Because I wanted to create one.

So yeah, the episode with Shaymin and Marley. I'm excited to see it.
 
The dub only kept three pieces, which would become extremely pathetic until you find out which ones they were.

- When Marley wakes up
- The Team Rocket Sneaking Theme
- The Team Rocket Fighting Theme
- The Team Rocket Motto

Just. Pathetic.

I liked the episode, and how Marley said she was an alien.

Marley (<3) her voice is too emotional in the dub

I don't know what show you were watching. She clearly had the emotionless tone. By the 3rd act, it's obvious she would have had to injectt some emotion.

Rockets, Music. etc. Is there anything new to complain about? I suppose the episode itself, which we established long ago had very little reason for having Shaymin or Marley there.
 
Great episode. I'd definitly rank this ep high on my favorites.

Shaymin and Marley (And Arcanine for that matter)! <3

I got a few laughs out of it. Especially when Maarley told Ash and Dawn that she was an alien.
 
Marley made me laugh...

That was a weird TR machine.

There's also the piece when Marley wakes up.
 
Haha Marley is an alien.

I've never seen Shaymin's Sky Forme before so that was a treat. I like how the ice was animated when Torterra used Rock Climb, and when that flower bloomed at the end.

Overall a good episode.
 
I found Marley at the beginning funny, how it seemed she was interested in Brock's name over saying thanks, lol.
Great episode! I wonder what happened to the discarded mecha!
 
So nobody is going to say that there was some forshadowing in this episode, you know when brock treats Shaymin, Marley says he is kinda like nurse Joy.
 
The plot of the episode was good, and Marley was an interesting character (well, Mai was at least...), but the dub just wasn't as fun with all the movie 11 music gone. I wonder why the Rockets always get to keep their music?

Wasn't this episode just a rehash of Movie 11 without the villain?

I think this being a mini movie 11 is why I like it. Same cute story in less time! :)

Well, the motto is obvious... and I guess they think the other two became "iconic" enough to keep (and I think one of them is also a version of battle game music, and game music is kept most of the time if I'm not wrong)
 
Wow, can you imagine how hard it is to keep up a flat voice like that? Wow. Foreshadowing, much? Ummm...why didn't it use Aromatherapy...aw, forget it. Eh, nothing eventful really.
 
Wow, I kind of enjoyed this episode. The voices were perfect and the humor was good too. 8/10
 
How anyone said Marley's voice is too full of emotion is beyond me. She sounded so dead it was hilarious. Maybe I should start waking up early on Saturday mornings more often(walking up at 7 AM? On a Saturday? Haven't done that since I was 2).

Oh, coincidentally I just did this event in my Diamond version last night(but forgot to save shrkebduwowmh) and it pissed me off when I saw that her Arcanine could use Flamethrower in the anime where in the game all it does is Helping Fucking Hand.

This episode was based off a post-E4 sidequest in the DPPt games first of all.

It was only that Shaymin has the second forme that Movie 11 material had to be included.

Other than the fact that Shaymin's two formes appear and the group is going to a secret garden, there is nothing in relative to the movie.

There is no Reverse World or Giratina, for example.
 
Uggh, this episode feels like such a waste. Marley's whole attitude and the other's reaction to it is pretty funny, but then it all goes out the door once they let the Shaymin out of the bag basket. I wish they'd ran with with the sarcasm ('It's because I'm an alien...') longer.


Also;
'She's gotta be in the forest!'
'To the forest!'
'The forest?'
'The forest!'

Accurate (and funny!) Rocket dialogue. Gotta love it.
 
Good episode. Marley was just likable enough with her ignoring Ash and Dawn. The team rocket mecha was fun. Brock was actually a team player in this one instead of a cheerleader.
 
Overall, I liked this episode. I laughed when Marley said she was an Alien, and also when Team Rocket skipped Metapod and went right to Butterfree. They are hacking! No double evolution :p
