THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Wow, I've never seen Team Rocket put up a fight like that. That Wobbuffet countering attacks left and right. And that Inkay was also fighting well. Inkay being a Pokemon of TR seems to be intentional with how its Japanese name fits well with the blastoff.
And seems like Eureka's proposals will be like those moments with Brock and Citron will be the one to pull her off just like Misty/Max/Croagunk did in the previous season.
Tomatsu Haruka as Jessica is nice. On to the Miare Gym and Citron's secret, which is painfully obvious(at least to those who played the game).

No shipping hints, for now. We can't have them every single episode I guess. Not that I'm expecting the romance to go anywhere in this season. Ash is as dense as Ichika.

I'm glad they beefed up Team Rocket in XY. Sure they're still losers but at least now they put up a decent fight.

I hope they do, it'd make Pokemon that much more enjoyable for me. But I have to agree with your second statement unfortunately.

Pokemon --> Built on dense and platonic relationships >:(

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Although there has been an episode to fill, I liked all the suction and excitement that was in the episode, in the part of the battle against Team Rocket. It was great to see fight in obeying the voice of Pikachu Ash, even though he had a dirty face and was at a disadvantage, it was certainly one of the best performances happened in the XY series.

Not only highlighted by the battle episode was also funny with the stupid wig and sensual Wobbuffet, so let a representative of what made ​​me laugh more gif:



A good episode, really.

I got tired of searching for English subtitles, for a non-raw version of the episode, and I found a video with the subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese... notice that I am Portuguese. They seemed to be quite reasonable, but unfortunately there were a few minutes missing.
I believe the video stopped when Jessica was brushing her Furfrou, near the end of the episode, therefore I did not miss much.
The blog Lukario PK Subs is clearly down, but what happened to the other fan translations? It got really hard and a huge waste of time to find the episode with English subtitles... yet for some reason, a lot of people seem to be understanding the episode well without them.

Seiyuufag here. I can recognize voices of some of the well-known seiyuus like her so it's not hard to spot Tomatsu Haruka's voice for me. I also confirmed it in the credits in the end, though it was just matching up the kanji in her MAL profile to the ones in the credits.
Jessica is ジェシカ in kana so I looked it in the credits and it lists 戸松遥 next to it which is her name. So yeah.

I dobut it, they'll probably recapture Citron's gym that was taken over by some kind of invention. It would be too soon for the next gym battle, and he is the 5th gym leader anyway. But regardless, the gym battle against him will be an interesting one, he will be the first gym leader Ash traveled with longer before fighting him. Citron will know all his Pokémon and their fighting style.

Did y'all think that Pokemon XY has gotten a tad more violent? XD The human characters other than Team Rocket are getting hurt now.
- Eureka gets her knees scrapped
- Officer Jenny(sp?) gets hit by Manetric's Thunderbolt
It's pretty cool that they're getting hurt in a serious way that isn't comedic.

And damn Ash. The way he used Pikachu in this battle was sooo impressive. The battle was choreographed very well too.

The battle Ash Vs TR was good, TR battling a lot better than previously seen.
It'll be a while for the 2nd Gym battle, at least 5 more episodes of random stuff before then, just as in the game itself, it's a long journey from the 1st to the 2nd gym.
Other than all that, the episode was average I guess.

Yeah, I remember it took forever to get to the second gym in the game. I'm personally hoping for more shipping moments. That's what makes an episode above average for me ^^

WELP..........dat ending tho........another shipping hint! She said " how nice it is to have something you really like" and Ash didn`t hear her clearly so he asked her to repeat again and she was like NEVERMIND and ran away. Obviously that "something" was Ash.

Nice fighting Ash!!
good to see that they remember that pikachu trust him unconditionally.

Rest of the episode was standard introduce gamemechanic that involves a pokemon.
thought it was interesting to see that Jenny used a Manetric.

About the whole '' crappy'' subs, while they might have been perfect you at least could make a crude outline with them, and since this is pokemon most of the time you dont need the dialogue to solve the plot or to understand what the aim is.

Also no one forced you to watch it.
We all knew that Pocketmonsters would sub it eventually so its not like that he was the sole subpokemon outlet.
Fastsubbers for instant access, slower fansubbers for perfection.

That was a great episode.

Not sure why people are rating it low. The quality in Pokemon XY in general compared to previous seasons is astonishing.

Furfrou got wonderful! Her trainer made a fantastic work :) Now Ash and his friends are going to Luminose. By the way, what Clemont and Bonnie are hiding from Ash? This is a quite mysterious.... -.- Well I guess I'll find out on next episode.

How did Ash not recognise Team Rocket? they sounded the same, looked pretty much the same. He's such a dope sometimes.

I liked the cool Furfrou makeovers though. They looked better styled than normal.

Pretty "chill out" episode compare to the previous ones.. So this episode main focus is Furfrou with the whole grooming things.. While nice it's a little bit boring IMO, but it's executed well anyway and like some people said before, this episode Team Rocket doing pretty well instead of get insta KO as usual, lel..

I guess Serena still haven't sure which "career" she will choose for the later of the stories.. We used to have pokemon coordinator in gen 3&4 so i hope they made something similar in this generation since IIRC we don't have anything like that in the game so probably the anime have to make some new "career"

Overall a good episode.. looking forward to see the next ones.. 4/5

Jessica is cute.

Eureka continues to build a harem for Citron. She's the new Takeshi.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

I still can't get around the fact that Jenny and Joy looked so different from usual. Are they even the twins from the past regions we've seen?

Also, wow... Team Rocket is getting more awesome but still used as "bad"

I hoped Team Rocket can get some shining moments.

episode about furfrou, oh well, though to be kinda boring it at least adapting idea from the game.

love the ash x pikachu chemistry, XY is best so far in battle writing and animating.
(though i wish it would be less like the game mechanic)

Lmao Wobbuffet parading around was hilarious, always loved the Pokemon.
Also it was cool to see Ash work so well with Pikachu despite it being blinded.
