Probably the single most anticipated episode of Sinnoh so far. Shame they split up the special.

I really hope they give Jupiter a deeper voice. I've always heard her sounding kinda like LadyDevimon.
Mars, let's hope it's got that youthful exuberance.
And Cyrus, holy crap man, do NOT screw him up (...vocally. I mean, the man covers about half the DSM-IV just by himself, so you know EXACTLY what I mean).

Also, when this goes live, if anyone (in particular Galactic fans) wants to have a chat, get me on. My messengers are listed in my info.
 
Yay I'm up at 4 in the morning! Pokemon comes on here 3 hours ahead, so it's technically 7 AM on my TV.

Anyways, what time does the show air on CN? I haven't watched the show lately on TV.
 
Please tell me what is Karashina's dub name when the episode airs.

Closed Captions may be needed to get the exact spelling.
 
You're telling *me* about closed captions? I'm the one who taught *you* about them! Hahahaha

Anyway, for me it's on at 6 am. For most people it's on at 9.

I'm telling this to any person who's watching the episode (as I do not have possibility to do so myself), not just *you*.
 
Crap, scrolling captions! My old nemesis!

TOXICROAK YES!

Saaaaaaturn...dear god that's the most flamboyant I've heard him. Maybe it's the posturing.

Awww, I was hoping the town would be all tiny and stuff.

So hmm. Just killing some time while the Twerps go on. Cyrus's ability to command Golbats etc may play into an explaination as to why he has a Crobat, which is a happiness evo, when he's supposed to be all...you know. Although I've heard he's more like his DPA self here rather than his "emotionless" game self.

--That scares you, Brock?

Rhonda is doing serious reporting?

Secret organization? Aww, I was hoping that they were the "we advertise on tv and operate out in the open" force from the games. Because that's badass.

...BROCK SHUT UP that was the worst pickup line you've ever had. And are you seriously EXPECTING to get hit now? Well, at least you learn.

Fashion freaks? You guys LOVED the Galactic fashion not that long ago! Although they *are* freaks, you gotta give 'em that.


Carolina is gramma's name, pronounced "Car-o-LEEN-a".

GRUNTS!

Code names...and youthful voice, is that Mars?

It's Carolina.

Heh. An alike. I was expecting something more unpredictable (I mean, I expected her to have a surname, which would work as a speculative surname for Cynthia).

So, do they call her "Professor Carolina"? Sounds awkward...

Thanks for information, anyway.
Here's the cookie.
 
LOL all your rivals. Got a month?

Oh god Ash that's the most inappropiate time for a battle since Eusine challenged you

...I THINK THAT'S TED LEWIS AS CYRUS. The weird diction has to be him! Unless it's someone imitating him.

Modul of industry and construction...that had BETTER play into something later when he turns Sinnoh against itself or sommat.

nnnnnnn cheerful Cyrus is creepier than he usually is. Notice he's glaaaaaaaring when the camera's not focused on him.

If no one's ever seen these pokemon, how do you have carvings of them?

Euxie is how it's pronounced? Awww...

gyaaaah can't focus on notes...too many Galactics...

Man, Mars just sounded exactly like Domino. If she's the VA I'll freak out.

"Wow, spike hair is right!" --you guys work for probably the only group where people have worse hair than his gang, you have no room to talk.

"Tell us what you feel"...coming from him that's CREEPY

You know...Cyrus is gratutiously overacted but for some reason it suits him, since it's clear that he has very little control over his emotions. Also he stopped sounding like Lewis. And that's odd.
 
I know nothing about Cyrus other than the little hints I've heard dropped across the forums...but "covers about half the DSM-IV just by himself" already seems eerily apt.

As my roommate would say..."That boy ain't right."


(P.S....this is the first time I've watched the ep while on the review thread...this is fun! Heee...)
 
Ash, what are you doing Contest moves for? Spinning attacks now? Interesting. Secret? They weren't so secret in the game. Oh well, everything about Galactic isn't the same. Brock was expecting to be hit by Croagunk? The three beings. o.o Well done, Cyrus is pretty creepy. Argh, I missed a bit. Ow, stabbed in the stomach. Can't wait to see more.
 
Animation is great like always

I've never seen Rhonda so serious before.

So jessie'll vent her anger on Team Galatic for losing the contest.

Cyrus sounds....interesting. Guess that's just his nice voice for now heh.

I like how Cyntheia's grandmother is honest.

Mars sounds...familair.

Never knew Cyrus did so much for Sinnoh.

Yeah Ash, challenge a champion to a battle in the middle of an investigation. Idiot.

Cyrus is starting to get creepy. Though I must admit, he doesn't sound as psycho as he looks.

yay for a random Toxicroak heart stab.

Cyrus is good at playing incognitio.

This was a good setup episode. Can't wait to see the next one.
 
Interesting symbol on Jenny's hat. Looks like a bird between mountains.

Oooh, flash bombs?

So do Croagunk and Toxicroak have some sort of IMMORTAL RIVALRY or something?

Cynthia has no cleavage. Is that an edit?

Carolina, do you have nothing at all to battle with?

"Battle Dance"? What?

Brick Break against a Psychic type? You don't have anything like Crunch? But hell, it worked.

Is it just me or does Cyrus have somewhat of a drawl?

IMPALEMENT! Of course with no blood or lasting damage, but still!

omg omg omg omg over alreaaaaaady? *twitch*


WAIT WHAT THE HELL--why did they show the 4Kids logo at the end?
 
Cyrus is such a cool dude in this episode. He randomly rages and lusts over Orbs like a real man should.

Saturn is like total eye candy for fangirls. All he does he super special awesome things.

And... Toxicroak did a fatality on Croagunk. Poor Croagunk, I liked his amazingness. At least now I know what he was sensing.
 
I'm pretty certain Cyrus is Sean Schemmel...which is awesome. *hearts* He doesn't play evil people often.

Professor Carolina...augh. Surnames, people. We like them! ...Hey, Cyrus called her "professor". That's good enough reason for her to be called such.

And OMG, I just had an '80s flashback with Croagunk falling through the skylight. Croagunk is now my Raphael...as if they aren't the two biggest badasses in all anthropomorph'd history! ^_______^ I can't wait until Croagunk gets to kick Toxicroak's butt once and for all~


EDIT: And Mars is Lisa Ortiz.

I'm not the only one who thought so! I was like, man, Cyrus sounds...familiar...he sounds a little Giovanni-ish, but not quite.

I also love Mars' voice. And Saturn, he's a badass. I have to say that I didn't really like Team Galactic at first, but they are starting to grow on me.

I really enjoyed this episode. (So much, in fact, that I almost set my kitchen on fire, forgetting about the toaster oven because I got so involved when they blew up the ruins. Have you ever seen a black, smoking pop tart?)

I can't wait for the next episode. This was definitely one of the better episodes in the pokemon anime, ever. Definitely the best of this season.
