DP131 Review thread.

So DP131 just aired. I will have my review as soon as possible if I get to find a version of it and all. But I did see DP132 preview. That monkey is a bullet now.

This episode was really good, I thought!

- They're talking about Yuxie ~
- Pikachu sitting with the Pokeballs was really cute
- LOL it was Lucky this time! Nice change
- The crazy language is looking more and more like Japanese all the time, I'm sure
- Masura Taun no Satoshi-kun desu ne! Advertise Masura Town!
- Since there's a referee, this is an offical battle?
- Satoshi is confident, as usual ~ Makes me feel sorry for him
- Hopefully Rocket-Dan are going to be keeping out of the battle and just watching. But wow, they're making a big deal of this battle. Not that that's bad ~
- Apparently, those disguises are from an episode that aired 11 years ago, the one with Kojiro's fiance
- Odd, to make a change, even though they shown a shot of Hikari etc watching, they didn't say a thing. Just shows how epic they're making this battle
- LOL he recalls Buizel straght away! I was *not* expecting that! I thought Satoshi would just go with it, like he usually does
- Shinji doesn't say anything haha
- Hmm, it looks like Hikari is really concentrating
- They're bringing back the RBY Champion Theme a lot recently
- Shinji keeps Dodatoise out even though it's really tired...Satoshi doesn't do that. Just a random thought
- Whoa, quick loss for Mukuhawk?
- Oh, it's still in
- I love how they say a lot fo the attacks in English
- Shinji smirk
- Another movie 9 track haha
- Buuburn is scary o.O
- Ahhh! I can't wait for next week now!

-The Pikachu with the Poke Balls thing, pretty cute
-Epic setup is epic.
-Torterra vs. Buizel?
-Oh, GLION, even better <3
-Woot, Glion kicking ass <3 <3 <3
-YOU DARE BITE ITS TAIL?! BLASPHEMY, DODAITOSE!
-Using Fire Fang to get rid of Giga Drain...nice.
-Glion's really becoming competent at battling. <3
-Wait, STONE EDGE? :|
-Haya vs. Electabuzz? OK, I guess...
-Oh wait, he just wanted to be cheap and use Light Screen. WEAK.
-Paul's Honch is an ass. I bet you ANYTHING it'll be what evolves Chimmy; third time's the charm after all. =)
-Poor Haya...didn't get to exact its revenge.
-Buuburn looks...fat and evil. :|
-Yay, Pikachu is doing pretty well against it
-WHOA MONFERNO
-WHOA MONFERNO KICKING ASS
-WHOA URSA KICKING ASS
-WHOA BUIZEL GETTING ITS ASS KICKED...AGAIN <3
-...WHOA CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK <3

OMG OMG OMG, THIS IS SO OFFICIAL THAT HIKOZARU IS A MOKOUZARU NOW.

Damn, I'll have to watch this episode now...

- Thank GOD TR are gonna watch the battle.
- WHEN DID THEY GET SHINJI'S PICTURE?!
- Dodaitose VS Buizel?! Size...
- That was sudden, Satoshi.
- Shinji, SAY something.
- Oh, now you say something.
- Woot, Glion pwnage-! OH NOES~!
- Noticed something from the commentors. "Man they got a ref and everything. Guess the producers could'nt wait until the Legue. " XD
- Mukuhawk pwned Manyula.
- Shinji doesn't say anything, does he...?
- Shinji, what a cheapo- I seem to be complaining about his inactivity.
- OH! He has a lovely grin. A LOVELY one.
- I don't understand what Reiji was saying at all.
- Hayashigame is PWNED.
- SO MANY RED BEAMS FLYING AROUND!!! (Meaning: They return Pokemon a lot.)

- I still love the ending so much. Cute.
- If me and my family go to Japan, I'll check out the new movie, and if okay, I would take out my DS secretly and get the Arceus. :)

- My beans say Satoko'll lose.
- My beans'll say Shinji wins. :) I'm rooting for him.
- OMG MOKOUZARU EVOLUTION MOE MOE KYUN jfjafjejfajfoajfoi *spaz attack*

In this battle we see Ash taking on Shinji. Yet somehow the battle doesn't look all the intense. I mean, I don't get the this-is-an-epic-battle feeling like a had when Gary vs. Ash after the Orange League.
I hope the next episode is going to change that, the preview looks promissing.
By the way, anyone else find Shinji just looks weird drawn in this screencap?

I agree with you. I didn't feel any intensity/edge-of-your-seat whatsoever, at least during the last half of the battle. Poor choice of bgm; that star wars-esque Movie9 music which played from Honchkrow vs Grotle all the way 'till the end was awkward, and a lot of tension disappeared with it.

I also feel that all the comments from Brock and Reggie was a cause to it as well. I mean, it felt like 5 second battle, 10 second talk, 5 sec battle, 10 sec.. etc.

Let's hope the next part makes up for this one. And I swear, if they put in Symphonic Medley as an insert song during the climax, then i'm gonna murder the damn music editor >_<
