Episode 42 - Showdown! Pokemon Gyms!

The town of Dark City has been laid to ruin by the Pokemon equivalent of a dojo rivalry. Yas and Kaz are two would-be Gyms each seeking official League sponsorship, but who can only become this town's official Pokemon Gym by first destroying the other. And so their endless battles have destroyed much of the town.

This is a really neat concept. Kaz uses Electabuzz as their signature Pokemon. So, naturally, Yas's signature is Electabuzz's version rival Magmar Scyther? Um. Okay. Scyther's Flying type means this isn't much of a rivalry. Kaz wins.

(Though, also, I hate to tell Kaz this, but Kanto already has an Electric Gym so there's zero chance they get certified. At least Yas's Bug Gym has a reason to exist.)

Kaz employs Team Rocket, but unlike the last rivalry, Ash refuses work from Yas. Both of these assholes are just profiteering gangs looking to use Pokemon to get rich.

Having learned that the color red drives both Electabuzz and Scyther into a frenzy, Ash devises a plan to troll both dojos. During a major battle between the two, he coats the two leaders in red paint, setting their own Pokemon against them.

Once the leaders have had enough and are pleading for mercy, Ash drops red paint on Scyther and Electabuzz, tricking them into knocking themselves out. However I have absolutely no idea what he thought he was accomplishing here. His actions serve to unite both games in a temporary truce until they can murder him, which is the only reasonable outcome you could have expected, honestly.

Hostilities finally end when the League's formal inspector reveals herself and rejects both Gyms for certification. Because they're assholes who destroyed their town in dojo warfare. In the end, they agree to rebuild the town and turn over new leaves so they can try again for certification, and Ash is able to leave the town secure in the knowledge that these people are in good hands now.

(I give them a week before this unravels.)

Pocket Monsters EP 105: Yuzu Gym! Type Battle - 3 vs 3!

First of all, pardon for the wonky subs, this is the first time I am trying to do this.  Merry Christmas, everyone!

I have the Amazon Prime JP account so I made my translation of Trovita Gym challenge’s episode based on that content. It includes the episode with both OP and EP, as well the “Who’s that pokemon?” segment and the next episode preview.

Download link, translation notes and comments about this particular episode below the cut:

So... I'm not really allowed to tell you where to get that specific Japanese video without having access to Amazon Japan, but if you google… idk, something like [RAW] Pokemon 7 TV series, on a website that sounds like a cat meowing… who knows what you might find there?

DOWNLOAD LINK (.ass format): https://www.dropbox.com/s/r0tsc7k504c1hol/%5BRAW%5D%20Pokemon%20-%20105%20%5B480p%5D.ass?dl=0

How to watch this: download the zip, save both the video and the .ass subtitle file in the same folder, keeping the same name in both files (for instance, ep2015.mkv and ep2015.ass), open VLC and have fun.

——————————

Translation Notes:

Kept the original names in this sub - Satoshi/Ash, Kasumi/Misty, Kenji/Tracey, Ookido/Oak, Musashi/Jessie, Kojirō/James, Nyarth/Meowth.

Rudy is named Ziggy - his sister Mahri is called Marie in the Japanese version. His home island Trovita is called Yuzu and his Shell Spike Badge is known as Triumphant Star Turban (Rinbō) Badge in Japanese.

Pikachu is Pikachu, Togepi is Togepi… Starmie is also Starmie in Japanese.

Meowth is Nyarth, Bulbasaur/Fushigidane, Squirtle/Zenigame, Charizard/Lizardon, Seel/Pawou, Staryu/Hitodeman, Electabuzz/Eleboo, Exeggcutor/Nassy. I kept the official romanization when possible.

Move game-wise, I tried to keep the ENG names, except for dengeki which can be translated as “electric shock” and apparently adapted in English as “Thunder Jolt” (it’s different from “Thunder shock”, denki shock, Pikachu’s signature move).

I don’t like translating oniichan/oneechan to “big bro/sis” but it’s kinda important aspect of Marie’s part in the episode (how much she wanted a sister, what a nice family the three of them could be together, Marie, Kasumi-oneechan and oniichan), so… yeah, I know many of you are not familiar with common Japanese/anime terms so I kept as that. At least these sound better than “older brother”/“older sister”…

Oh, Rudy’s famous lines to Ash at the end of the episode: サトシ、カスミさんを大事にしろよ。Please don’t complain about shipping goggles because “Satoshi, take good care of Kasumi-san” is the most neutral route - daiji ni suru could go either for “take care” to “treasure/cherish/regard Kasumi as someone very important”, alright.

