"Game Winning Assist!"
I thought this was an OK episode, but I didn't like this episode's dub title. When I watched the episode for the first time on kids WB, the dub title "Game winning Assist" made me think that May will take part in a Contest and win in this episode, but sadly that didn't happen. This episode didn't seem important apart from showcasing the Numel and Skitty's new move - Assist.
I liked this episode's COTD Juile, she was cute. It's funny when Brock grabbed her hands and asks her to a lunch, only to get hit by a burst of steam from Numel. Numel reminded me of Slowpoke in this episode. It's nice to see May's Skitty to learning Assist, which is a quite good move. Too bad Assist can backfire if the random move isn't effective against the opponent Pokemon as it was shown in Skitty and Furret's battle.
Team Rocket's "Numel-mecha" was weird. It annoyed me when Jessie blew a kiss after the "Numel-mecha" was unaffacted by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but it's good to see May being the heroine for a change. As usual, Team Rocket got blasted off again.
The next day, Ash and co. were about to head towards Lavaridge Town.... but Brock grabbed Julie's hand Again and tried to hit on her Again, only to get pulled away by Max Again! Geez, when will you learn Brock?
4kids sure messed up "Pokémon Trainer's Choice" this time. Seriously, how in the world did they think that the Fire/Fighting Pokémon Combuskin is the best choice for choice to battle the Psychic Pokémon Kirla? That's just dumb.
