Spheal Of Approval! (312)

"Anyone who gets in our way will be... eliminated."

Thus declared Team Magma's Field Commander Harlan as Ash, Max, Marius, and Captain Stern made their stand against him just as he and his grunts were about to head out with that volcanic stone. Yes, Team Rocket wanted that stone for themselves, but Harlan's Mightyena's Iron Tail sent them flying. I had to chuckle during that brain freeze Ash, Max, and Marius earlier, but even though Team Magma made off with half of the broke stone, Captain Stern was able to retain the other half for his research. This I considered a compelling episode to remember in Hoenn.

I believe I can fly.
It was a nice filler of sorts and I liked the 'brainfreeze' scene. Magma made a great impact but the kid with the Spheal looked a lot younger than Ash did when he was ten.

Spheal was very cute, i loved it.
Team Magma were very mean with captain Stern, but at least he's got some of the meteorite.

Aw, Spheal and Sealeo's debut.

I like the plot, mainly because Team Magma appeared and their actions set things in the 6th movie in motion.

A decent 8/10

This was a pretty 'Meh' episode for me. Outside of Capt. Sterns debut and the battle with TM, nothing too exciting really happened. I didn't like this one much...

I was pretty sad when Mightyena has stole the rock, eventually, and only a small piece of it stayed with the captain. Speal didn't show his power, but at least we have seen it surfing. It's better than nothing. :)

This episode was ok... It was cool seeing a Spheal and Sealeo for the 1st time. Spheal is really cute! It was cool seeing Team Magma again. It was cool to see Max and Ash having the focus together in this episode. The rock was really cool to see.

30/100

This episode was cool. It was awesome seeing Spheal and Sealeo for the first time. Spheal is cute! It's one of my favourite Water Types. Cool to see Team Magma again. The Rock was cool.

Trolls aren't funny!
Max: Spheal is weak to electric types.
Me: Yeah he maybe have no knowlegde skills but he still has more pokemon than you have.

This episode was cool. Team Manga made their debute again and actually got away with something of interest. I don't know about anyone else but I'm tired of seeing Corphish used for everything. I'm surprised it hadn't evolved with how much he was using him.

Spheal was the only thing in this episode that was enjoyable to watch. Seriously, it would improve any episode hundreds of times if it were to appear in any episode. Team Magma wasn't really interesting in this episode. Then again, they're really only interesting when they clash with Team Aqua anyway.

It was pretty awesome to see Team Magma again versus Ash and the Captain. Just the whole mystery behind it all made it the more interesting. I also thought the brain-freeze thing was hilarious too and Spheal and it's unreliable behavior.
 
This was another one I remember watching years ago.
Didn't have an opinion on it really at the time.

Now? Spheal was cute, I guess.
Cool to see Team Magma again causing more trouble.

It was refreshing to see Ash and Max hanging out together, and Capt. Stern looked so much different than in the games; he was dreamy here.~ Anyway, Team Magma's scheme was interesting although I really wanted Tabitha to have an intense one-on-one match with Ash. Oh well. Team Rocket's shaved ice plan made me cackle though. It was so random.

I was glad to see Team magma again.It was cool to see Ash spending time with Max and May shopping with Brock.TR's scheme was funny. 7/10.

The episode kind of foreshadowed the Jirachi movie but I didn't like how Team Magma was portrayed as petty thieves. 6/10

Marcus' Spheal was so adorable ha ha and Captain Stern looked different than what I had expected. I liked seeing Tabitha again as well as the snow cone scene where the boys were just chilling and eating. :D
 
My favorite parts were when Ash, Max, and Marcus were hanging out eating snow cones and acting like kids. I just wish May and Brock got more involved. :(

To further my Max needs a Pokemon, that young boy had a Sphael! Also, there were those young kids in the Pokemon school that had their own Pokemon. Max deserves one too xD

I liked this episode. I was annoyed that Magma managed to get away with stealing the stone. It was nice for Spheal and Sealeo to be introduced. Sphael was uber cute.

I think TR's pokemon are way too weak, surely they could have put up more of a fight? Also, why do they seem to have forgotten about Counter?
