What episodes are you looking forward to next season (U.S.)?

[wobbanut]

Regardless of whether the voice actors change or not, which episodes are you anxious to see next season? (from the dojo episode through the latest episode) Here's my list:

-- May's time travel episode
-- Mime Jr.'s debut
-- the orienteering episode
-- Brock and May's contest
-- The Pike Queen Lucy episode
-- Psychic vs. Ghost episode (D'oh! How can I forget the Wobby in love episode?)

How about you?

 

[CyberCubed]

All the Contests and Brain matches for sure.

Definitely the Pewter Gym and Team Rocket disbandment episode. Orienteering sounds good, the Bonsly capture episode, May's Eevee, etc.

Really, there is a LOT of good stuff in Battle Frontier. Even though I've seen some of them in Japanese, I can't wait for the dub. Hopefully the dub voices don't suck next season though.

 

[jolteonjak]

Pretty much every episode from Manene on...only exceptions being the Jynx episode and the Scizor episode.

Its a major shame the old cast isn't doing this season. It really is becoming the best season of the entire series.

 

[V Faction]

Can't say. I was looking forward to how 4Kids was going to handle this. The big episodes for sure.

 

[Lil Brother]

In the order that I can think of them in...

-Pewter Gym
-Ho-Oh and evil Ash
-Tucker
-All of the contests
-Anabel eps
-Ninjas
-Chimecho leaving/Manene's capture
-Deoxys (probably two-parter)

But all of season nine is great. I hope the show stays like this throughout D/P and doesn't become another boring filler fest.

And if 4Kids were dubbing this, I would be absolutely dreading it actually. But they're probably keeping the music and that's a plus. ^^

Plus, Cartoon Network shows endings, right? Maybe we could get translations of Glory Day and May's Theme? *is way too hopeful about this*

And I'm waiting to see how they'll handle openings. Hopefully they translate/don't rape Spurt. I wouldn't mind Spurt to a Pokemon Theme remix...

EDIT: Great, I'm so used to Manene's original name I forgot it had a dubbed one. :/

 

[Jo-Jo]

The ep where James gets Manene
The Brock vs. May contest
The ep where May gets her egg
The Wakana contest, of course!
The TR disbandment ep
The Kanto GF, not that it's aired in Japan yet
All the contests with Harley in them

 

[Contest Fan]

The Kanto GF, Every Contest but espeacially the May vs Jessie contest and the one where Harley beats May

 

[.Bambi.]

- Gonbe's Battle Debut! Harley and taking the Game Seriously!
- Harley and Team Rocket! The Formation of the Villanious Alliance! [for Banette, if anything]
- Manene Appears! House of Relaxation! [Chimecho...;o;]
- Grovyle VS Tropius! Grass Field Duel!! [I'm shocked no one has said that one with the Caps Lock on]
- The Breeding Center and the Pokemon Egg! [So...much...HAPPENS!]

That's it. Yep, I'm not looking forward to a Brain Battle in particular because

1) I've seen all of them in Japanese
2) Either I disliked the Brain and the episode was good, or I LOVED the Brain and the episode was crap [Azami >.>]

 

[Kabuto]

Mainly the Sceptile episodes look exciting. I also want to see the Brain battles and the Deoxys episode.

 

[S.Suikun]

- The premiere episode, because I want to see if the voices have improved or not
- Dragonair's Lake and the Battle Pike, because they're the only two eps in the season that I have not seen already in Japanese

 

[Ash6K]

The episodes I'd like to see are the episodes when Ash's Phanpy and Grovyle evolve (and episodes with Donphan vs. Seviper...then Charizard, and Sceptile vs. Deoxys then Regirock). I would like to see May's new Eevee and her contest with Brock too.

 

[The Phantom Thief]

Well, I'm mostly looking foward to The Contest and Brain eps but others include:

Pewter Gym ep
Evil Ash ep
Mime Jr capture ep
Orienteering ep
Phanpy and Grovyle evolution eps
Bonsly Capture ep
The ep where May gets Eevee
Deoxys ep

I've seen some of these in Japanese but I look foward to hearing the dubbed version of them. Hopefully the new VA's have improved by the time Season 9 comes.

 

[taitofan]

Harley's episodes, Wakana's contest, the other contests, the Brain battles, Manene's debut, possessed!Satoshi, the ninja episode, Kinya's episode, orienteering, Eevee's (egg and hatch) debuts, Roketto Dan's disbandment... And I think that's all. Oh, and the as-of-yet unaired GF. Yep.

 

[Medea]

-All Harley episodes
-All Drew episodes
-Battle Dome
-Battle Pike

 

[Ashy Boy]

Ash vs Spenser
The debut of the Pokemon Ranger
Anabel
The Battle Dome fight

 

[Comis Patronus]

None, sadly. I stopped watching the anime......

 

[The Great Butler]

The Brains, and maybe the Deoxys episode.

- Dragonair's Lake and the Battle Pike, because they're the only two eps in the season that I have not seen already in Japanese

Pike's on YouTube. I've watched it, and it's deathly boring >_>

 

[Yamato-san]

- Grovyle VS Tropius! Grass Field Duel!! [I'm shocked no one has said that one with the Caps Lock on]

I really, really hope PUSA goes with a different type of voice for Grovyle. Honestly, there is no way in hell I can picture him in this episode with the f***ed-up voice that 4kids gave him. While they're at it, I hope they give Sceptile a similarly-fitting voice.

- Dragonair's Lake and the Battle Pike, because they're the only two eps in the season that I have not seen already in Japanese

people already said what needed to be said about the Battle Pike. As for Hakuryuu's lake, it sucked. And I had my hopes up because the title featured my favorite Pokemon. T_T If only they let it play more of a role instead of appearing five seconds at the end like the Safari Zone episode... oh, and that f***ing turtle needs to die after the way it upstaged Heigani (whom the episode mostly focused on before that thing suddenly shows up and flaunts its new technique), degrading the episode worse than it already was... 'course, it needs to die for a million other reasons too, but I won't delve into them.

 

[Orion-Sama]

Only looking forward for the 3 Hinata eppies to be honest. And any other Fan Service-heavy/esque episode there might be. Because that's the only thing I look forward to in the Anime anymore.

 

[Sailor Merury]

Salon Maiden Anabel Enters!
Pokemon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis!
