Weekly Anime Discussion #411: Numero Uno Articuno

[Charaxes]

Here is where you can discuss the introduction of the first Frontier Brain, Noland, and the two parter battle within in "Numero Uno Articuno".

My review to come forthwith.

was great to see the first ever battle with a legendary... though the articuno had to be a young one still, as it was smaller then most seen articuno. Was a good episode though :) Great how Charizard did.

Was that the same Articuno from the PoKeMoN the Movie 2000, and from the Articuno episodes from the Johto season's? i am supress that Ash or Brock did not say any thing about the other Articuno's they had meet befor. I like the part were May stop Ash from fighting with Max, when she told him to look at the Moon, and how romantic it was. to me that was advanceshipping hint, thow you might not consider that has a hint,but I do..

I thought it was a good battle. I knew that secret move Ash had up his sleeve was Overheat. I only wish you could fight in the games like you could in the show. I'd be able to 'freeze Charizard's wing tips' to bring it down, hah.

 

[Forci Stikane]

Um, you're all reviewing #412...#411 was the one before the battle.

Well, anyway...

Why couldn't they just have Ash catch a legendary, for goodness sake?? I mean, that look on his face looked more like "That's it! I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!" than "It's so strong....I have to battle it!"......and, of course, Team Rocket bursts in ("Pikachu, Thunderbolt!......oh, yeah, he's up in the plane..." LOL) as usual, but what would an episode be without them?

*end of rant*

Ahem...

I never noticed the moon comment...oh, well.

And, at the end, Charizard swoops in with its trademark Flamethrower hello...probably would have been funnier if it had been Overheat, but that would have ruined the surprise...

Overall OK...only one more episode before the new voice actors......
