    Heh, Surprised that Charaxes didn't make a thread. Anyway, here it is a little pig getting captured.

    I'll give my review soon.
     
    It was a decent episode, not brilliant. Its probably the only episode which feels like filler even though something important happened. Plus, swinub ftw! It looked so cute when it stopped eating the first time and went to sleep, looking really fat!
     
    Yeah, I have a couple comments on the ep:

    -Ah, the trust of Pokemon, where a 10-year-old can stay overnight at a strange man's house and not worry about anything.
    -Was Team Rocket's bubble made of magic? It kind of magicked away when Dawn pushed the lever.
    -I'd bet money that the "Stayin' Alive" references were exclusive to the dub, probably because the writers looked at James' pose and cracked up. Anyone know the original dialogue?
    -Kind of a weird episode, meaning the same thing happened three times (They eat, Swinub comes in).
    -It was nice to see Ash display genuine emotions for a human though when Dawn got carried away. Reminded me of Misty days (though this does not mean I am a Pearlshipper at all, I just thought it was nice to show their friendship).
    -Swinub's cool but it'll prob never evolve bc Dawn's Pokemon are "cute" and if Swinub evolved it would be more powerful-looking than cute.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but...

    Spoiler:


    Additionally, what's with people constantly stereotyping Dawn's Pokémon, saying that they have to be cute, otherwise, it's a no-go?
     
    Hey, someone actually made a thread for the episode. My thoughts while watching:

    -Mr. Blacklot has a lot of pre-evoultions in his house.
    -The music when Swinub first appeared was pretty awesome.
    -Team Hikari seem really cool when they're trying to kill you.
    -Everyone is a little too helpful in the mansion.
    -Swinub hates Satoshi's poffins. it wouldn't even eat them.
    -I wonder why no one noticed Team Rocket digging that huge hole.
    -When was the last time we actually saw Team Rocket with a mecha?
    -Piplup is an apple now. :P
    -I hope Mr. Blacklot realizes that they aren't ever going to return.

    Spoiler:


    Rating: 8.2/10 I like decimals.

    Hmm, I remember that song from somewhere. But it does sound like a discoy song lol. Wow, interesting foresight the dubbers had lol.

    Anyways, I this episode was all right, Team Rocket and Swinub really made it for me.

    Swinub does look so cute though. Especially when it's eating like a little fatty.

    TR's motto is good today I must say.

    Though that machine looks epensive.

    Their last battle had some pretty rocking music what with the Movie 6 battle and the Gym battle. glad they kept them both.

    I love Yanmega too, especially with that robotic voice.

    Yanmega seems to be the only Pokemon who remains constant with different animators lol. Can't tell a difference between Shimuera's(not even with the giant Pokemon syndrome lol) and Tagachi.
     
    Alrightish episode, pretty alright.

    - Whoa, haven't heard the music at the start since Battle Frontier...it's PUSA music
    - Cleffa? Surprised to see it here
    - Mr Backlot! Am I getting confused, but I'm sure we've been to his house before...
    - Wow, the music is noticbly louder! Thanks, DuArt
    - Hahaha death look at Swinub
    - Swinub's voice isn't as cute as Urimoo's
    - Poketch remembered!
    - Aww Ash's poffins ae rejected again XDD I love this running gag
    - Crazy music used instead of Pokketari Monsutari


    Random: Swinub's nose looks like a poffin

    Music kept:

    DP Artist Encouter
    Team Rocket sneaking
    DP Artist Encouter (again)
    Team Rocket Sinnoh Motto Theme
    Furaigon Toujou! (movie 6)
    When the Pokemon are saved
    DP Gym Battle

    That's the DP Artist Encounter (not used by all artists and not just used by artists). If you battle the Artist the west route side of Hearthome, it has that theme
    ...
    I wrote it down on a document so I wouldn't forget. At least I know an episode where I can get a longer version now
     
    Does anyone else think that the Pokémon world is running out of oil too? I mean, it has been a while since I've seen a TR mecha and those things don't look cheap.

    Bsides the fact that they are pretty breakable by an electric mouse.

    That's very clever. it sounded kind of crazy and I've never heard it before either so... yeah. :P

    Cream of the Croagunk Crop had a mecha, didn't it?

    A little off topic, but, Jorah, did you say somewhere that your avvie was from this episode?

    Yeah, I said on Shinjareese's profile haha. I thought it was this episode, but now I'm not so sure. The background walls are different from this episode and the first time Poffins are introduced and the file name doesn't help either, anyone know where it comes from? Well, here's the full size pic anyway

    That is the

    Spoiler:
    episode.

    Besides, that doesn't look like the way Shimuera would draw Ash.
     
    Thank you! That's DP92 then, in 8 episodes time. I'll post it again there...

    I'm not really into the artists, so I have no idea whose style it is. I'm much more into the BGM haha.
     
    Long story short, no computer for me for a while (using the library ones, as my laptop had a meltdown). I'll grant Jorah and that S. guy the power to post them episode discussions while I'm away. I would have said it sooner, if my schedule weren't so... crazy.

    Yes, that's "Staying Alive," by the Bee Gees, in "Saturday Night Fever." Man, I hated that song.
     
    I cant wait til Swinub evolves. Also it looked so cute when it rolled over after eating all that food! ^.^

    I know! It's usually a pokémon I catch when it's available in the game I play. Too bad it's going to all change from here. I heard that swinub and Hikari interaction aren't pretty high in future episodes.
