Thank you, SPPf! :)
Er...it "officially" obeyed back in DP120. However, it had been resistant to contests since then. It is now in tip-top contest shape.
It's okay. I sorta miss the bizarre electronic intrumental for the Galactic/J parts.

Yeah, ok!
Some amusing bits of the episode:
Mamoswine chasing after Pikachu/Piplup.
Dawn patting Ursaring on the back thinking it was Piloswine...and then running away screaming and covering her eyes. Makes you wonder what that Ursaring was going to do to her if Mamoswine didn't save her.
Tangrowth had a fairly decent portayal.
Filler girl was so bland it felt like she was a tree.

I miss dat bit too nd your first post on dis was hillarious lol
Hmmm iliked da episode i must say
I thought Tangrowth looked a bit bunny nd more fat than i thought it would be compared to it's sugimori artwork
Why couldn't they have given mammo a better move like blizzard,avalance,earthquake hell even powder snow or ice beam
Did anybody see the shot croagunk got on brock in the begining of the ep???? ouch lol
Maybe I've just had bad hearing for a while, and thus have been oblivious to changes but... Did they use a different instrumental against the lyrics in the opening? It sounded much more orchestrated. Was this already in effect?Note that I usually just skip past the opening.
Well at least we know Tangrowth was nice.

Reasonable episode, not bad but not great. Mamoswine learning Hidden Power was unexpected and hopefully they will reveal what type it is. I get a feeling that it will be a staple of the next contest. Tangrowth was pretty cool.

Nice episode, Not the best though, it feels kinda boring after Ash vs. Paul, but I'm not really in a position to complain.
I just have one question...Why is Ambipom still in the opening?

I was wondering if Tangrowth was using Secret Power or Mega Drain to steal the energy of POkemon and give it to itself and then giving it back to the tree?
Also, isn't Sceptile King of the Forest? or Jungle?
Good episode, none the less

I must admit though, Tangrowth looks better then I thought it would.

I suppose I'm contractually obligated to post something bullet-pointed about this ep within a week of it airing, aren't I? Internet gimmick slavery is depressing indeed.
-Mamoswine is still stubborn-ish. This somehow reminds me of...some other Pokemon...it used to squabble with Dawn a lot and it'd act all proud and it was kinda hot tempered because of that pride. I wonder what happened to it? It was a pretty interesting pokemon, but I guess advertising got in the way of personality when it came to Dawn's team.
-Remixed op. It's...uh......lazy. It's fucking lazy. The instrumental part is generic as can be, and the vocals are exactly the same as they were in the original version. On the bright side, it's no longer so catchy that watching any ep of Diamond & Pearl will have High Touch! stuck in my head for an hour.
-'Sup, incredibly generic looking COTD?
-Today's wacky boss fantasy gets an 8/10. It's no "covering Giovanni with honey so that Pokemon swarm all over him", but it's still pretty wacky.
-And the episode ends and good god I've never been less excited about an episode since the Phione thing. At least stuff like Cresselia VS Darkrai and Looker had the lingering promise of maybe being interesting. This...didn't. Why no I didn't skim over most of the ep, especially since I really didn't see anything terribly interesting aside from the boss fantasy & the offensively lazy remix of the opening during that skimming, why do you ask?

None of them went to sleep, they just got weak, which is exactly what a draining attack such as Absorb does.

not much of a good filler episode IMO. This is almost like the episode when mamoswine finally started to obey Dawn.

It's a good thing it isn't filler then. Mamoswine learning a move means it isn't filler. Strange, but true.
I finally watched parts of this episode, and finally it can be put to rest, Mamoswine does obey Dawn.....like it has since DP119.

My review of the episode:
After last week's semi-dissapointment (I liked it a bit more with a second watch), I really enjoyed what is probably pretty much a filler episode, though for much different reasons than the Rotom episode.
Opening theme: With the English version getting a decent theme, it's nice to hear a re-mix. Adding in horns, turning up the guitars. Sounds like they took the instrumental version of Together you can hear in the episode previews, cranked up the volume, added horns. Anyways, I liked it. Nice break.
I can't say the same about the ending theme though. There's only so much J-pop I can withstand. It's not BAD. It's just generic. It is better than Hikari's Theme.
Manmoo's character has evolved nicely. Instead of Satoshi's Lizardon all of a sudden change of pace, Manmoo has taken time to developed. First out of control, then just ignoring. Slowly gaining interest. Then obiedent but has no use in Contests.
And using Hidden Power is a nice touch for a contest move, since us game-mechanic nerds like myself don't think of a beast like Manmoo using wussy special attacks.
Mojumbo was great as a COTD. I was kind of hoping for a capture, but Manmoo learning HP is good enough. The ranger kind of sucked/was pointless/barely did anything.
Now, onto quotes:
First off, amazing post.
Ironically enough, most episodes can end with "And I would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids."
Well, Paul's Torterra used Earth Power in a recent episode.
While that ban may or may not still be in effect, I don't see how it would help Manmoo in a Contest.
Interesting thought. Good for a laugh.
You're free to have your opinion, but you do know a remix is, right? It's not a new version of the song. They just remix it. Emphasize some parts of the music more, de-emphasize others, maybe add in an instrumental track that was originally taken out. It's still the same song, so of course they're going to have the same vocals, run about the same time, etc...
*though I understand the confusion. Remix is often just thrown around as "Title of whatever song version 2" **
