    Here is where you can discuss Team Galactic's attack in "Losing Its Lustrous!"

    My review to come forthwith.

    (Decided to try the Japanese title, with Bulbapedia's translation. Let me know what you think.)
     
    -This was the first episode that had me squealing like a little girl in a while. 8D
    -Cyrus was wonderfully creepy. I swear that dude has NO control over his emotions.
    -Also, Mars sounded adorable albeit a little nasal.
    -Poor Croagunk got owned. D:
    -Go Cynthia, Go!
    -Wow. The twerps actually did nothing of value except make it look like they have a shot at victory over a professional criminal syndicate/religious cult.
     
    It's more epic with the Japanese title Charaxes.

    -Takeshi noticed that Croagunk didn't attack him. Twice.
    -Did Shirona's VA change or is it still Emily? I'm just wondering.
    -Akagi sounds kind of cool.
    -Now Akagi shows how crazy he is.
    -Mars sounds like an older Amy Rose.
    -Croagunk died due to being stabbed.

    Not a bad episode.
     
    Oh My God! EPIC EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    - Ash is getting good with his moves
    - Croagunk... Didn't react to Brock's love struck episode!
    - Dawn is just kind of there...
    - Team Galactic...
    - Cynthia! The smokiin hot champion returns!
    - Cynthia's grandmother is... kinda... egotistical when it comes to her granddaughter
    - Wow, those police officers are dumb as stumps to get fooled by Team Rocket
    - Toxicroak vs. Crogunk... amazing.
    - I feel bad for Croagunk! That looked like it did more then knock out croagunk!
    - Garchomp returns! And one shots a Bronzor! I hate Bronzor so much!
    - Ash and Dawn? Chosen by the Lake Guardians?
    - Team Galactic is serious... dynamite?
    - Now I am completely engulfed in the next episode... seriously its all I'm going to be thinking about for the next week. What Pokemon will emerge from the Pokeball that Cynthia has thrown?!

    And now, I dedicate an entire section of this review to Cyrus.

    - Cyrus arrives! In a business suit?!
    - Oh my God... Cyrus has Goku's voice?!
    - He seems nice...
    - Your a little passionate about your work.. aren't you...
    - Geeez louis... freak out on Ash and Dawn why don'chya?
    - His face seems to get eviler and eviler as the episode goes on.
    - Nods stealthily to his subordinates
    - Imagine a world... free of war! (So you blow up an ancient temple?)
    - Cryus is the coolest bad guy I've ever seen on Pokemon.

    I loved this episode. If only Paul were to get involved somehow... that would make it even better!
     
    And now, my ELoT...


    • Pika-go-round!
    • Buizel-go-round!
    • Around and around and around they go, where they stop nobody knows!
    • TELEVISION :O
    • No duh, television lady. Who else can be mistaken for Team Galactic?
    • LAWL. "Alright, what's up?" Croagunk is out of commission today? D: Aww
    • I forgot how lame Cynthia sounded.
    • Karalina... not bad.
    • I HATE THE GRUNTS' VOICES! D:
    • "I would then venture to guess you couldn't beat my granddaughter either?"
    • Guy with big mouth and blue hair? Cyrus? xD They're really pulling all the stops here.
    • At least Cyrus' voice isn't too bad, but...
    • MArs sounds like a whiny kid.
    • "IMPOSSIBLE. YOU'RE NOT LOOKING HARDLY ENOUGH." ... "Uh, sorry."
    • Peacenik... you have no idea. xD
    • Come forth and face me, channel-changer!
    • I like my Mesprit better... seriously. She must have been dared by Azelf to show up in front of Dawn or something. -gags-
    • Herioic Policedude Pose... activate!
    • Saturn is funny. c:
    • DIVE-BOMB! Right to the gut... band... thing.
    • There is not once scene in this episode that portrayed Cyrus with a blank face like the canon would suggest... :|
    BOTTOMLINE: Win. Epic WIN.

