Okay, I'm sorry but: WHY DIDN'T I JUST FUCKING SAY THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?! Ryu, you're an idiot... and so am I. You for not seeing and me for not saying.
I'm of course referring to Team Rocket finally winning a battle against Ash. You want to know why that scenario happened? BE-FUCKING-WEAR, that's why.
Now that the TRio are no longer blasting off, the writers can do some new things with them and that includes almost coming close to stealing Ash's Pikachu.
Because then they just write in Bewear suddenly appearing and dragging them back to its cave so that victory won't happen. So complaining was pointless.

Oh, you had to bring Bewear up...
If the sneak preview is any indication, Bewear's dub voice is cute and funny enough. But its Japanese voice...
though JP Meowth's voice is a sound so awful I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to suffer it, JP Bewear is second to that. My God, it's like the JP version is purposely trying to be as annoying and unwatchable as possible.

But that means the Japanese voice is better as the point of Kiteruguma is it's supposed to come off as scary (despite its adorable appearance).
And giving it an ear-splitting screeching voice adds to it: Satoshi wasn't just afraid of its strength, but also the fact that it was screaming at him.
That being said, I'm glad TPCI imitated the Japanese voice and didn't give Bewear like some big, dumb voice which I kind of feared they might do.

You know, when you explain this stuff to me, it really does look like you're expecting that I'll suddenly like it when I know more about it. I know what the JP version was going for with Bewear, but like nearly everything it does, it failed to do it right. JP Bewear doesn't sound scary; it sounds annoying.

New titles and summaries-
SM016: A Tiny Trio on a Big Adventure!!
SM017: Alola Detective Rotom! The Mystery of the Lost Crystal!!SM014 screenshots: filb.de/anime/sm/014 and SM015 preview video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWSLRv7XVAk Great character development for Lilie, of course it will take time for her to fully get over her fear of touching Pokémon, but this is a good start. Lilie has been looking after Shiron since it was a egg, so it makes sense she would be comfortable with holding and keeping the Alolan Rokon. Anime!Lilie is a trainer and she hasn't even left Melemele Island, while game!Lilie took the entire play-through until she decided to become one. Also I know you were all waiting for and there it is; the first bone-crushing Kiteruguma hug in the anime. I can't believe Musashi is fucking dead. |

The new episode got lucky. It was okay, although, skipping TR's scenes works wonders; by doing so, I don't think I missed anything important. Also, I like it when Mima doesn't overdramatize inconsequential stuff by placing overdramatic music over it (let's face it: he's got a terrible habit of making mountains out of molehills). Honestly, if the JP SM saga could remain this good, I'd be more willing to follow it.

You know, I was racking my brain what Shiron's English dub name should be.... and now the answer has come for me from the PocketMonsters subs.
They translated "Shiron" into "Snowball" which is the best name that the dub name can use as the egg is white and rolls around, just like a snowball.
Also it will fit with Alolan Vulpix as it's a white like snow and Snowball is a cute name that fits a cute Pokémon like it. Hopefully TPCI had the same idea.
Shiron is a combination of shiroku (white) and koronkoron (rolling around) and it fits with Alolan Rokon as it is white and the "on" can come from Rokon.

Only occasionally has Shinji Miyazaki composed truly terrible-sounding music (XY's JP version's entire run was an unfortunate case of an entire saga having a bad score). Masafumi Mima, on the other hand, is the JP version's true musical Achilles' Heel. I seriously sometimes think he's just throwing darts at a board full of track names, his choices tend to be that bad. Next to Team Rocket, I consider him to be the JP version's biggest liability. I've seen Pokenchi mentioned a few times. What exactly is it? As for this performance by Mr. Abareru, I think/hope that'll turn out well. Plus, I think we all noticed this, but they made his in-episode character look like him. |

That was a fun episode. Several great facial expressions used.
Also, I like that Team Rocket is actually developing a base. I remember that being something they tried to do in Hoenn to tie in with Ruby and Sapphire's introduction of creating secret bases, but never really had any actual progress on it given that they had to constantly follow Ash and friends across the region so any bases they did make wouldn't be used for long.

Yeah, it didn't help that Rowlett and Popplio had crash landed into it and Rowlett had gotten stuck into the ring they needed to complete what they were doing. |
