All Torkoal, No Play! (334)

[Gillachu]

I was glad that Ash caught Torkoal as his fifth pokemon in the end.

Lol, well I wasn't. We had just seen Flannery use one anyway so Ash didn't need to showcase a Torkoal too...

The valley of steel was a fascinating place & as a Steelix fan I was glad that one was here as the villain who kept attacking Torkoal. 7/10

But still Ash needed a Gen 3 fire type pokemon in Hoenn and there were limited choices. Him catching Torkoal at least added a new pokemon with a funny personality to his team. ^^

The valley of steel was a cool place, but I wish we could've seen Gen 3 Steel Pokemon instead of just a bunch of old ones.

Well several of the Hoenn steel types like Mawile, Lairon and Beldum were being saved for their own exclusive debut episodes, so I guess the writing staff had their hands tied here. ^^;

Ew, those Magnamite and Skarmory must've really hated Torkoal to beat it like that. Torkoal's voice bothered me since he sounded...slow. I also wondered, where was Aron, Lairon, Aggron, and Mawile?

 

[Zamin]

I am so glad that Ash kept the Torkoal. I thought that they would do the typical thing where Ash finds a great Pokemon but leaves it in the wild, I am glad that he kept this one with him.

It was a really good episode. I am glad that Torkoal won the battle in the end, Ash fought well with him.

I was taken aback that this episode focused on Cotoise right after watching Asuna's Cotoise two episodes prior to this one. I felt sympathetic to the wild Cotoise's plight though since the valley's Steel-types were extremely aggressive towards him. I'm glad that Satoshi helped Cotoise scare away Haganeil and the others.

I didn't get why Torkoal was so hated by the Steel Pokemon since he seemed harmless enough. I liked how Ash showed him so much compassion.

 

[Daizy]

So here we saw the gang lost in a valley and they stopped to rescue Torkoal from a group of Steel Pokemon. Ash and the gang had to get to the bottom of the problem which was predictable.

 

[Leonhart]

I now wonder why Cotoise was being bullied so much here since he seemed meek and gentle. I felt bad for him since he seemed too weak to fight off the Steel Pokemon by himself.

 

[Scorbunnie]

That Skarmory who kept assaulting Torkoal was like the Fearow from Kanto that keep harassing the Pidgey and Pidgeotto in the Viridian Forest.

I thought Torkoal being scared of the Steel Pokemon made no sense because he was stronger than them with his Fire attacks.

 

[Leonhart]

I thought Torkoal being scared of the Steel Pokemon made no sense because he was stronger than them with his Fire attacks.

I think it was based on Cotoise's personality since we saw how much he cried, which leads me to believe that he just didn't like to fight back against those Steel-types or any Pokemon in general if he could avoid it.
