Predictable ending, Ampharos uses Thunderpunch, Team Rocket blasts off still boring as as ever. ugh.
That was the plot of the episode? So why is is learning that so why wouldn't it be predictable?
NO But i have seen the strangest blast off ever
Really? There have been some pretty unique blasts off.
It's ridiculous how predictable this episode was. And why is it that Meowth is the only one showing traces of old Meowth? Why are Jessie and James being so cold and serious even when they're blasting off and chasing Pikachu? Why couldn't the writers come up with a more original plot than rehash the old Roggenrolla plot where they captured Roggenrolla and used their power? It is also very ridiculous that Ampharos had trouble at the start with the Thunderpunch but for some reason ended up using it perfectly against the bad guys. Words of encouragement? And why in the world are JJM stuck with the same motto animation? For crying out loud, it's the third time they have used it. And it's not even that good.
Ugh. I swear, Dragonite being awesome and Snivy having an appearance are the best things, no wait, the only decent things of this episode.
Everything else just sucks.
Saying it's predictable is redundant since as I said, that was the plot.
Only Meowth? Jessie and James saving Giovanni at the end of Operation Tempest was like the old them to me, saving their boss because they care about him and that they aren't just heartless drones.
Maybe they wanted the Mareep to help power up Pikachu if they were to ever capture him, since they still want Pikachu.
It used it when it needed it, like adrenalin. You know, because if it didn't end up using it, the Mareep could have been stolen since Dragonite and Snivy didn't manage to send Woobat and Amoonguss flying. Plus Dragonite and Ellie did most of the work, it's not like there was no training until the point where it perfected it.
I liked that animation, but yeah, if they used it 3 times in a row, then I guess they should change it next time, for the sake of the people that want that.
I enjoyed that episode, it was the first episode in a while, filler or not, that I enjoyed it for what it was. Plus I liked the use of Pokemon that got to battle and I enjoyed the humour.
TR being used as plot-devices for COTD problems, just like the good ol' days of DP. Typical, predictable formula. How lovely. >_>
Hasn't that already happened in BW? I feel like it has. And as I said to Janoy
Plus Dragonite and Ellie did most of the work, it's not like there was no training until the point where it perfected it.
I'm dying to know this, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but..
Did Ash remember Woobat at all? I was really curious if he would, thanks.
Why are Team Rocket so much more obssesed with catching Pikachu? Did there boss tell them to just to get them off his back?
At least Meowth still has his personality, it seems they forgot how to write Jessie and James.
They seem to be trying to include Axew in a lot of scenes to make up for it not ever being able to battleXD
Over all, meh episode it seems.
So do Jessie and James. Just because Team Rocket are more serious, it doesn't mean they lack a personality and that they haven't been written well. It's called a change of direction.
Axew can battle, sorry about that.
Because writers are trying to go back to old TRio but are incapable of doing so.
True, Meowth was himself. Jessie and James were boring, which is odd, because by chasing Pikachu by regular basis, they should have gone back to their old selves.
Meh is an exaggeration, sadly.
What the? I'm sick of people saying this. The only way that they're going back is by using the Meowth Balloon again and that they are more interested in Pikachu. They're just mixing in that old bit with their serious nature and they were still catching Pokemon all throughout Best Wishes.
So that's why I am confused as to why people claim that they're going back to their old ways, or are at least trying to.
I'm pretty sure they tried to capture Pikachu once or twice before in Best Wishes, so that's no reason for them to go back to their old ways completely.
Well, meh is only his opinion, just like you might have your own opinion. Whether you hate it or not.
Well, Ash tends to forget Pokemon he sees at times, I wasn't sure if he'd remember as its been a while since hes seen it, thats nice to know.
I think these writers need to rewatch the older episodes a few times to remember what Jessie and James were like.
Uh what? They don't have to do anything because if they were trying to take them back to how they used to act, they would've done. Please people, stop stating that as true.
Seriously? They just wasted an Episode for this. I'd rather have Naruto Shippuuden special than the obvious same thing that the writers (and animators too) are doing now.
This series is called Episode N for the hell's sake! They waste it for such a worthless fillers, and also ruined TR in Best Wishes. I can't believe people preferred the old TR more than the serious one. Now see what you got. Pathetic fillers.
It seems like they don't even want to bother anymore, only search for a Random Pokemon, make episode centered around it, TR interrupts, Blast off, and end. I understand that this happened in Johto (because Pokemon was new back then, nobody cared so much about it like that), but now?
So far Best Wishes has accomplished ruining EVERYTHING the anime had to offer so far. Ash's Memories, Soundtarck (They're keep using the same 4 or 5 pieces EVERY SINGLE EPISODE) Rivals, League and now Evil Teams. What's next? Mewtwo's personality will turn around by 180 degrees? They better not ruin the movie, or else it will be very bad.
This sounded like a rant, but it's the honest truth. Even kids will get bored from episodes like this someday (Seeing as ratings go down already, so they have to bring back old Pokemon and characters to keep them)
Wasted? Not to me.
Yes, it is Episode N, but it doesn't mean that he should be centred around the entire arc.
Worthless? I liked it.
Team Rocket ruined? Do me a favour, look up the word fact and see how it is different from what you're saying.
Any proof to them trying to recreate the old Team Rocket? No? Okay, moving on.
Now it's a pathetic filler? Seriously, look that word up.
Yeah, same episodes, even though this plot has hardly been used in Best Wishes? Since the only one remotely similar to me is the Maractus episode.
Pokemon was new back them and nobody cared as much? Unless you watched the japanese anime when Johto was on at the time, then you can't really say that.
Best Wishes ruined anything? Stop talking like you speak for everyone.
There was a song used in that episode that I don't remember being used in a while, at least not in the last few episodes. That song Emotion, that used to be used every 3 or so episodes. How about now?
Honest truth? More like a whiny little Pokemon "fan" ranting over things he hates about the anime and treating them like everyone else agrees.
Kid bored about these episodes is not something I see happening. Someone checked recently and the ratings seem fine, well at least they seem to be in a average place when it comes to other shows.
Sheesh, I'm getting so sick to death of people shooting their mouthes off. Sure, you can have an opinion, but making it look like you're talking on behalf of everyone just seems rude and obnoxious to me.
The Foggy Floccesy Ranch! Ampharos' Light!
