Preview BW078: Hachiku Appears! The Holy Mountain of Ulgamoth!!

[Almonds]

YAY!!! It's BRYCEN!!!

 

[Adil]

Spoiler

Why does this episode numbered as 77回??? O_O

I noticed it earlier, looks like a typo.

Btw, get ready for some "movie sommelier" action.

It turns out the two are big stars of the movie world, having starred in the famous "Ice Trilogy". Nowadays they've retired from movies and secluded themselves in the mountains, though the Movie Sommelier Dent gets really excited at getting to see their training site as well.

Spoiler

IT'S MOVIE TIME!

 

[Garren]

I really, really, really hope the "ICE TRILOGY" is a buddy-cop movie starring Brycen and Beartic.

With Beartic driving a cop car or something.

 

[Spindae2]

after the preview I'm looking even more forward to this ep! Some nce battles up front! Got a feeling Krokorok will learn some move so he can come even close to beating Beartic!
Jellicent looked great as well!

Preview looked awesome because this episode will have the best animation director there is. Problem is that the subsequent gym battle will be mediocre at best since the best animation is already used up for this episode. Not really digging this formula.

 

[Eitarou]

Is it just me, or does Rinzo's bike look suspiciously like Genesect?

[Force Fire]

Hunter with a gun...

It's nothing we haven't seen before.

And the bike sorta does look like genesect

 

[Cybersai]

This episode sure looks a hell of a lot better than it sounded originally. Quite interesting.

That's funny because personally I feel the exact opposite xD I'm hoping the preview hasn't done the episode justice because I'm a little less excited after seeing it. The "guy/Pokémon smashes a rock" thing is really overdone, and the Pokémon attacking is just a bit same-old in my opinion.

 

[투 애니원]

What bike are you guys referring to? I don't see any bike :S

Anyway, the animation is probably really good to hide the fact that the episode sucks.

I think they're referring to that motorcycle.

Waruvile still looks awesome. I'm really glad he's getting some much deserved screen time and training. Gawd, I really hope he doesn't evolve during the Gym Battle against Tsunbear. Tsunbear can use Brine, ha. That's pretty neat since BW seems to have the whole "If your that type you have mostly moves of that type + Normal Move" syndrome. Satoshi looks pretty funny, falling like that and trying to play off that embarrassing scene. Double Burungeru are really blasting Waruvile. A double Hydro Pump. Ice Punch looks awesome :X But at least Waruvile is hurting the male Burungeru.

Hachiku might be the most entertaining gym leader we've gotten so far in BW. Kamitsure got two episodes of screen time, some sweet characterization, and was overall very entertaining. I hope to see the same for Hachiku, we haven't really gotten that that much for a lot of BW leaders.

 

[Hellwarden]

I think the dub episode of this will be fine, considering they showed J's lazer gun, and Meowth's Bazooka back in Diamond and Pearl.

Anyway, nice to see Brycen getting some characterization. Let's be honest, he wasn't exactly the most.....interesting character in the game. It'll be nice to see him flushed out.

 

[Grave-E]

It probably only shoots a net or something anyway. Besides, not like there's much point in a gun when you've got 2 ghost jellyfish around.

Oh, so he's a movie star here, too?

Guess they're removing the "former" part?

 

[Hitomi]

So he's no longer the actor formerly known as Hachiku?

/lame joke

Which is a real shame because IMO the gym leaders of Unova were mostly full of personality in the games (Aloe, Arti, Kamitsure, Yacon). Even Hachiku's contemplative silence in the games endeared him to me.

 

[Ishida]

Wow.. this would have been a better two parter than that god awful Carracosta and Tirtouga one.
