You know, I came into this episode solely looking forward to the random psyduck cameo.
I ended up enjoying this episode even more than last week's claydol episode, which scored a 9.5 from me. It was also the first episode since "Dues and Don'ts" that I watched twice in one day because I really enjoyed it.
HIGHLIGHTS:
-- Wobbuffet and Lombre's comedy routine.
That was too funny for words. At least unlike the Wobbuffet/sudowoodo scene in "Type Casting", I didn't have to know what their Japanese names meant for it to be funny. I liked James "Stand-up?!" reaction afterward too.
-- "I always wanted a green mawile with a pan on its head." ROFLOL
-- The anti- Boss fantasy. About dang time.
-- Dustox!!! We see it so rarely.
At least its appearance and Wobbuffet's comedy schtick made up for the lack of Chimie.
-- Lombre's total cluelessness. Reminds me of those Dumb Ash moments I miss so much.
I loved Brock's frustration too.
-- GREAT showcase for Brock.
-- Great Corphish outing too. He's still my favorite of Ash's Hoenn pokemon. I really felt for him when he started crying before Brock came to console him.
-- I LOVED the Brock/Corphish/Torkoal group cry. LOL Of course, Torkoal joining in was what made it funny.
-- Ludicolo's mouth hanging open in shock was LOL hilarious.
LOWLIGHTS:
-- Mawile. Sorry, I just don't like 'em. At least otherwise the story was great.
-- What, no "Takeshi in Paradise" singing this time? I really wanted to see Brock and Corphish shakin' their groove thang, considering they really got to bond a bit in this episode.
Overall, 10/10, one of the best episodes this season for sure. I'm glad we had two great episodes two weeks in a row.
