To be fair, I must say that it's certainly hard for every episode to live up to our expectations after the great Iron Island adventure and last week's Deoxys episode. Nevertheless, in my opinion today's episode was quite decent, entertaining and of course cute.
Here are my favorite scenes:
- Meowth envisioning having to understudy Phione. The expression on his face was priceless. Poor Meowth ...he always comes off worst:lol:
-Yippee, finally another boss fantasy! Weird though the may sometimes be, but I missed them.
- Ash, Dawn and Brock and their Pokemon warming up...what a cute scene! Especially the Pokemon were just adorable.
They did all that stretching just for Dawn to go "now let's go shopping!"
You probably got that wrong. It was Ash who wanted to start training and he repeated this several times. I'm sure Ash was about to begin his training and therefore warmed up first, when it suddenly struck Dawn that she wanted to go shopping. I was looking forward to seeing a short training unit, but no...Girls and her incomprehensible love for shopping.
hdear: Yeah, Ash and Brock, I did understand what you felt while you were standing around in that supermarket carrying Dawn's bags. This also kinda reminded me of Jessie's dominance over James and Meowth.
- Confused Meowth. Watching him stumbling around and mumbling pointless stuff was hilarious :lol: Undoubtedly, the best scene of the entire episode!
- Phione is in love with Buneary, which, however, is in love with Pikachu, which doesn't seem to be interested in love in the least. Complicated love triangle:love:
- My ultimate theory why they had the salesman mention cell phones: Have you thought about the fact yet that if you mix the letters in
"P H I O N E", you'll get
iPhone! Do I have to say anything else? :-D Pretty good advertising if you ask me!
Also, am I really the only one who pronounced Phione correctly?
Nope. Although I'm not a native speaker of English, I inferred the right pronunciation from the spelling of the word without having heard it before.
A decent, cute episode
