• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Decent fillerish episode, IMO more entertaining than the dreadful Quilladin ep.

This week's Poké TV featured Joys from Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh, Unova & Kalos & their respective signature Pokémon.

Also LOL @ Mega Audino only using physical attacks.

This one was an alright episode. It was exciting to see Nurse Joy Mega Evolving Audino but at least it was better than the Quilladin episode.

Definitely a better episode than last week and it was great to see Satoshi needing to be saved this time instead of the other way around :p
Though wait why was it so easy for Nurse Joy and Audino to accomplish and control Mega Evolution while Corni and her Lucario took weeks (meaning episodes :p ) to actually master it??? That was the only thing that really bothered me in this episode, the fact that Mega Evolution was suddenly so easy to achieve? I wanna bet it due to variation between trainers and Pokemon, but thoughts guys?

This show is based off on the games where we earned three badges and got a Mega Ring while our Woobat haven't reached maximum friendship yet. I'm just glad I got to see one of my favorite ORAS Megas.

Anyway, decent episode and I personally found it better than the previous one. Nurse Joy being locked out at the end by Audino was also funny too.

I get that, but I mean, then why have that whole Corni arc if Mega Evolution can actually be that easy to do ya know? :p Eh I'm nitpicking. Anyways.
Yeah, actually, all those additional scenes after the credit will be lost in the dub, I'm pretty sure.

What I don't get is why Audino still locked out Nurse Joy at the end of the episode. I thought that after mega evolving they'd become better friends

I recall it being outright stated back in that Lucario arc that how easy it is to control mega evolution varies between different individual pokemon.

It was already explained to you (and to the others not giving out this answer); the Pokémon Lucario has Aura and the power of the Mega Evolution mixed with the Aura from Korrina's Lucario was too much for it to handle and caused Lucario to lose control. Meanwhile Audino does not have Aura.

This was an unbelievably dreadful filler.

So even Nurse Joy can use mega evolutions but Ash cannot.

Its pretty logical actually, Ash could be the greatest trainer in the world and he still wouldn't be able to mega evolve his pokemon without having a keystone and mega stone (ignoring movies where this rule is sometimes ignored), and unfortunately the anime has given no explanation yet as to how a trainer goes about getting a keystone (at least we know mega stones can be found in various remote places).

Sigh, what a bad filler this was. I mean this Joy having personality was decent, and her arguments with Audino were quirky, but I don't think Mega Audino was even needed since Ash delivered the finishing blow to TR anyway.

Only saw the pics from the episode, but after seeing Mega Audino in them, I can't help but throw around the idea that the difficulty of controlling a specific Pokemon's Mega Evolution is relative the LlO.V.E they have and the love they receive. More L.O.V.E and less love makes them harder to control and vice-versa...then again, pretty much any joker in the games can use Mega Evolution so long as they have the proper stones.

...You know, considering the rarity of Key Stones and Mega Stones, I sometimes wonder if the League will have a ruling regarding them such as being banned from using them in the preliminary/3 vs. 3 rounds of the tournament. I wonder if there will eventually be an evil team out there that seeks to find a way to mass-produce Key/Mega stones to create a Mega Evolution army. Just imagine horde battles against Mega Beedrills/Sableyes with the admins getting the more respectable Mega Evolutions like Mega Houndoom.

Ash needs to borrow a keystone from someone else sometime, just to try it...
