XD at TR's movie motto.
Well, more focus was put into introducing us to the upcoming arc than actually working on the episode, but nonetheless, it was a fair episode.
Mantine's voice was bizarre, to put it mildly. Sounded like some dying old man IMO ._. Better voice for such a cool Pokémon kthnx
Symbiosis. Ooh, big word

. Seriously, though, I like that they used the word, good way of introducing kids to the concept ;D. Wish they touched on it more frequently, though. And call me dense, but I didn't really understand why Mantine was protecting the Remoraid until they pointed it out to me ;-;
Wow, the Magikarp sub actually blew up. That's a first o_o Usually they blast off with it intact.
James and Meowth had a good idea about quitting while they were ahead, IMO. If Jessie had listened, they'd've succeeded for once. Oh well, that's why I don't gamble

.
Overall rating:
7.4 out of 10
Standard Johto filler(unless the Silver Wing makes it not a filler >_>). For a Mantine-based episode, I expected more....
