Besides for this episode, Shinji's doing pretty well for himself. Just to think that he was supposed to be a beginner. Not in my book he's not. I was hoping that Ash could catch up faster to his pace but that's rivalry for ya. But I was even more interested on why were they making full episodes with Shinji in them. He's constantly showing up more than 12 episodes in a row and I was wondering if Shinji should have just been apart of the main cast and stop this running around. But I guess not. Producers suck.
No they didn't :/
The rocks are planted into the ground, and whenever a new pokémon is sent into battle, the rocks levitate, glow and crash into the opponent.
Okay, like some people have already told, and I will tell it again, HYOUTA WAS NOT MAD AT SHINJI AT ALL.
I just finished watching the thing, and never I saw him mad, or heard him yelling, or just showing anger towards the young opponent.
I can see people hating Shinji because of his temper, but why putting in other character's mouths words they NEVER told?
That's what p***es me off of certain people.
Anyway, except for the sloppy animation, and the over shown 'dude and Onyx, I saw nothing terrible in this episode. Hyouta loves his fossils and this is automatic win. Zugaidos looked cool and I absolutely have no problems in seeing disadvantaged types winning. Hydro Pump often misses even in the GAMES, and probably Hyouta's Geodude had a higher level than the (I suppose) poorly trained Azumarill of Shinji. Also, if the one Elekid was using was REALLY Brick Break, I see no reason of complaining (Super Effective against Rock anyone?).

You should know that even water-type pokemon with lowest level has much bigger chances for winning against Geodude. Your water pokemon can be on level 5 or 6, and Geodude may have level 10- if the first one uses as strong attack as Hydro Pump, Geodude will lose. Hydro Pump misses sometimes, that's true, but Azumarill's attack didn't miss. Geodude blocked it =/
Gosssh!
I can't understand why on this earth so many people continuously complain about every single DP episode. So far, all of them have been pretty cool; the only thing I think it's wrong is the animation, but it's not the worst of all anime I've seen in my life, hell no! Even though it's not excellent, it's still good for me.
There're some people here that always say that the episode in question bored them, remarking that they're not gonna see the next one. But guess what? The new episode comes and here they are again, complaining like mindless children. C'mon!
What's the problem with Shinji winning another battle? And I see no problem with Elekid winning and Azumarill losing either... Hey now, it's the anime! You all know it's different from the games, thanks God! You gotta agree it needs a shine for itself, huh?
Get real, stop acting like idiots or just stop watching the anime, seriously. :S

And as I pointed out on the page before this one, it used a projectile attack on the Hydro Pump. I don't understand what the problem is. It's not like the thing screamed "RAWR! I AM GEODUDE!" and swated the attack away.
O RLY? I seriously didn't know that.
Bah, Gravy has already explained why Geodude was able to win.
After all, this is the anime where a Pikachu can take down a Regice with a Volt Tackle Attack.
Who can say that Hyouta's Geodude is not just as uber as Ash's rat? o.o

Why are you happy with this fact? I think, its a big minus of anime. It doesn't follow levels, doesn't follow pokemon-types. I don't know what is so great about it.

I liked the three small battles that Shinji had with the gym leader and that lastt one was really good.

Of course it does follow these aspects you mentioned; it just doesn't need to show every one of them. You know, everything can happen... Even in the game.
However, I still like the anime the way it is. And you got to agree with me when I say that Shinji X Hyouta was a tense battle! =P
I simply loved it, and I loved how a guest character got so much screen time too.

The more I see Shinji in action, the more I like him AND his personality. He is easily the definition of your typical competitive battler. I hope Ash at least learns SOMETHING about strategy from him.
You have to admit that it'd be really funny, though

Thank you, SPPf! :)
Because realistically, levels would not make a lick of sense outside an RPG.

I'm so glad Azumarill didnt do much in the battle. I dont like it at all....
For me, it's always a nice thing to see the "classic" rock Pokemon on the show. They are very cool and dont bother me at all.
Zugaidosu was as cool as I expected it to be. But I dont like the fact it used Flamethrower(though I do like fire attacks in general)...it gives it a dragon-like touch, which is a bit cheap IMO.

Having gotten to see the episode in action now, I'm officially in love with Hikozaru and Zugaidosu ._.; They're so CUTE! ><;; Seeing Satoshi cheer for a Gym Leader was slightly off-setting, though. Stealth Rock looks incredible. I'm gonna have to remember that one.
Poor Zugaidosu... it was like Elekid broke its leg XD. Shinji's aggression is top-notch. I like him even more now. It was a really intense battle, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Hmm..it appears Hyouta has sent out a Rock Type pokémon. Most Rock Type pokémon can learn ground type moves, and being at level 12, my Hikozaru will more than likely faint with one shake of the screen. Hikozaru's Attack Stats are quite high, however. So perhaps I can KO his Zugaidos in one hit? If not, I'm sure I'll be able to walk over to Hikozaru in the middle of the match and give him a Super Potion. Useless."
Next time on POKETTO MONSUTAA: DAIMOND AND PEARL!!!: Ash decides to level up his Naetle by battling Mukurus in the tall grass. Will Naetle grow to level 17 by the end of the episode?! Will Ash delete one move to make way for Curse?! Will he backtrack to the next town to purchase some more Pokéballs?! Will he discover that Murkrow isn't exclusive to his version?!

Stealth Rock is excellent due to the fact that its animation resembled fin funnels. Way to go, animation team.
If that was the part where it rammed into Elekid, then that was Double-Edge it was using. During that part of the match, they made a point of talking about self-damaging attacks.
