It's been two years, and this is *still* my favorite episode of Pokemon. It's mostly due to the second half, which leaves me laughing till it hurts. Seeing all the pokemon go gaga over Team Rocket, including Meowth with James and Pikachu with Jessie, is just one of the funniest scenes ever on the show. I also love Old Man Shuckle and Spoopy, they're great for laughs too.

I felt sorry for Ash getting a tummyache....

I think some Great or Ultra balls could've come in handy for catching those Ursaring and Beedrill.

i loved this episode cause all of the Shuckles fell in love with Jesse and James.it was really cute when Pikachu fell in love with Jessie and when Pikachu snapped out of it and blasted off TR i really liked that part.

[Ashy Boy]

Nice filler ep, but why wasn't the Bellsprout affected by the purple Shuckle's potion when TR drank it.

*Ash complains of a stomach ache*
Misty: "Well, Ash, you DID have four hamburgers..."
Ash: "I did not! I had five!"

XD

A nice funny episode, I like Shuckle their such an interesting Pokemon and seeing a Shiny Shuckle was even better.

The funniest part around here is that when Meowth drank the juice of a purple Shuckle, it was in love with James! In fact, the other Shuckles followed off to follow somebody who drank the juice of it. Plus, you love that part when Old Man Shuckle's Bellsprout ran fast, picking up boulders for any hiding Shuckle! Imagine when Ash is given some medicine, he found out that it has the same effect on Pokemon! Old Man Shuckle did said that it could increase strength of the attacks of a Pokemon, probably.

Pretty good episode. The best way to heal a stomach ache is some juice from a turtle shell I guess

 

[(s.i.e)]

i allways find it a strange and somehow discusting idea with those shuckles and their juice, who knows what's under that hole it could be it's pooper for christ sake0_0

 

[Littlemyuu]
