An alright episode, although I was reminded of the Battling Eevee Brothers.

Nice to see more Flareon in this show.

 

[Araragi-hakase]

Eh, for as much promotion as the Eevees got, I was thinking we'd see them a lot more in this episode?

They were cute and all, but they didn't really...do much.

 

[Musashi]

The writers must really hate Leafia. We saw it for like two seconds.

To be fair, they were fighting against Ice types

 

[3Dchu]

Virgil is a really adorable cool character and Eevee was simply adorable, but the rest of the episode didn't stood out for me.

I liked the Eeveelution's screentime though.

 

[Jukain]

What was that that Eevee did to Flareon? Helping Hand?

 

[Silktree]

What was that that Eevee did to Flareon? Helping Hand?

Yes, which begs the question of how Eevee will adjust to a single battle environment.

Didn't see as many intresting moves as I would have liked, only Helping Hand and Flash were a move fresh to best wishes, if we don't get to see Trump card or Last Resort while Virgils on the scene, I'll be an unhappy bunny

Ash scanned nine Pokémon in this episode but none of them said a single word about the Mareep herd :<

Spoiler

Anyway, I personally think that everyone got equal amount of screentime, except for Leafeon. Didn't really care for it either, I just wanted to see Umbreon in action.

 

[Master Cyrus]

I would love it if Virgil used ampharos in the league. After all while he could enter with only eevees he does have a ranchful of other pokemon. Also is this the equivalent of flocessey ranch in the games?

 

[DynoStretch]

So this new guy is mature, has a cute "favorite" Pokemon, has apparently no personality quirks or flaws... and oh crap, he folds his arms firmly.

Ash is going to be SO clobbered by this guy in the league.

Haha, got that right! Always good to see a mature trainer in the anime but that only spells disaster for Ash or one of his crew that is entering the same tournament as them.

As for "cute", favorite or signature Pokemon let's go back down the playbook shall we?

-Tyson's Meowth a.k.a. Puss in Boots; final match of battle with Ash against his Pikachu and wins (barely but wins)

-Zoey's Glameow (strange how cats are a signature Pokemon right) beat Dawn in the GF and her contest debut

-Drew's Roselia; in all 4 battles that May has had against it this power flower has never lost before to her Pokemon and knocked her out of the Hoenn GF (with Flygon) and her first contest debut

-Gary's Eevee; beat Pikachu in Gary's first battle with Ash and evolved into a powerful Umberon who's only onscreen loss was to Team Galatic's Toxicroak

and the list goes on...

(In the narrator's voice); "Things aren't looking too well for our young hero from Pallet..."

Don't forget Ritchie's Pikachu!

 

[Quetsol Melt]

Did anyone notice Glaceon when Ash was scanning her on his Pokédex the dark blue tips of her legs were missing uhh goes to show how much attention to detail they pay.

... That is an incredibly minor error of the sort that is made very often in animated shows in general. I don't know why you're getting bitter about it.

 

[Paulisthebest]

Don't forget Ritchie's Pikachu!

Haha, true I didn't want to list that many Pokemon and besides I didn't put it on the list because technically speaking it did "beat" Charizard ONLY because it was disqualified for not wanting to battle and opted to sleep instead. Honestly, we all know that it was going to be beaten if Charizard had landed a single Flamethrower.

 

[Rajagopal90]

Very nice episode to be realistic. Excellent showcase of Eevee and its evolutionary partners. I liked the part where Eevee has participated and liked more in which eevee was waving its ears like wings.. very adorable love the animation. most importantly its explained why virgil had more than 6 pokes. When in his ranch he had more than 6, but when he came to dam for the rescue mission he had only 6(eevee,vaporeon,flareon,jolteon,umbreon nd glaceon).. its like when Ash is at oak's lab.. but stil questions remain on how Virgil wil manage to use his pokes in the league also the fact that Ash knows what pokes he wil try to bring in the league but on other hand virgil doesnt know more of Ash's pokes.
