This episode was kind of cute, I guess.
I haven't seen the PMC at all yet, so this was my introduction(and rightfully so, since this IS the first episode they're in). They have a lot of cool machines, but they re-used the same building animation every time.
Phanpy and Cleffa's relationship was really touching. Not to mention Phanpy actually had a big role, which is cool IMO.
This beats the old episode by a lot, IMO. It was rather dull and totally out there. At least now they made it make some sense with the 'problems operating it' thing. They're little
Clefairies, they shouldn't be able to operate it.
Anyone find it ironic that Cleffa evolved during one of the saddest moments of its life? I mean, it's supposed to evolve because of happiness, but it evolved right when its heart was torn in two
Brock had a nice explanation of its evolution though, and it did make sense. It was just the timing that seemed strange
.
At some points in this episode, Phanpy sounded just like Cleffa o_0
Phanpy's determination to get Cleffa back where it belonged was sweet. It could've been killed a number of times, but it kept going anyway.
Heh, the PMC and TR sniping at each other was golden
.
Overall rating:
8.3 out of 10
Nice episode. Cool for a Johto Filler, mainly because of abundant Cleffa and Phanpy scenes.
