Just Waiting On A Friend (234)

[The Pokemon Broadcast]

When it showed that Lokoko had no reflection, for some reason I thought she was going to turn out to be a vampire.

 

[Lorde]

Lokoko was pretty tbh; I don't blame Brock for falling in love with her. Too bad she was just an illusion created by the lonely Ninetales. I loved seeing the old mansion setting as well as Team Rocket's various antics throughout the episode. I felt really bad for Ninetales and I really wish that Brock had captured it instead of leaving it all alone.

Lokoko was pretty and I felt so incredibly sad for Ninetales and how long it had waited for its master even tho he never came back since he had died. This was probably Johto's saddest episode to me.

 

[Gillachu]

Ninetales was perfect for Brock lol. I do think he should've captured it to replace Vulpix's empty slot. Meh...

I did think that Brock catching him would've been an interesting conclusion, but at the same time I think Brock's team was kind of neglected, so Ninetales might've ended up the same way. ^^;

 

[Pokegirl Fan~]

This was a pretty interesting and creepy episode. Ninetails sure was mysterious and I liked the plot and the backstory of the episode. 10/10

 

[JudySpell]

The mansion's lonely Ninetales had such a tragic past and I thought that his flashback was one of the show's saddest moments. 6.5/10

 

[Moonstardust]

The abandoned Ninetales made me sad and I wonder why Brock didn't catch it, which was my expectation while I watched.

 

[Kdude146]

This is honestly one of the best episodes in late Johto I love the overall story. The part where Team Rocket finds out they where eating leaves was priceless.

 

[Wednesdayz]

Oh wow, this Ninetales episode was one of my favorites. The plot was cool and so different from all the other Johto fillers, it just feels like it was taken right out of Kanto. I liked Lokoko especially.

Now that I look back on this episode, I would say "mysteriously disappeared" would be 4Kids' way of saying the servants, etc. died

Yup. I reckon that everyone in the mansion passed away due to old age.

It was pleasant to see Takeshi get this episode to himself, even if the mansion's Kyuukon had created the illusion of Rokoko. I liked how Satoshi and Kasumi began feeling suspicious of Rokoko, and I didn't think that the Rocket-dan's theft attempt was needed since Kyuukon's past was more fascinating.

 

[Alloutℯ]

I'm glad Ninetales was able to go free, but I wonder exactly what it was that her trainer died of. The fact that none of the servants ever told her he was dead was odd.

 

[Leonhart]

Kyuukon's fate at the end of the episode seemed mysterious to me since we saw it depart the mansion, yet I couldn't tell if it simply left the area, or if it left the world of the living.

 

[Daizy]

Even with all the depressing emotions in the episode it kinda fell flat because the first half was so predictable. We did get some nice lore on how the old Poke Balls work though and Ninetales was mysterious.

 

[FullmetalJackie]

We don't often get episodes with such a mysterious setting but I loved the old Japanese style mansion location since it made this episode seem more refined. I really felt bad for the lonely Ninetales though since it would never be able to reunite with its dead master, so its decision to leave the mansion at the end of the episode felt really somber since it would never really get closure.

 

[Jnmisty]

Well, with this episode, Brock should have been asking his dad a lot of questions about his ancestry when he was back in Pewter City before heading to Hoenn. I mean the guy in the painting is almost a splitting image of him. Plus in some ways, Brock should have apologized to Ash and Misty about what happened. Yes he was under an illusion created by Ninetails, but he didn’t act like his normal self.

 

[Leonhart]

I never really considered if Takeshi was supposed to be related to the master of the mansion: I think I simply assumed that the two characters looked similar based on coincidence, not blood relation.

Poor Ninetales, I wonder what happened to its owner, they never really explained that.
