Talk:EP052

This episode is NOT part of my Indigo League DVD Box Set Volume 2

What's up with that? TheBlazikenMaster 01:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I think they are following the order of many DVD/Video volumes of Pokemon, and thus might have many of these episodes being somewhat Out of Order (Which might ALSO explain why "Holiday Hi-Jynx" is being listed in part 3 of the Pokemon Season 1 boxed set despite it's status as a banned episode).

You're right, it IS on volume 3, too bad this one didn't get included for some reason.

Ok... About the trivia segment...

Should it be worth noting that the behavior of the Fiorello Fangirls caused a certain amount of anger in some people both in and out of the Pokemon fanbase? I had to ask, Since the way those girls acted was somewhat sexist and some people were offended by it (one of these people being my Mom [actually, she was the reason as to why I even know of this horrid depictions of females (AKA, the Typical Female Anime Stereotype) and also why I am working hard to abolish it (esp. in one of my groups.)], But some people at my school as well as some friends of mine, not to mention several members of my family also felt this way.), I mean, It may not be "Carole Boston Weatherford" class news, but I feel this should at least be mentioned, since it covers a similar concept. And, well, it has a LOT to do with my participation in a certain movement to bring a certain character back.

If not, well, it's your choice

PMS?

Is it worth mentioning in the trivia section that in the very first scene that Jessie appears in this episode, there is a large billboard that clearly says "PMS" on it?

I can provide a screenshot if necessary. Neniv 20:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Doll Set

Anyone have a screenshot of the doll set Misty wins? I though I might add the Pokémon that are on it too the trivia section. --Manga-in-a-bottle 09:06, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Adding to Debut

Lickitung (Jessie's; new, debut) Wasn't under debuts.

Contest Similarities

Ok, The Queen of the Princess Festival Contest, while it may not have been an actual Pokemon Contest, was at least similar to the Pokemon Contests that started in AG. I'll even list the similarities to you.

• They have a four Pokemon Limit in this contest, the EXACT same limit that a Grand Festival has.

• They had a bit of a dress up portion that all of the competitiors had to participate in (and it's implied that the finalists were decided here)

• They had the divisions table, and the only time they EVER had a divisions table present in any sort of official competition was a Pokemon Contest. On a related note, they didn't have a scoreboard for the two competitors and their pokemon had denoting how many pokemon they had left.

• They even described it in a way that was very similar to what a Pokemon Contest is. I'll even give the direct scene of occurence of the dialoge in question:

Emcee: Now will the contestants please take out their Poke Balls...

Misty: Huh? you want us to battle?

Jessie: You mean this ISN'T some sort of Beauty Contest?

Emcee: Oh no! The Winner of the Queen of the Princess Festival Contest must also be a skilled Pokemon Trainer! That description provided by Jessie and the Emcee matched the description of Pokemon Contests perfectly, which is the fact that it's a beauty contest and a battle at the same time.

• Borrowing on Bad Faith has shown that Pokemon Contest prizes aren't necessarily the Ribbons, they can also have stuff like Bananas/fruit, for example. That makes it at least similar to a unofficial Pokemon Contest.

So please, don't try to edit it out again... Weedle Mchairybug 23:44, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Speculation and original research, Sorry, no. -Sketch 14:11, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Guys, every single Trivia Section is original research, so we may have to remove the Trivia Sections in order to remove original research as well.

Heck, History of the Pokemon World is a pretty big excuse to do original research, especially with the Gen III section (They claimed that Gen I and Gen III were intermingled when the only REAL evidence that it's linked is because RSE can trade with FR/LG which is flimsy evidence at best since RSE can also link to both Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD simultaneously, despite it being impossible for that to happen seeing how they are separated for at least five years, same deal with FR/LG trading with Colosseum and XD.). The only place that should get away with Original Research is the User pages, since, you know, they aren't actual articles. Anything other than that (INCLUDING Pokeshipping and other Shipping articles) cannot exist on Bulba, so trying to claim OR as a reason to remove it is flawed.

As for speculation, see the other articles that I mentioned as well, as they are riddled with them. Weedle Mchairybug 14:21, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

You comparing this battle to a contest is an opinion. I don't see it as one. Sorry, still no. -Sketch 14:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Toungtyd Triva?

I know this is probably old news but after Lickitung beats Pikachu in Jessie's battle with Misty, Meowth says something along the lines of the following.

"They won't be able to stop you; unless Lickitung gets tounge-tied."

Now this may seem weak BUT Toungetyd was the beta name for Lickitung and obvoiusly come from the saying Tounge-Tied.

I don't know if that is triva worthy, I just thought I should bring it up.

The real EP043?

Wouldn' it make more sense to put this episode in chronological order with the other episodes other than when it aired? I think it'd make more sense if it was put inbetween EP042 and EP043 and since people may search EP052 for this episode maybe we can make a disambig. page? --Landfish7 14:27, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I too think it would make more sense but, unfortunately, the people who run the site aren't the type you can reason with. As an example, I made a change to this article stating that this episode is CLEARLY chronologically prior to Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon, since there's no sign of togepi, but my edit was reversed under the pretense that "togepi's egg MIGHT be in Brock's bag for the whole episode", ignoring the fact that all episodes, since they got the egg, clearly, show it (even when it plays no part in the episode, like Holy Matrimony. In a normal website, this would never happen, of course, but here... it's pointless. You're either on the good side of the "higher ups", and hence can force things to be your way, or you're shot down. If they remove or revert something, you might as well just leave it be, so don't expect to see any sense on this episode listing, other than the "airing dates" which vary from country to country and, pretty much, every other site already has.
