Yes Finally they make it to the gym.

[Charicific]

4 gyms in one season? Cool! Some sweet Pace...

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

Does this mean BW will finish before 2012? We're going to be at badge four as soon as Best Wishes turns one year old at this rate, after all.

Or not. The pace seems quick but they've gone a whole year without gym battles once pretty recently - 2009 had such horrible pacing, after all. Maybe they'll pull that off again.

[Kenshin5]

They could conceivably have the end the Saga around the end of 2012, and then start a filler Saga similar to Battle Frontier/Orange Islands. But I think the pace will slow done a bit.

I think the pace has slowed down considerably from start of the series. First 25 episodes we had 3 Gym Battles. The last 25 we have had none, and now it appears looks like and next episode is the match or the most of the match pending it starts at the end of this episode. I am hoping they stick around a bit in Nimbasa since there is plenty to do there, they have another Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma there hopefully. Then travel to Driftveil(which doesn't seem far from Nimbasa so the distance between matches may not be that long. I figure they will meet Alder and fight at the Cold Storage before that happens though. Where I think it will really slow done is after Driftveil. Route 6 and 7 always seemed pretty long and then they have to go through Chargestone Cave, and Twist Mountain.

Finally Kamitsure!
I've been waiting for her =D
I really hope she will get nice seiyu =)

[Mew~]

Summary, from bluesun;
"Satoshi and the Pokemon Trainer, Bel, head to Raimon Gym, aiming for a total of four Gym Badges obtained by winning over Gym Leaders in Pokemon Gyms.
The Raimon Gym Gym Leader is the Electric-Type-controlling Favourite Model; Kamitsure. But in the Gym awaits Bel's father..."

Looks like a storyline quite close to the games, I'm pretty much liking this.

[Kenshin5]

I wonder if from here she will be like Nando with the Contests and Battling but in here cause Musicals. Yeah follows the game woot woot, maybe we get to see Bianca battle.

So Bianca has Shelmet it seems... Sounds like Elesa may wipe the floor with her since it lists all of Bianca pokemon but only Zebrastrika for Elesa.

The Magnificent Gym Leader, Kamitsure appears. Kamitsure specialises in using the electric type.
BW49: Raimon Gym's Gym Leader is the favourite model, Kamitsure. Satoshi wants to battle, but Bel's father is in the Gym... With her father wanting to take her back home, Kamitsure proposes that she and Bel battle, and to take Bel back if she loses.
BW50: Satoshi is practicing tactics prior to his Gym Battle. In order to counter Kamitsure's electric-type Pokemon, he drops Pikachu from his team, and Pikachu becomes unhappy. And the Gym battle starts with Satoshi using Gamagaru.

BW49: Satoshi and friends have come to Raimon City to get the fourth badge. In the Gym, the favourite model who controls electric-types serves as a Gym Leader. Bel wants to hurry and challenge her, but on the Field her father is waiting to take her back.

BW50: Satoshi is practicing tactics prior to his Gym Battle. In order to counter her powerful Electric-typed Pokemon, he makes up a team which excludes Pikachu, and Pikachu who was ready to battle gets depressed. In the Gym Battle, Satoshi counters with Gamagaru, who Electric-typed techiques do not work upon.

BW49: In order to get the fourth badge, Satoshi and friends, and Bel, come to Raimon Gym. In Raimon Gym the Gym Leader is the electric-type Pokemon controller, the favourite model Kamitsure. But. Bel's father waited in the Gym. Bel's father tells her to stop her adventuring and return home.
BW50: Satoshi is practicing tactics to oppose Kamitsure's fearsome Electric-type Pokemon, and so makes up a team which doesn't include Pikachu who cannot deal much damage to Kamitsure's Pokemon. But, Pikachu who was ready to battle gets upset. And the battle starts.

I hope Bianca is at least somewhat competent in her battle with Elesa since I'm a bit frustrated with her being portrayed as dumb by the writers.

Super excited for this one though. D: I really can't wait to see how Ash fares against her Emolga since Iris has one, too. Maybe he can get some pointers.

[Kenshin5]

I think she is more ditsy then dumb or ignorant. At this point she has done nothing to prove herself competent though, neither has Ash imo. I can wait too see how he fares against Emolga, since I hate those freaking things, especially if she is using two like in the game. I hope Palpitoad plows through her, cause I love this freaking frog ever since Ash caught it, screw Oshawott give this guy more screen time.

[Mew~]

You can see Bianca's dad, sorta. New Meowth gag!

[Kenshin5]

I assume all the scans aren't from the same episode since the topic left ones on the right side of Emmet and Ingo look like they are from 49-50?

[KingKaos]

I saw the preview for this episode 3 minutes ago and let me just say...Elsea is going to jail for murder! If you see the preview you'll get what I mean. This episode is really going to be something, after all we haven't seen a rival battle a gym leader for a badge since Paul.

[Kenshin5]

Either Zebstrika is quite strong or Bianca hasn't really adequately trained her pokemon. Pignite should have used Flame Charge from the beginning to counter her strategy of maximizing Zebstrika speed. And Ash almost has to go back to Pallet oh noes! The episode went by fast, and Bianca did was funny since he is all serious one moment then battle fierce the next.

[Jorah]

Ugh. The plot was awful. Bel's dad randomly turns up and says she should go home without giving an adequate reason. At least in the games it was obvious he didn't approve of her leaving in the first place. It should've been made known that he didn't ike the idea over a few episodes, rather than just one episode where it just seems like it made no difference to the story. Although I wasn't expecting Bel to lose against Elesa, it was so obvious she wouldn't have to stop her journey :/ And like Ash would've just went home because some random guy told him. Why couldn't Bel battle her father instead of Ash? If she wanted to prove that she was able to travel? Awful. Makes no sense why Ash winning a battle should mean Bel stays travelling. Oh well, I liked Elesa. Cheren's theme is just so cool XD