    Agreeing with Blade... Cyrus is the coolest Pokemon bad guy EVER. Seconded by Zero, who is also awesome but has more awesome one-liners.

    I had to re-write this.

    - Airplane! With Golbats! That's dangerous!
    - Brock with Happiny...
    - Rhonda! She looks different... Probably the eyes.
    - LOL. Happiny's eyes became squares.
    - Cynthia! She sounds different...
    - Cyrus! With unexpected voice! I like it!
    - Grandma! She kinda scares me...
    - TR! ...Eh.
    - I finally know how to pronouce the lake trio's names! =D
    - They need new thumb bumpers... Oh wait! We're back!
    - Cyrus goes slightly insane, followed by...
    - ...EXPLOSION!!1!1!
    - (I'd be freaking out about now)
    - WE'RE SURROUNDED
    - Croagunk is now... Croajunk. *cough*
    - I don't want to wait till next week... does anybody, really?
    - 4Kids! Again..?

    PUSA did a good job this week. Their music fit the scenes nicely. I'm sure I heard a new piece from them.. was it with Brock and Happiny? They kept most of the more important pieces, so that's good. It was fun to watch. Seeing Meowth running on four legs like a normal Meowth made me happy. :3

    I will soon, in 35 minutes.

    Looks like it's good, can't wait.
    I'll put the edit for my opinion in half an hour.~~

    EDIT:
    Garchomp in action is so cool!
    Holy snapz, Cyrus? My friends gonna be very happy!
    "I shoulda known, there were more of them!" -Ash
    ...Yes, you shoulda known...
    ...the end was epic...
    Poor Croagunk! He was so young!

    Wow, this whole episode was epic.

    - Oh noes, a toxicroak on the roof and a swarm of Golbat. A barrel roll would sort that out, easy.
    - AARRGH! a floating hand!
    - Don't even pretend that you used tactics, Dawn. You suck, 'kay?
    - Buizel can...fly?
    - Oh god, more spinning?
    - Aw, is poor ickle Croakgunk sad?
    - Phase 1 of Level E...G2, this is G1...what are they, commandos?
    - "I like your spunk!" that sounded weird, from an old woman to a youg boy.
    - You know he's evil - just look at his evil eyes.
    - I bet its something to do with Toxicroak...
    - What's with the long pause there?
    - Dynamite? Well, they seem a little more serious than TR, at least...
    - Its a shiny ball. Get over it.
    - Cyrus is epically evil
    - I KNEW IT!
    - That......had to hurt.
    - DON'T YOU DARE!
    - NOOOOOOO!

    I saw the english version with the jp. version on my psp. There was one piece of music replaced i think and Pusa tends to add music a lot.

    granny's voice sounds a little too young. Mars (she's cute) in my opinion, sounds like in jp.

    In one line, shirona says about the boys who are completely opposites (Ash and Paul) but cynthia says about the kids who like to do a lot of challenges (Ash & co.).

    Overall, it was a pretty good episode.
     
    -YES THE BAD GUYS ARE WINNING! *GASP* THEY MUST BE.. H4xx0rz!
    -Brock isn't meant for love, when no one stops him, he stops himself.
    -Poor Croagunk..
    -Like said before, the plan things was getting all confusing..
    -The show is meant for kids, why say words that they can't understand?
     
    This episode was one of the most epic and absolute best yet...it makes me want to see the second part so badle now!!! everything was placed perfectly, voices were great, and Ash os getting a lot better with working up strategies...He just might win this Sinnoh League and move on to battling the Elite Four in Sinnoh afterwards...but bravo on this episode...an epic victory for pokemon anime at this point!
     
    This episode makes it seem like Cynthia and Cyrus are rivals or siblings or something. Loved it.
     
