I don't see what the big deal about Harley is. (Even though he has some good Pokemon later on, except for the one that makes me question "things".....) Maybe I need to see more episodes with him or something?

EDIT: Keep in mind that I may have seen his debut episode during the WB airings if you take my words the wrong way.

Harley rocks, and his episodes are some of the best May-centric episodes in Battle Frontier (really, the part we got in Advanced Battle is easily the worst part of the saga). His first appearence in the Kanto Grand Festival is unforgettable.

And no matter how many people may say it's cheap, I still love the power-up during the Gym Battle. Don't ask me why, but I do.

Harley scares me a bit, I once saw an episode from Japan where he dresses up as May, try explaing that if you will :p

He's sorta the good guy version of James. :p

LOL But isn't Harley just as evil as James?

[CyberCubed]

He's MORE evil. He does some pretty nasty stuff in the future where Ash or Drew have to come to May's aid to protect her from him.

Wow...and here I thought Harley was a good guy. Guess that's why his Cacturne looks really evil.

Episode 102/101/372: "Vanity Affair"
Original KWB Airdate: November 12th, 2005

[Dogasu]

I'm intersted to see which version of "A Cacturne for the Worse" we'll get...the international version with the skull-and-crossbones, or the Kids' WB! version with the deformed frowny face.

[Punisher]

I don't understand the height differences in this show. Ash has to have grown since he started off at age ten, so I figure he's around 5'7. Since Brock is a head taller than Ash I'd say he's near six feet. And then we see Drake, who simply towers over Brock. He's gotta be near seven feet tall. Finally, there's Max who can't be taller than three and a half feet. This makes no sense.

Regardless, this was a huge improvement over the last gym battle. It's nice seeing Ash get owned so horribly, even if I never liked the Salamence family that much. Altaria was cool though.

[LordTerminal]

Well looks like it's the international "skull & crossbones" one. Damn, must Andy Rannells use that voice of his for EVERY cocky character with a disturbing personality trait?
