i did not know what the official name for a walker was until today

MARCELO AUGUSTO MABUCHI

So, basically Ash sent Cyndaquill as a cannon-fodder?

There are stupid Pokémon designs, and then there's Miltank. I'm so grossed out by those long teats

Blasphemy

Well, at least Whitney is a better character here in the anime than the crybaby she is in the games.

The train part pretty much gives even less reason for Best Wishes to be a soft reboot

158 and 159 seem like a great 45-minute double feature. Maybe a bit of trimming down the boring parts but overall seems pretty good.

Coming up on one of my favorite episodes, Air Time! Hope it goes over well!

I still think the whole "Militank" thing was do to the people writing the script not paying attention and it not being fix. It's kinda like the whole "Book of Darkness" thing in Sonic 06. Remember: Einstein said the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits. Stupidity has none, so I can buy them screwing up the line multiple times.

My guess with "Mill-li-tank" is that it was probably just someone in translation at 4kids not knowing the official translation. It wouldn't be the only time, since 4kids didn't have as much direct oversite from PMCI (Then Pokemon USA) as the later dub did, so a lot of the time pronunciation of names came down to guess work. The big one for me is Mantine, which 4kids always pronounced Man-Tine, which makes sense with the spelling of that it's pre-evolution is Mantyke, but it's actually supposed to be pronounce Man-TEEN, combination of Manta and Marine. So more recent anime episodes pronounce it like that.

I know it was for the joke's sake, but when taking a more deep look, it DOES make sense Ash didn't send Totodile to do the ditches first. Rollout gets more powerful the more it goes until a cap so Cyndaquil's role was basically as a way to tank the rollout at its peak of power. Afterall, if the Rollout was at max power when pulling the trenches it could have probably crossed them no problem with that amount of velocity, plus probably would have been harder for Pikachu to even lift. Plus it leaves Whitney from guessing the strategy until its too late for her to counter it. So cyndaquil making sure the Rollout is starting to slow down, then Totodile doing the trenches then Pikachu was actually...a surprisingly smart move from Ash here. Impressive!
