Weekly Animé Discussion #418: Caterpie's Big Dilemma

[Charaxes]

Here is where you can discuss the season's Kaiju (in today's case, Mothra) spoof in "Caterpie's Big Dilemma".

My review to come forthwith.

Yet no Godzilla...lol.

Well, Team Rocket came up with a GOOD idea for once, and it probably would have given them a promotion had it worked. They even skipped over the "This is what the Boss will say" thing this time.

I find it hard to believe, though, that Ash never mentioned the fact that his first capture was a Caterpie (unless he DID say it and I missed that part).

Well, there are some things from the past that the writers forget to mention, so that really doesn't come to a surprise for me.

Anyway, despite the fact that it's just a typical filler, it gets points from me because I'm a HUGE sucker for size-changing episodes.

One thing I didn't get was this: after the giant Cacnea went all lovey-dovey with James, we never see it again. o_O
Forgetful much, writers?

 

[blastoise>you]

I couldn't watch this whole episode. I hate pokemon that are friends, that aren't captured. why can't they be both? I also hate size changing episodes of anything. I don't know why, they just bug me. Also idiot-genius professors are annoying. 5/10.

godzilla's spoof is coming next season... look forward to it, it's a pretty good episode..

Really? Who grows?

On another note, I forgot a few things before. For one thing, TR had the candy in their posession, and had they just settled and gone back to Giovanni they could have figured out the "recipe" and gotten their promotion anyway. Oh, well, that's what you get for being greedy.

Also, nobody seemed to mention the damage that Caterpie caused, specifically the tower falling over (I mean, that had to cause damage to SOMEBODY, yet no complaints).

And like Strawberry Delcatty mentioned, they forgot to include Cacnea going back to its Pokeball. They also must have cut out Caterpie atacking Team Rocket in the night, since there was a memory-flashback later on about it.

One more till the contest!!!

I think we already had a size changeing one. Treecko. I was expecting a giant pikachu too.

It seems like we do have a new and improve Team Rocket because they came up with a new plan. Why steal the pokemon while you can steal the plans.

Yeah. They did forgot about poor old Cacnea. Poor her.

7/10-Not bad. Not bad. Just not much to say. I just can't wait to get to the next episode. Contest one with Harly to match.

Also what Gozilla one? I don't remember one like that. I know there is a King Kong one with Slagking.

Yay!!! Contest one up next!!!!

Well, one funny thing about this episode. If Misty had seen that giant Caterpie she would of freaked! lol

 

[DoubleWide]

James has a knack for finding plant Pokemon who seem to love him alot. I had a dog like that once, she went to everyone for loving, but usually snuggled up with me. Good thing she was little.

XD Yes!
If only Misty would've been there... XD That would've been so amusing.

This episode was interesting to me, I missed most of the Johto episodes, so if they had size-changing ones, I missed them. ^^; Therefore, this episode was original to me.
I thought the little candie that can make you stronger was kind of interesting... even though the side-effects weren't really worth it...
(Steroids for Pokemon!)

I remember now; Treecko vs Gulpin

...and the giant Claydol...

AND that Alakazam, Gengar, & Jigglypuff episode we had WAY back in Kanto.

AAND the "Pokemon Island" episode from just after Vermillion City (end of the St. Anne arc).

They really DO love making them big, but they haven't touched Pikachu yet.

 

[Miss Reyna]

They have done a giant Pikachu. It wasn't Ash's pikachu but it was a pikachu. In Island of the Giant Pokemon, there was a giant pikachu that Ash mistaken as his own. It was small far away but as it got closer they saw that it was huge!

I know about that, but I meant Ash's Pikachu specifically. Besides, it wasn't really a pokemon...
