Tim, instead of trying to find ways to bash the dub every single moment you can, why don't you think for a moment. Celest would make more sense because the Pokemon's English name is Celesteela. Just like how in Japanese, the Pokemon's name is Tekkaguya, so Kaguya would make sense

Oh I ain't mad about the name change. That's to be expected. I'm more mad about DuArt trying to avoid anything and everything Japanese in general like Japanese letters and whatnot.

Oh I ain't mad about the name change. That's to be expected. I'm more mad about DuArt trying to avoid anything and everything Japanese in general like Japanese letters and whatnot.

Did you honestly expect them to make it reasonable to give the fairy tale a Japanese name make it smoothly transition into "Celesteela"? I don't think so.

 

[MaahirMomtaz12]

It's spelled Celeste with an e

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

It's spelled Celeste with an e

That actually makes even more sense!

 

[BigDocFan]

Really enjoying the voice of Sophocles' father, I suspect Ryan William Downey who voiced Heliolisk voices him

 

[Jared DiCarlo]

“It looks like big bamboo!”

Those are the only words I have to describe how tired I am of the alliteration Team Rocket spews out on a weekly basis. Please, TPCi, hire a new scriptwriter!

Now that my soapbox is over, here are my thoughts. This episode was really good, and a nice showcase for Sophocles. Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld did a great job handling his emotions. Speaking of which, the dub music continues to be an issue. In scenes where Sophocles is struggling with his feelings for Celesteela, we hear the same repetitive elevator music that we’ve heard a million times by now. I haven’t seen the Japanese version of this episode, but I’m sure that they handled this much better.

*sigh* When is America going to get the next Ultra Beast arc? I can’t wait anymore!

A Celesteela debut episode?! LET'S GO!

Expected references to "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter"... Was not disappointed.

Wow! Never thought I'd live the day to see a Celesteela smile! SO CUTE!

So the group is now working together to dig out the Celesteela. That's nice. Charjabug calling out for the Grubbin was pretty smart.

Aww... Sophocles! Developing connections with a Steel/Flying bamboo-thingy!

So, Lusamine came to know about Celesteela after all. I suspect Lillie, Sophocles.

Stock footage alert.

Damn that's a destructive Pokémon, that Celesteela. Okay, I support Lillie now.

More stock footage alert.

AtTeam Rocket, Celesteela is not the Rocket Pokémon; it's the Launch Pokémon.

Ride Pokémon can be commanded moves now? Okay, well.

Okay, so is Celesteela actually from the moon or from the Ultra Crater? Or did live on the moon while in the Ultra Crater, and can go back to the Ultra Crater from the moon? Man, I'm confused!

The group waving farewell to Celesteela was pretty cute TBH.

A nice, entertaining episode. I'll give this a 9.5/10.
