Aww, poor Musashi. xD;; Well, he always flings himself into her arms or clings, so I guess a switch is nice for a change of pace.

The motto was also adorable! And I just realized they're in two halves of the same monsterball on that scale, d'awww. x3

Though, it reminds me of Satoshi and Shigeru (Ash and Gary)'s little broken monsterball halves from before they became trainers. ^o^;

I need to catch up, I have no idea what you're talking about regarding Kojiro and future DP episodes. xD;

EDIT: Also, cute fanart. x3

It actually makes more sense now! they're both in the halves of the Monsterball to like symbolize their bond and being on the scale and all...:crush:

Edit: Well, I'll try and catch you up... DP 135 is titled "Would you guys like to join Team Rocket!?" (previosly "Everyone participate! Pokemon Hussle!!) That's suppose to be the next Rocket Dan centric ep. since there's like this pattern, every 20 eps. or so is a Rocket ep. and in the preview info, it mentions Kojiro somewhere.... hope this helps abit(If I'm Right)! ;)

It just hit me what that scale is....

A heart scale.

Oh you clever writers/animators.

The whole reason I posted the picture in the first place was because of the heart. But it just hit me that maybe it's supposed to be a heart scale, which would be a pun on the item.

I haven't been able to re-watch the episode with any decent audio quality, so I don't know if there was some dialogue that might explain it or not.

Nice to see the scale's in balance. Usually Jessie is more dominant, but on this "love-scale" they are equal. Nice thought, right?

Well if you check out my poorly animated gif, it is swaying some. But yeah, it did seem to be balanced.

That is a nice thought. :)

And isn't it fitting that Kojiro is on the white half, while Musashi is on the red half? Not just because of the colors, but because red is the top of the Monster Ball and white is the bottom of it.

Who would've thought you could read so much into this?

That may be a hint to, but the base of the scale is also a golden Poké Ball, so it may just be a choice fitting the design. The heart however, has nothing to do with Poké Balls directly, so that is probably there for another reason...

Yeah, I know since this is Pokemon they'll want to use a Monster Ball theme for the scale. I just thought it was kinda interesting for other not necessarily shippy reasons.

Yes, that's defenetly going on the Bulbapedia page after the sub comes out. (Just in case there's some non shippy explanation)

Woohoo a fearhug! I'm so happy! <3

Again, one night away and so much stuff to read... I hate it when I can't be online when Pokémon airs in Japan. :(

Edit: And damn at DP 135! I got so excited because of the title. But anygays, a fearhug! What was happening when Musashi "hugged" Kojiro?

He/she was also the same person who gave us that shot of them in bed together in that BF episode, as well as some fearhugs in the past. He/she's been long overdue so I had a feeling we might get something last night. Next week... no.
>D Ok, Aya Matsui has suddenly gone shooting up. What's happening next week?
I'm always a pessimist when it comes to Pokemon, right now I'm just excited about the possibility of James getting more focus like he deserves. :p
This is true, but I don't want it to be some crappy remake of the orienteering. I also hope that Oohashi is able to write Musashi is bit... kindlier this time :p I just can't be bothered with horrible Musashi - I hate being pissed off at my own favourite character! Ya know, as well as diminishing Rocketshipping potential energy and all.
Ok, I figured out how to make an animated gif. I'll replace it with a higher quality one when the HD raw comes out.
RG, your GIF is animated at all for me xD It's probably just my computer though...
A heart scale.
Game item? What does it do?
I haven't been able to re-watch the episode with any decent audio quality, so I don't know if there was some dialogue that might explain it or not.
I couldn't hear it very well, but it was the 2 lines of the motto which usually start with the angels and demons bit... However the rest of the motto was varied, so who knows what they were actually saying.
Not just because of the colors, but because red is the top of the Monster Ball and white is the bottom of it.
:lol: Looooooooooooool. Gawd xD

Meron, she hugged him because Satoshi got all of his pokes to aim attacks at them - it looked scary enough!

Is it just me, or has this scale/fearhug from the got us more excited than the Pearlshippers, when the ep was essentially about Hikari cheering Satoshi up?! xD

Heart scale is collected by Move tutors who teach your Pokémon moves that they wouldn't learn otherwise or moves that they have forgotten.

