The first dubbed episode of 2006 features a disaster Pokemon. Uh oh.
Anyway, it's nice that they focused on the Absol mythos but I dunno, I sense something was off here. Y'know how they had Blaziken as a major bad *** when Harrison used it end of Year Five and then the seventh movie had it playing with the other Pokemon and being so cute and outgoing with everyone and just wrecking the prior image?
It's kinda like that here but at least with Absol, it was a brand of being misunderstood.
And yes, Nicki is quite annoying in his voice and convictions, sighs. Oh well.
As for the Rockets, it's what Reyna said. Although I do find it irony seeing the Rockets being useless here despite the fact they've saved a good majority of the filler episodes this season. Sighs.
I could say more but Reyna covered it, so 6/10. At least they gave some exposition for Absol. Huzzah.
