DP 121 + 122 Review/Spoiler thread

[Mitchman]

Just saw 121. Rock climb grotle is a speed demon. I also love how now he can grow acorns out of nowhere from synthesis. Oh and the rebound flying. Man he became more awesome then any pokemon ash owned.

I've just finished watching both episodes.
Also nice to see some new eyecatchers after 120+ episodes.
The Pichu vs. Notched-Ear Pichu ending song is ok, though I've heard better ending songs.

All in all the two episodes were ok too. It feels weird to see the opening in widescreen HD when your used to fullscreen SD. The widescreen thing doesn't look weird for the rest of the episodes though.

I've put up some screencap of DP121 and DP122

This alone made the episode for me. He is god knows how many pounds and slow as hell but with a bit of sunlight he can go turbo charged running across a damn valley wall at 200mph.

Piplup is visibly jealous.

Well, so much for Grotle relying solely on defense.

 

[Mitchman]

So? If grotle can be a speed demon and a defense tank ash got one hell of a pokemon.

 

[thedestinedblade]

Almost of all his pokemon rely on speed. I just hope they don't overuse this move, and focus more on defense. A change from the norm would be nice.

 

[Mitchman]

Well they do. I mean he was training grotle agaisnt chimchar and it took full on flamethrowers without a scratch.

Aww and I thought it was movie music as well, but had no idea where to look...hey, cool, it's a remix of Route 24 then! Haha, I didn't know that.

 

[Hydross]

hah alrighty, i haven't had time to dl the sound anime collection yet, so i just assumed it was the right one. oh well ^^

 

[cookie_lovr]

Snover was so awesome!
Brock or Ash should've caught it. :(

What, ignoring the fact that the Yukikaburi essentially belonged to the woman and the group of children, along with the fact that Satoshi has six Pokémon in his party? >>

^Releasing Buizel is always an option. ;D

 

[Mitchman]

No it is not. Sorry to say but I love the little guy. Oh and he will be an essential part of ash's team and going up agaisnt pauls Magmar/motar.

 

[thedestinedblade]

Sarcasm, man. I'm thinking they'll stay with the trend and decide not to evolve him.

 

[processr]

As a side note, I think that speculation about captures, releases and evolutions is pointless until there are definite hints about such an event occurring. Take the title of DP122 as an example - Evolution! This Time for Pochama? With that, yes, you can debate it, but to be honest it was always going to swing towards Pochama not evolving; the question mark in the title, along with Pochama being featured in the poster for To the Conquering of Spacetime. Debating something like when/if Buizel will evolve, or if he'll be released, is pointless, as no hints have ever been given as to any of those things. =/

I enjoyed the two episodes on the whole, even though one was essentially a filler episode. The Yukikaburi in 121 was rather amusing, but I don't see why people wanted for Satoshi/Takeshi to catch him. >>; 122 was a character development-heavy episode, focusing on Pochama, who has become a lot more bearable in recent times. At least it gives an end to any speculation about Pochama evolving, I guess.

Oh come now I want a Floatzel but yes by tradition of course. But you never know. Krabby was good as a Krabby but as a Kingler it was a tiny bit better. but yeah whatever not open for debate.
