    Here's where you can talk about the latest appearance of Suicune and references to the Valley Windworks in today's episode, "Drifloon on the Wind!".

    Sorry it's so late...I'll talk later.
     
    I liked this episode because my favorite pokemon Drifloon is in it and a Legendary pokemon had appeared too and this episode was more of mix between team rocket's craziness and a rescue episode. And it did a have a battle albeit being a bit short .

    You're late, I'm late, whoops. Besides, I'd figure you'd get to it, anyway. Heh.

    I saw some spoilers ahead of time, so I was aware of Suicune's return, but why bring it back? We had it in the first Johto episode, the fourth movie, and the fifth season episode that referenced it and Ho-Oh? On the other hand, at least, they remembered its' North Wind status, even though, you'd never know it by looking at it.

    By comparison, cover another Legendary instead? But then, I forget if there is another Legendary based on wind legends, anyone? Oh, well.

    Enough needless griping -- you'll get actual griping whenever I see the episode. Heh.

    This episode was nice with the litte Joys, but it confuses me that they want to grow up to be Nurse Joys but their names aren't Joy, first or last. So how does that happen? Suicune was a bit refreshing, but I wanted to hear it speak at least. "COOOON!":disappoin

    Did Drifloon actually do anything besides float Big Little Joy? The title was accurate, but misleading. I need to watch it again to refresh my memory.
     
    I kinda liked this episode. Did anyone get a good look at Brock when he saw Nurse Joy's wedding ring? XDD Shot down again eh Brocko? I was a bit bewildered when I saw her husband through o_o and yet his children look actually like Nurse Joy lol. It was good to have a refrence to the valley windworks but one thing was missing from this episode... Team Galactic! When are they coming into the show? I want to see some Galactic action lol. Suicune was a rare treat I was expecting one of those lake Sinnoh legends but Suicine is ok. But why did'nt Ash tell Dawn or the joys about his encounters with Suicune? That would have made the episode better. So yeah good episode but not that good especially without team Galactic and Ash's encounters with Suicune so 9/10.
     
    Yay for quick uploads! But the preview picture spoiled Suicune in the Pokedex lol.

    I thought this episode was kinda boring but it was funny at the start.

    What was with the weird Ampharos pronounciation? They said amph-ah-roahs but I thought you pronounced it amph-ah-ros

    - LOL at Ash being hit on the head.
    - I don't know why they're all so surprised that the little Joy's are going to be Nurse Joy's...aren't they all? This episode proves they're not clones, since they have a father
    - "Boss land" LOL that made me laugh for some reason
    - I thought Meowth sounded a better in this episode. I can't remember if he sounds the same as the last episode or its just because I was watching Johto on Saturday
    - Ash's voice sounded REALLY good when he was first walking along with little Nurse Joy. Don't know what it was but I liked it even better
    - I thought Jessie sounded really high pitched in this episode. But again, this might have been because I was watching Johto

    I thought Team Rocket's appearance was REALLY pointless this episode. They've left them from getting blasted off a few episodes in D/P, so why not this one too? They came in to get blasted off! And like I said, I've been watching Johto League Champions every Saturday and I thought their appearance in this episode was more pointless than some of those episodes! That's bad...

    As someone said on YouTube: Why couldn't they use the Drifloon to get over the bridge?
     
    I didn't watch the entire thing...
    Because it was kinda dull.. still it managed to be slightly more amusing than some of the others in DP so far. At least it was cute in a way, with Nurse Joy and her daughters.

    & Driftloon... that thing is so cute!

    ^^; Thats basically the only reason I watched it in the first place.
     
    Yeah It was missing Team Galactic and yeah why couldn't they use the Drifloon to go across the bridge.
     
    Hey, they missed the Rocket attack in the Slowpoke Well in Johto (kinda, since J/J/M actually did a proxy version), so, at least, they're somewhat consistent? Going with that, as everyone is saying Generation IV is in the same timetime as II. Bah.

    Why no Mars? She's the best villain of the lot!

    To answer that question, all the girls had Joy as their last name. So this episodes proves that they aren't clones. Teeheehee and also that they called Nurse Joy because Joy is their last name, not first.

