Wow, the milf actually went out of Pallet Town.
Too bad Araragi is too much of a pilf and overshadowed her a little bit.

Either way, having the milf along was quite a nice addition.

It's already out on YouTube, though in Japanese (unsubbed).

The battle was a bit disappointing. :P

A team fansubbed this one.
The battle is because Pikachu was not in his noraml state.
Araragi is a good woman. :D
(and the milf too)

Did Ash shrink and had his eye colour changed? I haven't watched the series in ages, so I was just wondering if it's just me.

It is not just you.. First thing I said when I saw him was: Damn he is short.

Fabulous was brilliant, best Pokemon episode I ever saw :D.
And what? Ash didnt catch any pokemon this ep.

After watching this I'm so excited to start with Pokabu so kawaiiiiiiii

But seriously Shooti is a dick and really annoying. I'm definitely not going to like having to see him in the series. The only rival I've enjoyed is Shigeru <3

Also......
Shooti's got cocky just because he beat Ash's Pikachu.

I think the animation is brighter than the previous series. Satoshi always had dark/black eyes. Within the first few moments of the episode I was sitting in awe at how colorful everything was.

And I love how there's only one or two episodes out and there's already hate for all the new creatures (on other sites/forums/comment sections). Jesus, people, at least give it a month when you actually SEE more of them to make proper judgment. If you truly don't like them after that then there's always that little "x" on your video player to stop watching.

I, for one, am happy that I get to see all new pokes. Brings me back to '95-'96 when I had to learn about them from scratch. Now I can live those days all over again (besides having to get up at 7am for school). Time for episode two! :D

Exactly.

I liked the first episode, even though I didn't expect that. I hope they'll keep this kind of mood in the series and not get all too bright... The animation reminds me of Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon.

I don't reall mind the fake subs, as Pokemon is quite straigh-forward; we know what's going on, the pokemon have more or less no dialouge and scenery conbined with actions are enthesised heavily. I could watch raw.

Ash seems to look younger than last time?
Conbined with the fact that I have watched this series on and off for twelve years, I think it's safe to say the 'Ash is in a coma' theory was indeed correct. That, or we're witnessing alternate scenarios like in the Japanese visual novels.

Funny, I still say to this day; everybody but Ash know's his mum and Proffessor Oak are at it. :P

The new pokemon are quite cheap looking; bland, familiar, as if production are running out of ideas.
Just the starters alone (especially that grass one?) failed, let alone those featured at the start.
Still, this won't stop me from buying the new game. :P

One thing that dissapointed me was the introduction of yet another token; aloof, arrogant, obnoxious rival.

Wow, same problem as always when starting in a new region:

- Satoshi is as childish as ever
- Pikachu gets overloaded (although it made more sense now due to Zekrom)
- Satoshi gets his ass kicked against a beginner (even though Pikachu is like lvl. 100)

Other than that, I love the new move animations and the episode in general. =)

That was fairly nice, pokemon stays true to itself doesn't try to hard to change. Its funny, maybe its better this way for some reason. But if I could change something about this ep, for one, the mystry pokemon could have just appeared and start streaming lightning and picahu would defend Ash, his mom and Oak, weaken pickachu that way, would have made more sense without putting so much emphesis on making people ponder what the legendary pokemon wanted. It was practicly a direct battle, but what for? Anyways nice new pokemon choices.

Just wondering:
Zekrom's description is much like that of Thor:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor
Araragi tell us about a legend in which figures a god who watch over people and pokemon from a enormous cloud of thunders and wields a divine judgment hammer.

Maybe Zekrom just judged that pokemon from other regions shouldn't enter Isshu region? There was 2 pokemon: Pikachu and Meouth


I'm betting that Zekrom/Reshiram/Kyurem are based on Thor/Lóki/Odin, because of their secondary types, but that may be just a feeling.

Anyway, Ash was tottaly a newbie, Pikachu should've beaten Tsutarja.
But the colors and visual effects are awesome.
Since I only saw Kanto season, and a little of Houen, it's like being back to my 10's, but with an impressive visual increase.

What pisses me off is that pikachu is like level 5 again.. ~.~

Why can't they just replace Satoshi with someone else?? :/ Not that I dislike him or anything but it would have been really refreshing for once..

I actually really enjoyed this episode and if it'll get better than I might continue to watch this season.. :)

Also, I don't like the new rival. He seems to be just plain boring.. :|

Yay, the dub started!
It was hard to watch Pikachu lose after beating a Latios just a few episodes ago.
I guess the fact that the milf and pilf were in the episode helped me along.

Wow, I haven't watched Pokemon since I was in primary school. Looks like it's still pretty much the same, except that Team Rocket/Ash got new clothes!
Watching this with sub is kinda strange, I'm used to the ger dub.

Also Ash lost vs a noob because Pikachu wasn't able to use lightning attacks? Don't lightning attacks suck anyway vs grass type Pokemon?
