Except for the narration in "Delibird's Dilemma", which I thought was too cutesy and unnecessary, I did like this two Christmas episodes. Too bad that NONE of the Christmas episodes are running in July, when at least we have the Christmas in July shopping extravaganza, but oh well. I think what made me like these Christmas episodes was that I got to see Psyduck, Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Chikorita again. I've been missing the lot of them (well, Chikorita as Bayleef too) so much since Johto ended.
At least we'll get to see Psyduck (and Geodude) again this coming weekend. I also liked the song in this episode. Both were nice specials, and at least they put me in a bit of a holiday mood. I loved seeing Wobbuffet too.
I did find it a bit odd that this special was so obviously dubbed later, since both Wobbuffet and Snorlax don't sound like they did during the Chikorita era, as compared to the direct-to-video first two Christmas specials. This had to be dubbed fairly recently at the earliest, just based on Snorlax alone.
