Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port (648)

[Lorde]

I really disliked Jasmine's new voice in the dub; TPCi could've at least hired a better VA in my opinion. Anyway, I laughed when Team Rocket arrived and snatched Kenny's Floatzel, only for Flint's Infernape to blast them off a second latter. I may have not liked Kenny either, but I got a bit teary-eyed when he was on the ship and he read Dawn's letter.

Kenny and Dawn had a moment here where I thought Penguinshipping was going to become canon. Jasmine having a different voice actress made me disappointed. 7/10

 

[Gillachu]

Lol, so PenguinShipping is now confirmed? Kenny and Dawn seemed awfully friendly with each other here.

I was happy to see Jasmine from Olivine and even tho she lost to Flint, at least she battled and got more than just a cameo. I liked Flint's flashback as well and Kenny's goodbye scene seemed sweet.

 

[Leonhart]

Okay, now this was a great episode. The semi-romantic angst between Kengo and Hikari was enchanting, and even Mikan versus Ohba added action to the plot. Nagisa City definitely needed this episode as a nice conclusion to its story-arc.

 

[Wednesdayz]

So Ash lost to Kenny. How embarrassing lol. But yeah, this episode was pretty boring: they should have at least let Ash's Buizel win the match, the thing's pretty much a punching bag now. :/

What's the first thing Ash tried once he heard about Flint's battle strategy? He tried it out himself at the first opportunity. What a copycat.

Really liked how the episode focused on a lot of things rather than just a single plot to the point of dragging it out/possibly making the episode boring. Oh, and the lighthouse scene at the end was just adorable.

 

[DarkLeviathan]

So Ash lost to Kenny and Buizel had to be the fall guy here, which was a disgrace to his track record.

 

[Shayuin]

I found it comedic that Dawn noted Kenny to look handsome after his win against Ash. I found it pretty selfish of him to want Dawn to travel with him after beating Ash though.

The word “handsome” was only used in the Dub - she only said Kenny looked kinda cool. She could’ve traveled with Kenny if she liked him, but she didn’t - she prefers Ash.

Satoshi being inspired by Ohba's battling style in this episode wasn't necessarily a bad thing, however. If anything, Satoshi was smart to take advantage of the occasion since both he and Ohba owned a Goukazaru. So I commend Satoshi's practicality.

What a cute episode! Lots of Dawn x Kenny action going on. Her letter to Kenny was so adorable - I loved it when she called him handsome ^^! Nice to see Jasmine again, I really enjoyed her Johto arc - weird to see her all these years later. It was also nice to see Kenny actually get a win in - he's not had much luck throughout Sinnoh. Off to the Sinnoh League now!

Wow, everyone was going on about how Kenny deserved a better performance at the Grand Festival, or that he was an unlikeable loser...then he shows up and ends up thrashing Ash lmao. Ah well, happy to see the kid get a nice send-off after that anti-climatic performance at the Grand Festival, and I'm also happy to see Dawn assert her independence.

I loved seeing Jasmine! I was really disappointed how she got utterly destroyed by Flint though. Ah well, she still did slightly better than Ash even with a disadvantage lol.

Flint gave some of the worst, most useless advice ever.

 

[Leonhart]

Looking back, I kind of feel bad for Mikan since she was facing Ohba, who not only specialized in Fire-types, but who also out-ranked Mikan. Mikan's Haganeil stood no chance.

 

[Daizy]

I am curious as to why the instant Ash saw Kenny training, he wanted to train also and just happened to pull out his Buizel. I liked how Ash didn't really give a damn that he lost.

 

[DawnKenny]

In my opinion it was my favorite episode in the anime, the episode had good plot and story, finnaly when ash and keeny battled, ash lost..... that is easy because buizel wasn't strong enough and the episode was having a very good story, in a way it was a very sweet episode and it was not only showing Kenny's feelings but also dawns character how caring she is, I don't have anything else to say but the episode was an awesome episode

 

[Mr.Munchlax]

that is easy because buizel wasn't strong enough and the episode was having a very good story

Well, that and the fact that Ash was trying too hard to copy Flint during their battle

Its true but don't you think buizel wasn't strong enough....??

 

[Mr.Munchlax]

Its true but don't you think buizel wasn't strong enough....??

No, Empoleon was most likely stronger, but if Ash wasn’t copying Flint he might have figured out a way for Buizel to use Empoleon’s strength & size against it
