Old Rivals, New Tricks (591)

Yeah, ok!
Every time the camera did a close up of Mamoswine's eyes, I honestly crack up laughing.

Probably the most unintentional hilarious shot in Pokemon.

Thank you, SPPf! :)
People sure have odd definitions of "filler".

Mamoswine's whole contest resistance thing seems like a good way to bring back Zoey* into the picture before Grand Festival rolls around. Believe it or not, she's been gone 30 whole episodes, and things just don't feel the same without a character who all of us can pounce on that doesn't involve making dumb pun names using infamous dictators.

*Assuming a good way to bring back Zoey does indeed exist.

I had honestly forgotten about zoey completely, haha.

Anyways, pretty boring episode. Best part about it was Jessie's appeal. Definitely shows how much she's improving.

It would've been nice to see zoey seeing as they are close to snowpoint city, but its just further proof that dawn is a novice coordinator and has a long way to go before she will be top coordinator
 
I thought Ambipom is facing agenst Machoke. My bad! :p

I expected that Dawn would lose to Kenny. She has had a long winning streak now.
I hopes Kenny's Machoke will have som mowes no of the other Machokes has had.
That specie is SO overused (Macoke).

I think Mamswine reacted at how strong Kennys Prinplup and Machoke was if I am right? Mabye it will inspire Mamoswine to start to help Dawn ut in contests?

The only thing I didn't care for, and this goes for most of the DP Contests besides probably the Gabite and Wallace Cup, is we see the same dudes fight basically. One thing I loved about the AG Contests were each one usually debuted a pretty kick *** dude like Medicham, Dusclops, or Cacturne who really struted their stuff.

I liked this episode. I was kind of relieved that Dawn lost because now Kenny has the same amount of Ribbons as her. It seems Mamoswine is interested in contest. I hope she uses it to get her last Ribbon until the Grand Festival. Now we have been seeing more Kenny.....cool.

Oh hey, SPPf's alive enough that I can actually post my thoughts on the latest episode of Pokemon:plushies and Platinums. Even though it's a contest episode. If there's anything I have fewer comments about than generic battling, it's generic contest-ing.

-The first sight to grace these up-far-too-late eyes is...Jun! My final review score is 5/5, I definitely recommend watching this episode.
-Ash and Jun are training for the ping-pong tourny. They had better be getting a goddamn Master Ball as a prize, considering how seriously they're taking it.
-Ambipom something something and then Kenny arrives and mentions the contest and something something and some peeps talk about ping-pong and Ambipom starts something something. Oh well, I'm sure I'm just missing blatent foreshadowing about something.
-Whoa, shiny new title screen there! ...I can't really approve. It's too "HEY! WE HAVE CGI! HEY! HEEEEEY! DID WE MENTION THAT WE HAVE CGI?"
-In other news, the weather for today is clear skies with a 100% chance of basketball-sized hail.
-Mamoswine's pulling the ol' "pretend that I'm not really interested in this", I see.
-Holy mother of moly, flashbacks to when Ash had Aipom! All aboard the "foreshadowing for something or other" train!
-There are waaaay too many bright colors and lights and sounds in the contest hall for ADD Lad to pay attention to anything.
-Ah, the good ol' judge trio of "Looks-vaguely-like-Giovanni," "May or may not be toked up," and "Random Cloned Nurse." It's been so long!
-The animators must be so proud of reusing TR outfits they first drew back when Ash had just gotten to Vermillion City.
-Jessie uses the classic contest strategy of "do nothing for a while so that everyone starts paying attention to you and why you're not doig anything"
-Coupled with "force EVERYONE to start dancing". She's a shoe-in to win, I say!
-Obligatory stillshot montage of other contest entrants. You know, just to remind everyone that there are more than three people in each contest.
-Kenny shows off Machoke by...having it lift a very heavy weight with one hand. Impressive, but not exactly shiny flashy contest impressive.
-Dawn is mildly depressed for no apparent reason.
-Blah blah Jessie loses blah.
-Ambipom sure does have a lot of talents related to the upcoming piss-small ping-pong tournement. Because it's not like an an agile monkey with two arms for tails would naturally have more talent at things that involve skillfully hitting things.
-Kenny wins, the writers proceed to pretend he doesn't exist until the grand festival, the end.
-Look, Kenny's even leaving an ep before Jun! We are so not seeing him again until the GF.

An average contest ep. The only things that make it at all notable are the fact that Kenny exists and that the writers are blatently building up some drama for the ping-pong ep. That's some pretty lame things to be notable about, but DP contests are all about being sub-par.
 
Since Mewoth said that he'll get Jessy her third ribbon in the next contest,
Dawn will probably have to wait for another contest to win her last, fifth ribbon.
I can already imagine Mewoth getting beat up by one of Dawn's contest battle pokemon in the next final and win at the end with water-filled eyes and body covering scars.
Anyway, it was good episode before the main event, pokemon pingpong!

Mabye Meowth really will battle for her and win her a ribbon. But then he have to train and mabye learn some new mowes!?
He most probably arent able to do that but he have two victories aftr all.

Wonder what attacks Meowth will learn? Maybe Night Slash.

I noticed that with Kenny especially, only his Prinplup is really getting screentime.

We hardly see anything of Alakazam, Breloom or Machoke. I honestly forgot he had Alakazam too.

Omg! could you imagine if Meowth beat....Mamoswine? lol.

haha, i think i would actually start pissing myself laughing. and the fandom would be in an amusing uproar i expect. xD skills for meowth though if that DOES happen, i mean, how many battles has it ever won?
