-Byron's gym looks suspiciously tall. Almost as if some sort of multi-level puzzle was inside. ...naaah.
-Oh wait, by the sound of that scream Ash really just found the portal to Hell.
-
CYRUS?!
-Oh wait, not quite. Honestly now animators, reusing MAJOR character designs? That's just sickening.
-Nobody in town can sleep, and Dawn's first impulse is to...shop. WIMMIN, EH?
-Ohshit, MOVIE CONTINIUTY! I guess this means that Whatshisface from movie 10 sold Dawn a LEGENDARY ARTIFACT and therefore BLAAARGGHJAHCKSG.
-Brock is apparently qualified to identify fake versions of legendary artifact feathers that are bafflingly referred to as if they were an entire wing.
-Have I mentioned lately how grateful I am that the writers/animators have tried to avoid having TR's motto be the same old thing over and over and over again? That got
so old back in Kanto/those island things nobody remembers/Johto.
-Apparently everyone fully recovered from the effects of sleep deprivation without even one night's sleep passing.
-Low budget version of Ash's nightmare from movie 10, ahoi! Space God dragons not included.
-AshnCo are apparently sleeping in the police station?
-Low-budget 3D models of Cyrus and the TG Commanders, along with some POKEMON CARD MERCHANDISE, ahoi! ...wait, I'm supposed to be commenting on the ep, not the commercials.
-Piplup is now able to track scents! Furthermore it cooks, cleans, freshens the air, finds your missing socks, and removes unsightly calluses from your feet, all for the low low price of $39.99 Call in the next ten minutes and we'll throw in a second Piplup ABSOLUTELY FREE!
-Oh wait, Piplup just found a Psyduck. Silly Piplup, Psyduck don't even have feathers! ...Not that Cresselia look like they have feathers either, but come on now!
-Come to think of it, why the hell would that feather still smell like Cresselia after god-knows-how-long in Dawn's pocket/bag/hat/hammerspace?
-Swinub is so excited to be used for a change. :3
-Glow all you want Cresselia, but I can't take you seriously as long as you're so high-pitched and so pink.
-Swinub is going to give itself a concussion trying to do something for a change.
-Look at Dawn's tearful concern for a Pokemon she apparently only has out of its ball when feeding it and having it track legendary Pokemon.
-Congratulations! Your Furry Brown Little Munchlax has evolved into Walking Fur Tumor!
-Wait, wasn't this episode supposed to be about Cresselia and Darkrai doing things?
-Oh wait, Cresselia's doing something now. It's...GLOWING MORE!
-And now it summoned the Darkrai of the Opera.
-TIME FOR A BATTLE THAT WILL ROCK LIGHT AND DARKNESS THEMSELVES!
-Bumping into each other four times before Cresselia glows a lot and Darkrai goes away(but not before showing off those lovely legs it has!) is rocking light and darkness themselves, right?
-I'll admit I was a tad more optimistic about the battle than most people, even though I didn't think it'd be SPECTACULAR, but...30 seconds of the episode? Really now? Even Groudon and Kyogre had more action than that.
-Final grade:
D minus. See me after class.
