Defending the Homeland! (872)

I personally loved this episode so much. The intensity from the music, the battle between Florges and goodra, although her getting Ko'd practically in one hit was a mess, but I guess this was more like a battle to the death?

I am unsure what is really going on with these two opposing sides, but TR was annoying AF for that cheap attack on Goodra. I legit wanted TR to blast off forever if you know what I mean.

Overall, I give the episode a 9.5/10. One of the best in XY so far, minus my homie Frogadier missing and TR for being so annoying.

I honestly wonder what kind of anime people have been watching for 18 years if this episode is now considered "crap animation"

No clue honestly, it's still prettier than all of DP and AG, and prolly even some of AG's movies in all honesty.

it isnt even the ugliest XY episode, as that honor goes to the episode prior to Ash vs. korrina, or one of the fillers.

Yeah, I think some of the scenes were dope. Especially the part where Florges was staring at goodra when she jumped on top of the water and caused the splash.

Friendly reminder to not pretend we understood the dialogue if we didn't and to not complain about nonexistent plot points we're just pretending were there due to the aforementioned. Thank you.

A two-parter. An actual battle fought between two Pokemon factions. A one v one duel between the leaders.

This series has done some nice animation, especially in the gym episodes and the battles. But not using that quality for one of the hype episodes is disappointing, especially when it's obvious that the 1 v 1 duel could have been better by XY standards.

Dendene and Pancham should be drowned in a poison swamp for daring to deny our lord and savior chespin his precious nourishment. Good thing there's one right here

The Goodra bits were good, but it's heavily marred by the fact that it's just a setup for it leaving. Too bad Ash couldn't have just dumped frogadier here instead.

I liked the feel of the episode. They should have more cliffhangers.I usually groan at the sight of TR but they actually played their part well. The animation took a hit but it's to be expected at least we know it will get better unlike other longstanding amines that seem to decrease in animation quality (I'm looking at you One piece ).

So Team Rocket was behind it all....
Anyhow, decent episode. Though I didn't like how in the battle, it just stood there and spammed attacks. Needed a bit more action/movement, no?

Okay, guys I watched it with subs and it seems that Florges IS genuinely evil after all and Team Rocket were just helping it after they saw that it opposed Goodra.

Easygoing Luxray.
I know Florges is clearly trying to cure its baby with the spring, but was non-Team Rocket-near genocide a bit too much? I don't see how it'll get redeemed after doing that.

That Ice Beam was hax, and so were those murderous Solarbeam flowers on the floor. Wow.

Despite my initial doubts about this episode being mediocre, I actually ended up enjoying this one. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I loved Team Rocket here but sneak attacking Goodra was not cool.
And Florges did all this for Floetta?

This is certainly something new. The gang getting advised to stay out of pokemon affairs and to let the wildlife handle things is much different than what they usually try to do. Glad to see that the former Goomy is getting a chance to put his newfound power boost to the test for a good cause.

Well, those were some funny looking rice balls! :p

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself! I've been feeling giddy all day! :D

Anyway, when I watched this episode the first time last week I thought this was going to be the one where.... well, we all know what happens next, it doesn't need mentioning. Well, not in this thread. ;)

An unexpected two parter!

I like how we are returning to Goodra's home where it all began. It's a shame that Florges came in a spoilt it all through greed even though the spring could have been shared. I agree someone above that the battle was lacking movement but it was great that Goodra used Ice Beam as that will really help in future. I can't wait to see what happens next...

Nice episode, onto the next one!