A Heart Scale is the scale of a Luvdisc. It is an item that was introduced in Generation III that can be traded in to a man known as a Move relearner residing in Fallarbor Town in Hoenn and Pastoria City in Sinnoh to let a Pokémon learn a move it could have learned at a previous level. Heart Scales are abundant in both generations, being found underwater in Hoenn or held by some wild Luvdisc, or being able to be mined in Sinnoh's Underground. They are apparently one of the Underground's most common items, after the spheres, but they are also the smallest items in the Underground, making them slightly harder to find. In Platinum they can also be obtained by showing a man in the Pokémon News Press the Pokémon that he asked to see.

A Lovecus, huh? ;)

I looked the caps at Filb.de and there seemed to be some Kojiro and Nyasu vs. Musashi moments. I hate when that happens! *glares at the Rakurai episode* Atleast there is the scale and the fearhug. Fair enough.

I didn't really get what was going on in those scenes :/ It didn't help that the sound quality was so poor it difficult to distinguish anything at all. However, it didn't seem to be any real Musashi vs Kojiro/Nyasu. And she was all... cute :p It wasn't like a proper argument or disagreement *stares daggers at Rakurai ep* ¬_¬

Aaaaaaah... so Lovecus 'huh? ;-) Something tells me that the writers weren't really aiming at that, but all the same, it's a neat find!

Although my fanfiction centers around Ash and Angie, I thought I'd mention my latest story here anyway, since Team Rocket plays a rather large role in it as well, with even a fearhug! :)

So you rocketshippers may like to check it out.

The link is www.fanfiction.net/~latiosfan and then select episode 15.

(Btw, if you do go there, and you also have a soft spot for the Pokémon Latias, I can recommend reading Episode 14 parts 1 and 2 as well :shy:)

I see my dirty joke didn't go unnoticed. :-D

>D Ok, Aya Matsui has suddenly gone shooting up. What's happening next week?

Shoji Yonemura. He only gives us half way cute things on a good day. (Kojiro masaging Musashi after that one Contest)

RG, your GIF is animated at all for me xD It's probably just my computer though...

Odd. But I'm making a new one soon so it doesn't matter.

Is it just me, or has this scale/fearhug from the got us more excited than the Pearlshippers, when the ep was essentially about Hikari cheering Satoshi up?! xD

Heh, that amused me too. :) But, surprise surprise, it really wasn't Pearlshippy at all. The preview and description was once again pretty deceiving.

I looked the caps at Filb.de and there seemed to be some Kojiro and Nyasu vs. Musashi moments. I hate when that happens! *glares at the Rakurai episode* Atleast there is the scale and the fearhug. Fair enough.

Yeah, that stuff kinda evened it out. And like ii kanji said, there wasn't anything really bad. It's a shame I can't really double check, but when I was watching it live it was more on the funny side, especially at the end of the episode when they were getting on her case. (It's not as bad as it sounds. Though I'm sure PCI will change that)

Aaaaaaah... so Lovecus 'huh? ;-) Something tells me that the writers weren't really aiming at that, but all the same, it's a neat find!

Anyone have a better explanation? I'd like to live in denial before someone has proof otherwise. :p

Also, hooray for variety! This goes back to what I was saying a little while ago about stuff to make up for lack of fearhugs. It's nice after 12 years they're spicing things up a bit.

Luster's fic said:
“Why are you using Team Rocket's motto?” Ash said, very surprised.

“Well...because....we are Team Rocket!” Jeanette said out loud.
Lmao! There's something rather realistic about Ash.co's encounter with TR xD

You expected it to?! :p

Yay. -_- Well, at least Kojiro'll have some screen time in 135!
Heh, that amused me too. :) But, surprise surprise, it really wasn't Pearlshippy at all. The preview and description was once again pretty deceiving.
Hmm...I wonder why it wasn't Pearlshippy... it's not like the ship isn't practically canon already ;-) Frankly, if Pearlshippers had gotten what we'd had in this ep, it would probably be their biggest hint ever!

I guess when you put it that way... xD

Yeah. I think a combination of cute, small things like this and Kojiro's change in attitude towards the contests, coupled with BIG things like DP 55 & 117 = Rocketshipping being treated much better than in AG/Jouto at least. Let's wait and see what else the writers have in store for us.

Okay, here's a little sketch by me... in bad camera quality!
Image2-1.jpg

So I intended them to hug, but now it looks like M and K are convincing Nyasu to do some dirty work for them. And no, I can't draw Nyasu's feet right... xD

Aww, that's so cute!

My post should be longer, but I can't think of anything to add... well, it is odd no one has changed the title of DP135 yet. Maybe they're not so sure how accurate that magazine is?

Still a cute picture Meron. Not perfect, but quite good and did I mention it is cute? :lol:

Anyone spotted the fearhug in my latest fanfic yet?