————–

Other random notes:

Ash is such a mega brat in this episode, I love the current merry nice kid from SM/PM seasons but I miss this damn loud-mouthed version lol.

Rudy is overall much nicer than the dub version. Okay, besides the fact he pretty much called Ash an “uncultured swine” lol, he was quite polite. Compared to my impression of years ago, rewatching this episode made me feel quite bad for him and his sister? (I like the conclusion from Dengeki Pikachu manga, Rudy literally becomes an older sister for Mahri…)

Random trivia, Rudy calls himself “The South Star of Southern Cross (constellation)”. It’s only mentioned once by the end of the episode, but lol oh well.

You may say that Ash was completely oblivious to the whole proposal dilemma during the episode (he was lol) but this is one of the episodes that makes Pokeshipping canon at least by Misty’s side.

september means thinking back abt daipa and the otp(tm) again and i just think it's interesting how in the series, they made a point to show that shinji's pkmn got along with satoshi's pkmn (for ex, eleboo and pikachu seemed to start being friendly in ep69 and greeted each other in ep81, the whole shinji's dodaitosu helping satoshi's hayashigame who had just evolved in ep100). shinji and satoshi themselves got along and had civil interactions with each other's brother figures (takeshi was kinda the big bro of the group and was one of the few characters who could get through shinji in a way, he talked to him in ep100 and even before... satoshi got along really well with reiji and everything, he was so happy to see him in ep128 ;_;).

anyway, i just think it's interesting to think about bc it really shows that what was going on between my boys was really on a personal level, and it took them many eps to finally reach and acknowledge each other and have a common understanding. their pkmn could get along, they could have good interactions with people in each other's lives and all of that happened before they could settle their differences between each other specifically. really neat to think about all these details tbh

anyway i luv that the otp really is that deep and they really did that for me specifically, thank u for your work i appreciate it

Episode 58 - Burn! Cinnabar Gym!

At long last, Ash has left the Kanto mainland and is making his way to Cinnabar. And in true Ash Ketchum style, he's skipping the proper sea route and trek through Seafoam Islands, and is instead beelining it on an ocean freighter.

Too bad, Ash. No Articuno for you. (Probably for the best. When I first caught Articuno, I got very confused and thought this was the golden Legendary Pokemon that Ash had seen in the first episode. Better for Ash himself to avoid that confusion.)

Unfortunately, the discovery of a recent hot springs has ruined Cinnabar. The Pokemon Lab is closed, as is the Gym. This means Blaine has to get his quiz show kick by running an inn and asking people things in person. Tragic.

Or so it seems, at least. But this just proves to be one of the riddles disguising entry into Blaine's Gym. I guess he got tired of Pokemon trivia and decided to move up to harder fare. Probably for the best, given that those Certification Test guys have cornered the market on obscure trivia questions.

Despite Misty proving quite talented at navigating Blaine's riddles, nobody actually solves the final challenge. Togepi accidentally throws a hidden switch and everyone dumbasses themselves inside. Bit disappointing, really, but we did just establish that Ash sucks at this sort of thing.

Gym Battle begins!

This will be a 3v3 match, beginning with Squirtle vs. Ninetales. Ash has the edge in Type Advantage, but Ninetales completely dominates Ash's unevolved Starter in base stats. Blaine gets off the first move and wraps Squirtle up in a Fire Spin - Which, as we've previously established, is hideously OP in Gen 1. Squirtle can't escape a G1 binding move from a superior foe and goes down hard.

We're on badge seven now. Ash can't rely solely on the Type Chart to win his battles, and that's bad for him because he was never even any good at that anyway.

For their second match, Ash calls Charizard. Not a bad choice, in theory. With Squirtle down, Charizard's resistance to Fire and access to some reasonably strong Normal moves can help push through. But Blaine isn't interested in abiding standard Gym specialization and picks Rhydon, which gets 4x advantage on Rock moves against Charizard.

Worse, Charizard plays the disobedient Pokemon card and refuses to fight anyway. Whoops.

With his back against a wall, Ash panics and throws in Pikachu. This is an even worse choice to fight Rhydon than Charizard, but Ash gets the "My Pikachu can damage Ground Types anyways just because" card again for some reason.

For his final Pokemon, Blaine brings out the hilariously named Boober, or Magmar as we know them in the U.S.

(Huh. Version rivals Electabuzz and Magmar are known in Japan as Eleboo and Boober. I wonder if there's something to that.)

This one ends on a cliffhanger. As Blaine's ace, Magmar's able to tank through Pikachu's attacks and delivers Blaine's signature TM: Fire Blast.
