A Battle by Any Other Name! (829)

I loved this episode since Miette debuted and I love her ha ha. Her comment about Serena's Pokepuffs was kind of passive aggressive, but I did like how she helped out against Team rocket in the end and made a remark about taking Ash away from Serena. :3

Ok this episode was too predictable esp. when THREE GROUPS REMAINED (1/3 being someone from the main cast and 1/3 being a formidable rival of the said main cast member). I didn't like Team Rocket's interference in the contest. What a sore loser they were. And there was also a fanservice scene concerning AmourShipping, which, I didn't really find unnecessary for some reason. 7/10

Miette was entertaining and a worthwhile rival for Serena except that I didn't like the baking Pokepuff subplot much. 6.5/10

Hahahahaha, I love when Ash is clueless. He's got two girls fighting over him and doesn't have the first clue. XD I liked when Clemont was impressed by Team Rocket's name for their machine too, and Serena's unimpressed. :) Fun episode.

9/10

So here we saw Serena's first encounter with her new archenemy, Millefeui. Millefeui sounded good here, as opposed to later when her seiyuu gets changed, and I thought that her snide remark about Serena's Poffles when Peroream ate them was reminiscent of Urara. I enjoyed how Millefeui noticed Serena's crush, too.

Hopefully Miette will be back, because she mentions that she will learn to make better PokePuffs and Serena said she will be better as well when they meet again, and the whole jab at stealing Ash from her. :p

If making those Poképuff thingies is Serena's goal that is by a large margin the lamest goal a main character ever had in this show. Oh well, at least she might have some purpose in the show, besides being a pointless love interest for Ash.

It's Miette's goal, not Serena's. Serena's goal...well, you'll have to wait a bit longer but if you don't like it you'll have plenty of company on these forums (not me, though, I enjoy her goal, though there were as always some problems). Cut the writers some slack in the "love interest"/romance department, though, as it's their first time trying it intentionally.

Serena only cooks those PokePuff things to feed her Pokemon occasionally; she won't make cooking them her goal, thank God.

In hindsight, since we knew that Serena was a skilled Pofflé confectioner and because Millefeui was a good baker in this episode as well, you'd think that the writers would've leaped at the chance to turn Pofflé competitions into Serena's main goal.

Leonhert what's your favorite scene from this episode?

Millefeui's attempt to unnerve Serena when she told Serena that she should tell Satoshi how she feels about him, otherwise Millefeui would. It was amusing seeing Serena's reaction.

-Slurpuff is relatable. It’s a sugar magnet!

-What does the blue-haired lady get out of insulting Serena?…

-Why are the girls arguing? Can’t they get along and share baking tips?

-Clemont supremacy in action! Also, I’m slowly getting used to his voice in the anime.

-Team Rocket aren’t very good bakers. Rip.

-“Miss Monarque, will you marry my brother?” It never gets old. Ever.
Bonnie for Prime Minister of Kalos.

Romantic competition! This is gonna get interesting. Especially considering that Ash is as dumb as nails.

-Oh, gods. Horde battles. I remember those. *shudders*

-I love Miette’s Slurpuff’s voice.

-Miette is cute, even though she’s stuck-up.

-At this rate, it’s a wonder Jessie, James, and Meowth haven’t conquered the world. Giant pliers! Those could take out houses!

-TR’s intro really only works in English. It doesn’t rhyme with Japanese subtitles.

-Gigachad Ash can stop an industrial-sized vacuum.

-How come Pikachu, the Swirlix, and the berries didn’t get pulverized?…

-Sore losers. Aren’t there other baking competitions in Kalos?
