    May want to explain that to me thee Plothole. Is it that fact that we skipped the episodes where they go to the Desert Resort and face the problem or something else.

    Awesome episode! It was so cool to see Pidove finally evolve into Tranquill, as well as to see the returns of Burgh and Trip.

    Well, seeing as how it's pretty much the only plothole this saga, and pretty big one at that..
    Yes, the Team Rocket/Team Plasma episodes.
    And the constant build up in this episode was such a slap in the face. ;(

    Right after this episode, there was supposed to be a two-parter involving an epic fight between Team Rocket and Team Plasma. The disaster in Japan caused the show to not air the episodes, since it would be inconsiderate to Japan(there were several explosion like scenes, windows breaking, Castelia City being destroyed basically in the preview) so they decided to cut them and "air them at a later date". It has caused a lot of confusion and left a plothole in the saga. Nobody knows when these episodes will air, we have no information right now. Rumors are that they are either editing these episodes to fit in to the show's continuity now, or editing them to get rid of some of the city being destroyed scenes, there's a lot of speculation. Anyway, basically, it looked really badass, and a lot of people were excited for it, even people who had not even watched the anime since Johto...
    You can look up a preview for it on YouTube. But yeah, it sucks, but due to the edit of this episode, it looks like they are planning on stickin these episodes later into the show.

    In the game, you don't get Pidove until after the 1st gym. Starly and the other commonNormal/Flying, you can get them early. Plus out of all the ones at the start, Pidove evolves later than Pidgey and Starly, but Tranquill evolves sooner than Pidgeotto and Staravia.

    By the sound of your post, you must think it airs next week soccer, but no, it's the gym battle with Burgh.

    Too bad we don't get Team Rocket vs Team Plasma. Again we must wait....


    Episode was decent though.

    Teh episode was pretty good and it seemed as if it would've been a nice build up to the Rocket/Plasma fight, but guess that's coming later. Though, I wished we got to see Pidove in action some more before she evolved, but with Ash's pool of Pokemon this region, I guess screentime has to be split.


    And on a slightly different note, there wasn't an edit near the end, right? Right before Prof. Juniper's helicopter left for the Desert Resort? Seemed as if they were supposed to show something else, but could've just been me.

    The dub cut out the scene of Ash, Iris, and Cilan joining Juniper on her helicopter.

    I loved the episode, even though I thought Pidove's evolving was unexpectedly early.

    This thread isn't for those two episodes. If you guys want to talk about them go to the Spoilers thread.
