Well, it's nice to see Cynthia's personality is one thing the BW series hasn't screwed around with. As obsessed as she was over the elements of Ash and Paul's rivalry, her having an invested interest in Ash & co.'s antics to a creepy degree makes perfect sense. Keeping the kiddies in her villa is just icing on the cake.
And of course, another misleading episode title! Love you, Japan. Dub, if you can't be bothered to make cheesy pun episode titles anymore, at least make a title that's a little bit more relevant to the episode.
I have to admit, though, Dawn coming all the way to Unova with the only excuse as far as we know being that she wants to sharpen up her coordinating skills is... fishy, at best. Mainly because it was established that Unova's a very lengthy trip from the past four regions, so Dawn going out of her way to make it there just for practicing (and the upcoming tournament, which I agree doesn't really fit Dawn's character or her role) just seems a little off. Not to mention there don't seem to be any Contests held in the Unova region (unless this episode said otherwise). May coming to Sinnoh in the middle of her Johto journey made sense at least because Wallace appearing is a draw and the prize she could have won would have been relevant to her goal. Not really sure what Dawn will gain other than some generic experience and seeing new Pokemon, but again, she could've gotten that just by making a more convenient trip to Kanto/Johto. Makes me suspect Dawn's lonely or something and just felt like tracking Ash down for the hell of it. Not that I oppose her coming back or anything, but if she wasn't lonely, then I just have to assume she's secretly hot enough for Elesa to be drawn to Unova, given the nature of those screencaps.
On one last note, as I expected, it both pleases me and depresses me to see Counter Shield referenced. If BW hadn't mangled Ash's character so badly this wouldn't have been a bad thing at all, but no such luck. Continuity is good, but this far into the series it just serves as a painful reminder as to how not-bad this show once was.
Tomohiro Koyama. Not one of the best ones, really.
(Honestly, these days the only ones I can recognise off the bat are Iwane, Tamagawa and Shimura and Natsume. All these new guys are kind of same-y.)
I doubt TPCI will cut it. If 4kids still dubbed the show, maybe or they might keep it and just edit out her cleavage.Kamitsure in that girl biker style outfit, that image is permanently burned into my dirty young mind. I'm almost 100% sure that's gonna get cut out in the dub.
1.Has the Pokesheik(Sheik, Sheek?, Shiek?) magazine been released yet? How is Mimoru's Pokemon Stylist celebrity stuff going? Harmione said something about wanting Mimoru to come by for a magazine shoot, so I was curious what's up with that.
I should have asked this a while ago, but what exactly was the conversation within Cynthia's Villa? I saw pictures of Dawn looking worried for some reason. Also, was the subject of Ash's travels in Sinnoh brought up? And if it was, i ask again, did they make sound like Iris and Cilan already knew about that?
