Didn't like:
-Ash is using again a power failure to win a battle
-Torterra didn't show at the end
-Infernape beat Luxray, too bad Pikachu didn't
-I think the Blaze issue should've ended in this episode, but I'm not so sure if it will return
-Where's Raichu?
Responses to bold:
1.) *sarcastically* Gee, I wonder where we've seen that before?
2.) Yeah, I kind of expected him to use his Raichu as well.
one month. wasn't it what flint/volkner said to ash at the end of the last episode?
If there is anything Ash should learn from this battle, it's Torterra needs a good ground type move. I am not too sure, but it seems to me that 'rock-climb' is being used as a ground type move in the anime.........anyone else gets that feeling?
I kind of got an idea that they could make Rock Climb a ground-type move in a future Pokemon game.
Infernape has finally control his Blaze ability, which led to Ash's victory. I was happy that Volkner was using his Platinum team because it's really awkward to see him use an Octillery. One thing I'm disappointed is the lack of Volkner's Raichu, just whatever happened him? I guess the writers were aware of his tier position in competitive play.
Say what?
In Diamond/Pearl Volkner has an Octillery on his team? But Octillery's a water type isn't it?
For some reason, Flint likes to talk with his mouth closed. It’s weird; Is he just mumbling, or doing some Japanese thing I know nothing about? I must say though, I love the robot’s voice; robotic, but dignified.
Yeah, what was up with that?
That scene in which the lights went out and Infernape's eyes started glowing red and it turned into a flaming inferno so that you could have gotten the impression that it was a frightening creature from hell itself, that scene was E.P.I.C
But that's not all: INFERNape was then walking towards Ash in a way that sure made me worry about our trainer from Pallet Town and while it was fighting against Luxray, it had one of the most frightening but at the same time most epic and impressive voices in the whole Pokemon Anime!
I agree! that scene was epic and scary!
As soon as I saw Infernape's glowing red eyes I was like O___O!
His voice in that state was just freaky beyond belief!
I was pretty sure Ash was was done for when Infernape as walking toward him like that!
Awesome to see that Infernape FINALLY has his blaze ability under control. Look out Paul, there's one bad*** demon-spawn monkey heading your way! Watch out!
Onwards to the Sinnoh League!
