Oooooh I really loved this episode! It wasn't the best of DP, but it's pretty up there for me. Heh, time for an terribly awesome list thing :'D!
-A blimp that doesn't crash and burn! Woah I loved the view of Canalave, as well as the hint to the games for Jun's character when he seemed very impatient. And Ash's casual pose looking out the window was pretty cool. XD;
- Off the blimp for three seconds and Team Rocket appears! God, even though they set up the basis of an episode, they're as common as a cave's Zubats >>. Anywayy, hated Buisel's pose when it came out of his pokeball, but lovveeed Croagunk's. I was slightly confused for a second when Piplup didn't come out of it's pokeball when Dawn threw her's, but then I remembered it's oh-so-wonderful-screentime.
- Right off the bat, I see more of those little anime-styled pose things with the huge heads and such. And woah, I got a sense of infatuation with Jun on Dawn's part. Battle? Crap, I fail to understand how all of the Pokemon can use their attacks through the net, yet it doesn't break. The explosion was pretty cool too.
-Meowth and Manene look a;ldskgjdf;h pwnsome evil. :<
-And Pochama "leads" the way. Empoleon's wings actually bend for it's body language, and I lurvee. Meanwhile, Ash and co find Muku and Glion! Haha I love the crash landing and Glion looks soooo cute crying :333.
-The bird thrown for a loop with the fake female, eyyy? Lmfao this is one of the many reasons why Mukubird is my favorite of Ash's pokemon. I was always skeptical with its gender (idk if if was previously confirmed), but it's good to know we know it for sure now.
-Pikachu and Meowth interactions were great. Facial expressions even better!
-Even though I'm going sequencially, I'll just bunch all the Croagunkness here. WOAISDJG I love it just being around everywhere on boats and such. It's such a Croagunk thing. :]]!
-Buneary gets alllll the love. I don't care about Ambipom so much, but it upsets me that Swinub seems like ... iono .. a wild Pokemon randomly chilling with the group. :/
-AHHH Jessie <3333 our lovable blue blob! I love these rare momentss!
-Pochama keeps getting its group lost, and you can noticable see Grotle's exhaustion before Happiny comes in and carries it around (which is cute btw). Even though I find Pochama a bit overbearing, I like its personality here. Seems complete.
-Team Rocket and group "standoff" looks cooler with Jun. The end.
-Meowth's depictions of cruel Jessie and James were funny. And the cleaning ad thing! AOISJGOASDIGJ I LOVED IT! Holy crap, it's great to see some hilarious Meowth fantasies. 8]]]
-Female Muku is gone and our Muku is left utterly confused. Love it.
-Random hole bothers me. How could they dig through concrete without having someone notice? And wouldn't it fall before they went to take a step? They were already over it. I guess anime =/= real life, but it still bothers me.
-Fourth movie music! And Dustox!
-Some battle love for Meowth! I don't remember anything so epic with Meowth battle wise since its battle with Persian 203598 years ago. I suppose the length between battles for Meowth explains the really long claws. o_o
-What's up with the random girl calling to the group? A great Brock love scene, followed by the perfect entrance for Croagunk. And did you hear it's uber-cackle? I fricken love Croagunk.
-And Jun leaves the group. I kind of liked his presence with the group: he made them seem complete. I'm sure he'll appear again eventually, most likely with Paul involved somehow, but I'll miss him.
Good episode. No real complaints. I'm a little sad at the lack of brown in Ash's eyes (which they do in a lot of episodes at least once or twice), and I hope they're in next episode :3333. I wish there could've been more shine on Swinub, who once again is just a mop in the closet, and Patchy, who although is with one of the more focused groups, seems to be overshadowed. Again.
I finally understand what Thriller is talking about. Everything else seemed the same until Buizel popped out of its ball to battle Team Rocket. From there, I convinced myself to always spot for any differences in the animation from now on.
