"Pruning a Passel of Pals!" Episode Discussion

[Charaxes]

Here is where you can discuss the Wallace Cup elimination rounds in "Pruning a Passel of Pals!"

My review to come forthwith.

I still hate that title. Heh.

 

[Laterna]

I LOVE the title :P I think it's so much fun to say out loud XD I deconstructed it in my head using my old English memories, the alliteration and assonance and stuff is just weird, it's like a watered-down tongue-twister XD

Anyways, I've read about this episode on Bulbapedia and seen a few pics on Serebii so I'm really looking forward to watching it tomorrow (I live in the UK so I'll have to use YouTube to see it tomorrow morning). Will do a proper review then ^^

*cookies*

 

[Sushi.]

The title was not bad and thought this episode went really well!
Review time! ^^

- A complete Ice Aqua Jet!
- May's Skitty returned!
- May's Bulbasaur complete evoulution into a Venusaur!
- Kyle is such a jerk. >:O
- Shame, Ash didn't make it to the next round by a close one.
- One more legend Pokemon to go!
- Dawn's Buneary went very well this time.

I give this a 8/10 of a great episode! ^^

 

[Vernikova]

It was a fun episode. Kite, I mean Kyle, sounded snobbish, I guess, or confident.

Dawn takes out color swapped girl from the Trick House episode and that color swapped boy from Pokémon Tech episode.

Shellos, Skitty, Venasaur, and Misdrevous make cameos.

Rating: 8.5/10

 

[Jorah]

Didn't pay much attention because I've watched this episode 1000 times in Japanese. I'm not sure if I didn't pay attention because of that or I'm growing bored of the dub

- Wow, I'm watching on computer and that music is QUIET
- I couldn't see Ash on the floor cause of advert!!
- They replaced Twinleaf BGM!?
- Zoey's from Snowpoint?
- sigh-multaniously? Sim-ultaniously
- The boy looks like from "school of hard knocks"
- Didn't keep "Last Battle!" from movie 6, one of my absolute favourite battle themes
and replaced it for their stupid guitar theme...
- Dawn's ice aqua jet!

Music kept:

RBY Opening theme (Gekijouban movie 1?)
Ash runs to Brock
Contest Theme
DP Gym Battle
GS Opening theme

Misdreavous was in the episode where Zoey broke her leg

 

[Vernikova]

Yeah Jorah, it looks just like the boy from episode 9. Did you notice one or two more color swaps in the episode?

 

[Jorah]

I noticed the boy, not the girl though because I probably wasn't watching then. It's possible that all they've done is recycle characters (it's Pokemon being green! XD) they've done it before. Dogasu's got a list of chacters he's found recycled https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/recycling.html

 

[Vernikova]

ZOMG! They color swapped an entire crowd XD.

 

[Jorah]

I just looked through both episodes, they look a little different

 

[Vernikova]

Imagine the new boy whth bigger, browner hair.

 

[UberChomp]

Overall, the episode was great, much more entertaining then the first round of the contest, less talk =] Crawdaunt appearing at the end was really cool, Ash getting beat was predictable, I want Zoey to die though...ugh what a lesbo.... Anyway, I hope May wins.

 

[gameplay]

-7.5/10

-Ash and Pikachu see Azelf! Yay!
-Ash is overreacting... Why am I not surprised?
-Piplup's Bubblebeam at Ash!
-"Now it's your time to wake up!"
-Dawn wins with Buneary! Yay!
-Couldn't Venasaur have more camera time?
-Jessediah(sp?) makes an appearance again!
-Another cameo for Paul! Wow!
-Ash's Buizel is just..... Wow!
-Ash lost..... Thank God!
-Love Pachirisu!
-Zoey is from Snowpoint City!
-Ice Aqua Jet? Nice!
-I knew that kid looked familiar. (:
-Skitty came back! Yay May!

 

[Laterna]

Awesome episode as always ^^

~ Azelf was so cute and amazing, I loved it's dittle show on the lake ^^
~ I found the sequence with Ash that followed Azelf's appearance to be really out of character actually...
~ I'm not surprised Zoey is from Snowpoint cos of the way she dresses, she reminds me of one of those mounties XD
~ Then they all get changed *burns their old smelly clothes they've been wearing for god-knows how long without taking them off until like an episode ago*
~ Bubblebeam on Ash rolfmao XD
~ Buneary was awesome ^^ I absolutely adore that dittle bunneh even more now ^^ *bunneh cookehs*
~ Should've shown more of Ash, May and Zoey's first battles.
~ Ice Aqua Jet! Awesome!!!
~ Ash lost... not too happy with that, I had hoped to see him face off with May again or Zoey that would've been cool ^^
~ Again, need more of May's action, she came back for these episodes yet she's not appearing any more than a cameo really during the actual Contest action *cries*
~ May VS Zoey and Dawn VS That Dude... it's kinda obvious where this is going... ^^ should be good ^^

 

[Charaxes]

I'm not sure if I didn't pay attention because of that or I'm growing bored of the dub

- Zoey's from Snowpoint?

Maybe it's both? Don't worry; I'm bored of the dub, too. However, it's for different reasons (couldn't stand the dialogue anymore, plus no TV for me).

She's from Snowpoint? Maybe that's why she's so... cold. Ha....

Oh, I'm terrible.

 

[Jorah]

I wouldn't mind so much if I could watch it on TV, it's so much better then because I can concentrate more. I mean, I liked last episode so...I don't know.

Imagine the new boy whth bigger, browner hair.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking

 

[Daisuke33]

Awesome Episode!

-Pruning"? Ugh....lol
-I'm in love Satoshi's costume and Buizel ^^
-Dawn and Burney were great!
-lol Bubblebeam on Ash
-Azelf!
-Wait...Zoey is from Snowpoint?!
-From the way she dresses it was a dead giveaway
-I pictured Zoey being from somewhere like Canacalve or Sunyshore, but Snowpoint is....COLD
-<3's May!
-Skitty and Venusaur cameos!!!
-When the heck did Venusaur evolve?!
-Darn, it should gotten more camera time!
-That guy with the lanturn was a major creep
-Ash should creamed that guy! Come on!!
-I can't wait for the May/Zoey and Dawn/May showdowns!!
-Yeah..but May has to leave soon! NOOOOOOOOOOOO :( *cries*
-I know, I miss her already!


Episode Rating: 9/10

Ash didn't do too badly for his third contest, perhaps he should participate more as an extra level of training. Since he almost always chokes during tournaments, he can use all the help he can get.
