I don't bother posting ratings much. Half the talk includes off topic stuff, the other half compares live action ratings (which are still declining in the 18-49 demographic for NCIS) to anime.

Bored of it. To be honest the whole sub forum for Pokémon Anime bores me. Constant bashing of X series. Said my one piece on XY and moved on. Might post occasionally but to be honest, why bother.

The Pokémon ratings thread is driving me insane because of the usual suspects (I'm even dealing with one who won't admit that the Pokémon anime has gotten worse after the fad died).

True, but the overall plot was easy enough to follow.

How odd of there not being an English sub for this week's episode available.

The pattern would've been perfect if the episode aired in 2002 (where Sunshine was the 3D Mario game released).

XD I hadn't realised that was a thing. Might have to get the Switch now.

Yeah, that's the one (wasn't sure if that was the correct title). Now that you mention the Japanese release date, there goes my pattern about a 3D Mario game coming out on the same year a swimsuit episode from the Pokémon anime comes out (Sandshrew's Locker came out on 2007 as Super Mario Galaxy, and the Mareanie episode is coming out this year as Super Mario Odyssey).

Japan: 13th February, 2003
USA: 20th December, 2003

I assume you mean Brock's Lotad from; The Lotad Lowdown.

What was the release date of the Lotad episode in the Hoenn saga?