    - Hmm PUSAs music is getting good. Oh wait, not the music when Pikachu comes up is not
    - Cynthia's coming! Huzzah
    - Haha no Croagunk attack
    - Heh, TR are still calling Galectic fashion freaks
    - Whoa, the grandmother doesn't sound like a nice person haha
    - I did,'t get it when I watched it in Japanese, but when they say G1 and G2 the G mmeans Galectic
    - Haha and Cyrus sounds like a nice person XD LOL reminds me of Miley Cyrus/Hannah montana *shivers*
    - Wait, Cyrus sounds weird
    - I'm sure they called them "Lake Gods" in Japanese
    - OH NOES DYNAMITE XD In Pokemon!
    - Hmm maybe it needs 3 people who have seen the different Lake guardians each
    - lol Cyrus gets angry

    Music kept (5):

    Route 3
    Team Rocket's Sneaking Theme
    Talking about seeing Mespirit etc
    Seeing the Lustrous Orb
    Music when the blown up the area (movie 9)
    When they're surrounded (I think so, I can't hear well because people are talking next to me haha)


    Hahaha small info changed from Japanese and dub

    In the dub "The Sinnoh region is said to have orginated with Mout Coronet"
    Japanese "Mount Tengan is also rumoured to be the beginning of the world"

    Small, but the dub is trying to make it seem as though Pokemon does not take place in our world haha, they talked about the world, but gave hints it was a different world to our one
     
    Just saw this ep on YouTube. :D

    -Yaay! Another Team Galactic episode!!
    -I still think Saturn should sound like a teen instead of a 30 yr-old. :/
    -And why empty his backpack, Happiny?
    -Hah, I guess Croagunk's tired of hitting Brock now. xP
    -Cyrus?! What's he doing there?....and he kinda sounds like Brock.
    -PUSA needs more voice actors.......
    -Mars looks waaay better on TV.
    -Daaang, that must've hurt.
    -Cynthia throws her Pokeball and-AWWWW!!! Now I gotta wait till next week!!

    Rating: 9/10
     
    I just saw the dub. Saw the raw Japanese a few weeks ago, but... wow. Hearing Cyrus's insane ranting where I can actually understand it... That guy is nuts. He's not just an average Pokévillain, he's a certified pseudo-cultist nutso. I was a little disappointed when I first heard that in the anime, he wasn't going to be like his game counterpart (with all the emotional expressiveness of gravel), but I actually like this better. Emotionlessly-cool-and-calculating is great, but unstable-yet-not-quite-enough-to-register-on-other-people's-radars is even better. (Even if the only people he's fooling are Twerps and Friends Of Twerps, who admittedly aren't that bright.)

    Now I can't wait to see the next episode dubbed, to hear what he's saying. Hurrah for the pseudo-cultist nutso flipping out on Team Rocket.
     
    - Saturn... sounds gay.
    - SHIRONA SOUNDS GOOD!!! (I never watch the dub, but... yeah.)
    - Carolina?! What kind of a name is that?!
    - Mars, you're my idol.
    - OMG! CYRUS, WHAT'S WITH THE SCARY VOICE?!!!
    - I knew it. He's Gaara uncle.
    - No, Carolina, you're too young for that voice.
    - ...CYRUS! NO, THAT'S A SCARY VOICE, AND I DON'T MEAN THE GOOD KINDA SCARY.
    - Dynamite.
    - He's getting scarier and scarier.
    - :( Cyrus, if I were there, I'd be staring at you in anger. GLARE INTO YOUR EYES...
    - CYRUS! YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT VOICE!
    - I said you don't! Don't you ever listen!
    - "Phase 2, start." > "Begin Phase 2." DX Not too good for me...

    Damn, dad's home. More to talk about later... ><

    Go on.

    - Wait... WHAT?! Oh my goodness, let me watch that episode RIGHT NOW!
    - Just doesn't understand how he does it. WHY do the heroes don't take notice of him?
    - Seconded. 'Nuff said.

    OH MY GOD, if he WERE involved, I'd say I would stab a hand at him being Cyrus' son... Oh noes, that'd make REGGIE his son! NOOOOOOOOOOES~~~!
