"Malice in Wonderland" Episode Discussion

[Forci Stikane]

What a way to bring back the two of the three big guns of Hoenn, Rayquaza and Groudon, in a kinda sorta of way.

Oh, yeah, there's that too: this was the VERY, VERY first time that they showed it was actually possible for a trainer to posess a Legendary Pokemon...kind of. It might have just been an illusion, but now the door's open, and there's no shutting it from here on out: Ash & co. actually getting Legendaries on their team is now fair game.

Actually, while on that topic...when Mismagius "posessed" Rayquaza, I understand the color change, but...I would have appreciated the bit of fanservice if they had changed it to its Shiny palette.

Indeed. That weird black color, which begs the question: when was the last time we had a Shiny? Not in D/P, I don't think.

The most recent one was waaaay back in Hoenn. A Shiny Donphan I think.

Worlds best trainer & coordinator huh? I hope I'm never that delusional. Ash doesn't do badly with one-on-one battling but chokes during championships because he refuses to use his most powerful Pokemon, except for his Pikachu. While Dawn has only been at it a few months and lost her first few contests. I loved her in that Piplup outfit.

A free all you can eat restaurant? You would think someone might as least question it a bit before pigging out. Gotta love Team Rocket. Here's your sign. :cheeky:

Episode comparison time! And this time, lots of dialogue oddities. Enjoy.
