"For Ho-oh the Bells Toll" Episode Discussion

[Charaxes]

Here is where you can discuss the long-awaited exposition of the Three Legendary Beasts and the re-introduction of Eusine in "For Ho-oh the Bells Toll."

My review to come forthwith.

I remember this episode! I had it on my GBA video thing. Too bad I sold it, otherwise I'd watch it now to give a better review...

Since I had missed most of the Jhoto episodes, this was a nice little treat to me. I liked Eusine's Alakazam, though I remember thinking it didn't get enough air-time. All the wicked bug Pokemon were cool to me, but at the same time, felt a bit forced. An angry looking Caterpie just doesn't seem like something that would strike fear into people.

They weren't meant to strike fear. They were mad, and the animators wanted to show it.

This ep was really awesome. It had Morty and Eusine, and when Eusine was all like "Shut up Morty!" Morty looked so heartbroken.

Yep. It's definitely clear who's the top in that relationship. Oh shounen ai.

Seriously, though, this is one of my favorite Johto episodes (and is, for that matter, one of the few I actually like), and I blame this thoroughly on Eusine. I mean, seriously. He's so arrogant in this episode that he's awesome, what with his attitude of "OMG you're not worthy enough to have seen a legendary Pokemon!" towards Ash.

Uh... More intelligent review may come later, but that moment really made the entire episode worth watching. That what shedinjask has already brought up.

It kinda made me wish that they would have been more involve in the Ho-oh plotline during Johto now after so long instead of dragging it out into Hoenn and Battle Frounter.

Still okies. This was a coolies episode. It had some sense to it and the writers did a good job in involving an important item from the games. When I think about it now, Team Rocket did a lot of stealing during the Johto saga with the Crystal Bells and much late the Dragon Flame and Dragon Fang. Still that is much later on. Teeheehee

I think this is like one of the few episodes that actually spotlights Ash's ablity to see rare and legendary pokemon from what Eusine said. He didn't kinda like the idea that somebody like Ash has seen so many legendary pokemon. Teeheehee

I did like the battle between Alakazam and Suicune. Awesome. Teeheehee
