"Getting the Pre-Contest Titters" Episode Discussion

Dustox, on the other hand...it's been used some, but not as much as it should have been, especially being the only one on their team knowing a Psychic attack (something Ash actually has no defense against type-wise)...

I'll pick JLU instead, thank you very much.

Hey, if you want to point out Dustox's neglect, you got no argument from me. I'm rather outraged by this, just as I was by the neglect of her Lickitung and Brock's Forestress. Silly writers who can't keep it all straight. Shakes fist.

And I thought I was the only one who wondered about that with Ash's lack of Psychic defense, and the fact the Rockets got a bunch of them (Wob, Chime, Mime, Tox's Psybeam).

Anyway, episode comparison is up, and it's a heavy one. It also addresses the "No need to worry" issue with Dawn, and how PUSA is making her more obnoxious. Whoo-hoo.

I also go with JLU. Heh.

Hey, to be fair, Lickitung was also the only TR Pokemon to ever successfully KO Pikachu (back in the Princess Festival episode in Kanto), so I'd say that was considerable attention. It also had a fair few jope appearances...

Ash's team actually has quite a few weaknesses that carry over, Psychic just being one of the biggest ones. He also has trouble with Ghost-types...

That's very true. But then, when you consider how it never won again/featured 30-40 episodes later, the theory evens off. Still good, though.

Yeah, we need a prominent Ghost type to give Jessie, since Jimmy has gotten them Psychics. I know on Wob, and that's a great start, but hmm...

Shuppet?

...And end up with Banette? ...Nah, I think Harley has that one covered...

I know! Let's give her a Spiritomb!! :D

Perfect! As it's the Gen IV counterpart to Sableye (and we all know who owns that). Now, if only the producers would get on this.

Anyway, Dogasu updated his comparison, dealing with this "Dee-Dee" issue.
