling pokemon will ever develop a serious relationship on the show for any extended periods of time so genders in my opinion are moot.

I agree with Sketch. Giving the narrator a story role erodes the whole 'omniscient' air that's built up in him every episode that helps ease the story from reality into fiction. I never like to hear the narrator inserted, but there's not much you can do with a limited cast I suppose.

On the episode in general, I thought it was yet another great filler to get to see what Ash and co. do in their travel time.

And Brock free of any love traps = lulz around. :-D

What the hell is up with Sudowoodo's look towards Buizel?

Sudowoodo's trying to act all cool, like Buizel does, and imitating it. You can imagine if Brock had it when Ash caught Treecko, he'd be imitating Treecko too. It's a quirk. OMG, that gives it some actual type of personality! Leik, ttly amazing~! *stone face*


You know, letting two brats try and save a ship when you'd think they shouldn't have any nautical experience, Mr. Narrator Guy should've been on that Mantine too at the very least. That irked me so much.

The 'girls' line isn't anything defining, so quit saying it is. They chose to wear dresses. You don't need to specifically be a girl to called one if you're in a dress. If you have a guy in drag, you'll call him a girl too, if only to go along with the choice.

...God I love Pachirisu. *____* So fucking cute~! That whole balloon thing. I want a Pachi-version of the flying Pikachu~! And I like how it was considered 'young' too.
