DP005 Title

[Quagbert]

Pokeani just revealed the title of the fifth episode of Diamond & Pearl:

[bp=DP005]DP005 (EP473?): ナエトル！ゲットだぜ！Get Naetle![/bp]

This episode will air on October 19, due to baseball coverage on October 12.

 

[Kasumi]

Well, it's official. Ash gets the Koopa wannabe.

 

[Cybersai]

So if Ash doesn't get his third Pokemon till D/P #5, then how does he have a 3 on 3 with a rival in D/P #3?

Bringing back an old Pokemon would be kind of pointless since he just dumped them all. And we know Hikari doesn't have her first battle till the ep after.

 

[Fig]

It's worth pointing out at this point that most 2 on 2 battles in RSE (the games) involved opposing trainers who were actually two trainers.

Could simply be that more than one trainers are involved on one or more side.

 

[Kasumi]

Or Hikari, Ash and Brock vs Nugai and another 2 trainers.

 

[Habunake]

The 3 on 3 I think means three trainers....

Anyway...this is like the Snorunt episode, short and too the point...didn't Ash get Treecko in AG 5?

 

[Ashfangirl17]

Ok so the rival episode will possibly be Ash/Brock V.S two other people. Or maybe Ash borrows one Pokemon from Brock and uses Aipmon and Pikachu V.S the new rival. Becuase we know Hikari def won't be battling in that one do to the next episode after that. So that rival either way is going to be Ash. Any ways I can't wait to see it, I love seeing Ash catch Pokemon ^_^

 

[Kasumi]

No Ash got Taillow before getting Treeko.

 

[Habunake]

I wonder what Naetle will be like?

Tough, Responsible- Bulbasaur.
Latino Bitch- Bayleaf
One Bad Mofo- Sceptile

So/ what will Naetle be?

EDIT: Ah yes, Taillow in AG 4(when Brock comes back) and Treecko in AG 6...

Watch as Brock protects them with Forretress from some Mukkuru, which Ash catces.

 

[Kasumi]

A nerd.

 

[Habunake]

A Ninja Naetle would be awesome...XD

 

[Ashfangirl17]

When do these new D/P episodes begin to air? I forgot =/

 

[Kasumi]

^ Sept 28th. Also read the first post. It says the airing date in there.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Naetle FTW!

 

[The Dude]

Angry, violent Naetle. Demands the blood of its enemies, and usually gets it.
I say they model Naetle off Dirty Harry.

 

[Snake Bandage]

Okay, now I'm totally calling my own Naetle Donatello when D/P comes out.

You know, I'm really not surprised. Ash has shown a preference for the grass Starters, anyway. I mean, who was the Starter he wanted initially before getting Pikachu? Bulbasaur. And which Johto Starter of his evolved? Chikorita, of course. I guess it kind of makes sense for him to want the grass Starters, anyway, since they're always the first in their regions' Pokedexes (Bulbasaur is 001, Chikorita is 152, Treecko is 252, and you can bet that Naetle is 387).

 

[Cybersai]

It's not so much that Ash wants Grass starters, it's just that the writers dump it on him.

I find it quite boring that they never attempt to shake up his team. I guess we're looking at another grass/fire/water/flying team AGAIN for the fourth time.

I'd like that not to be the case, but we all know it will happen.

Uh... yeah. I know. That's the logical solution, don't think I've never thought of that. But I think it adds more to the characters if you think what makes them do things in an in-series level rather than dumping it all on the writers. Hey, you can even explain English Dub!James' fake accent by looking at canon facts.

The writers should try this:

Electric, Steel, Bug, Dragon, Psychic, Flying

Now that would REALLy be an unusual team for Ash.

I don't see the problem you have with that team dynamic. It's highly versatile and makes up the backbone of my teams (and probably most people's traveling teams). And you're acting like they couldn't work on the second types. I mean, they could have Ash catch something other than Normal/Flying. And it he hasn't had a dual type water since Lapras.

 

[Cybersai]

I don't see what problem you see with that team dynamic.

Its been 10 years.

I fail to see how Razor Leaf is interesting anymore.
