March 10th: MPM09 - The Rocket Gang's Counterattack!

[UnovaMaster]

Did Giovanni finally get bored of sitting in a dark room all day staring at monitors while petting a Persian?

New summary:

The idea that all Giovanni needed to do was give the TRio all their Pokémon for them to actually get the job done, only for them to not have a job to go back to is hilarious.

Whenever he isn't there, he is doing all that country club stuff Meowth has talked about.

God I hope they get back to the HQ with Pikachu and it's just a complete ghost town with nobody there except a janitor

Also, the new issue of Animedia has a lengthy feature where Yuyama runs through all the episodes of the series that have aired so far, PLUS this one, offering short comments on them. Here's Yuyama's commentary on the episode:

Comment from Kunihiko Yuyama:
"I wanted to bring the Rocket Gang's Pokémon back in this episode. There's lots of things about the Rocket Gang that are shrouded in mystery, like what Musashi and the others' current standing IS, and why their Pokémon are being returned NOW... And the episode has some breakup-related drama again too (laughs). I guess this kind of slapstick and mystery is pretty inherent to the group, huh?"

The article also has a checklist of all the Pokemon appearing in each episode of the series, which once again includes this one. So here's all the Pokemon we'll get to see this Friday:

****ing yes, I knew we’d get flashbacks or something for the old crew

 

[Blood Red]

New summary:

...yeah this is definitely gonna end with them capturing Pikachu, only to find out they've been fired and are essentially jobless. Not how I wanted to see them go out, but here we are I guess.

 

[UnovaMaster]

Brock's Ludicolo is here!

End montage of TR's releases is a definite, and glad there's break-up drama

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Well, that summary pretty much killed all that sense of mystery and ambiguity about their current standing.

Not sure why Yuyama wanted to make it look like a huge mystery when the answer is rather dull and obvious, unless he has no control on summary blurbs.

Well

Well

In my defense, their names sounded way too similar.

This summary and comment wasn't meant to be seen until after the episode had aired, I think. There's a reason this is the only unaired episode they cover.

 

[UnovaMaster]

I do have some other news, it would appear Pinky and the Brain are getting some sort of movie wrap-up last scheme on March 17th

That's right, Pinky and the Brain's conquests outlast Giovanni and Team Rocket by one week

Animedia doesn’t release until Friday, yea? Since you got an early copy, is the interview a significant read or should I save my money

 

[PsychoLogical]

eh whatever, everything will probably get overshadowed by the ending and MPM10's preview lmao.

I've just skimmed it so far, but I'll post some stuff from it later, like Yuyama's episode commentary.

 

[UnovaMaster]

Ash is using only those two reserves? :/ I mean hopefully that points to a very short confrontation so we can get to the emotional crux

Also....no Bewear ;(

 

[U.N. Owen]

They finally got fired, didn't they.

One does not merely get fired from the mafia.

 

[DuquÊ?]

Burp and Cassidy quit and they're doing good. But, again, Giovanni apparently had a soft spot for them, so he's probably more lenient with productive Rocket members who decide to quit.

I mean, Beef and Cassidy were marginally better than Jessie and James, anyway.

 

[sutellakiara]

So this is how Infernape's story will end. Jobbing to TR.
Sad.