    Well this episode wasn't really much of an episode. To me this episode could have been a bit better. I mean like how many episodes have Suicune been in the show? Even worst Ash or Brock said nothing about seeing Suicune before. I kinda could have gone without Suicune but at least we see here that some region pokemon don't just stay in the region where they were introduced. Still Suicune could have stay out of this episode but okies.

    I kinda disappointed in this episode. I mean the game really had a good story line that could have been used for this episode with Team Galactic. I mean they could even have tied in Drifloon by letting them help save the day along side with Ash.

    Team Rocket. Well at least they weren't just chasing after Pikachu this time.

    Well this episode could have been really good but it just wasn't what anybody expected. So much could have been done to make this a good episode but it just wasn't well used. I guess the writers wanted to do something different by not following the game's storyline for this episode but they choose a bad time for doing that. The episode was okies but it could have been really much better.

    Teeheehee Also I call next week!!! Teeheehee

    Snap. There goes the wondering cloning theory. I'm still holding it for the Jennys, goshdarnit!

    And, glad someone else feels what I feel, regarding Suicune appearing for the umpteenth time. Why not Entei? He got shafted of the three. Bah.

    Have fun with next week's. Duel Icha and Chris14 for it. Hah.
     
    Teeheehee Poor Jenny. They still haven't shown much about them. I mean we just see them run around providing justice. Still somebody told me that there could be some gentically alteration in the Joys since they all look alike. Teeheehee You can live off with that idea Dark Charaxes. Teeheehee

    OH! I just remember something funny from this episode. It did provide a good joke.

    Brock: It does have the P so it has to be a pokemon center.

    Teeheehee Haven't they learn that just because it has a P or a pokeball on it doesn't mean it is a Pokemon Center. Remember Kanto's Pokemon League? Team Rocket. Teeheehee

    Entei got a great movie and was in one episode during the Johto episodes. I remember that. I say great movie beats episode apperence. Teeheehee

    *Pulls out big mallet* I am ready!!!! Teeheehee

    I will! I'll write a great fanfic saga with that plotbunny, and...wait, someone already did that? Darn it! Shakes fist.

    Anyway, I'm not sure if the "P" thing's a joke, or you're just remembering things more than the writers on the show are. Shifty eyes.

    Yes, the Entei movie was a great one, but it's negated because the actual creature wasn't in it: only an Unown-created simulacrum. And, yes, the movie version definitely beat its actual first appearance. How embarrassing.

    Go, big mallet! Heh.
     
    There goes my clone theory. As for the Joy daughters, my father had three boys that looked more like him than my mother. There must be some strong genes that run through her family tree. :t110:
     
    It could still be clones. Just not like Pokemon cloning, but real life cloning. I mean, all the daughters look exactly like her and nothing like the father. Maybe this Joy didn't live close enough to the Battle Tower XD I still think that Joy is their first name though and their first names were just a sinlge episode thing.
     
    Ash must be a retard for not remembering Suicune.Fun eppy, don't really know why TR appeared, pointless appearance, but same with Brock, the only reason he goes to every region with Ash is beacuse the writers don't want Ash to starve to death and beacuse Ash is a total retard that can't even guide himself with a map.

    There goes my rant.
     
    Well, well, not much fighting in this episode, but that's okay, seeing as we just finished Dawn's first successful contest. At least they remembered the Windworks...but nothing about Team Galactic. Hmm, que sera sera.

    I was amused that they had so many Drifloon there, but they said nothing about its Pokedex info: it carries children away from their homes, never to be seen again. Heh, I guess they actually DID get into that...

    Suicune was a serious surprise, but it still fits better than Mesprit or Uxie. After all, the dramatic rescue wouldn't have worked as well. If only Ash had rememebred how he got there in the first place >.>;...

    Suicune was the only Legendary of the Wind. Simple as that. ...Besides, as Reyna said, Entei (regardless of if it was real or a fake) has a movie and Raikou got a special.

    ....Gate Cannon!! *KA-BLAM*
