So what gym leaders did you want in the Masters 8 exactly and who that is already in the Masters 8 would you want them to replace that makes the Masters 8 objectively better and resulting in less backlash and/or wasted potential? Sitting there and calling the Masters 8 selection boring is an...

Well I guess that no matter how much the anime panders and conjures up a Masters 8 that would appeal to the widest audience, statistically speaking that means there will still be people who complain and prefer some random characters that half of us have forgotten existed or never even appeared...

That's not how this tournament works. Every time Ash beats someone who's higher ranked than him and jumps up 10 ranks, he doesn't need to fight the 10 people in between. Same with Iris. She defeated someone who was higher ranked than Ash then jumped past him. Their rankings are probably...

Damn. People complain a lot. So what did you guys actually like about this episode?

Did Pikachu just dab after putting an Electroweb on Grapploct? 10/10 It looks like the Pokemon World Championships have a rule that each trainer is only allowed one use of Gigantamax/Dynamax or Mega Evolution or Z-Moves per battle. That should really even out the playing field since Ash won't...

The music really stepped up in this episode. It feels like most of Journeys has been playing the same few tracks. When they do venture outside of them though, they go hard. They captured the sadness / denial / anger of a beloved friend or pet passing away very well.

I might be late in saying this since we're so far in this series but I actually love that this battle showed us just how much the league restricts their gym leaders by not allowing them to switch Pokemon. They need to be handicapped so then challengers for the badge have a chance. Anyone who...

The first like 70% of this fight was absolutely amazing. I could feel the tension from Ash getting overwhelmed by tactic after tactic that Volkner threw at him. The last 30% after Lucario beat Rotom Fan felt rushed though. Then when Pikachu used 10,000,000 volt thunderbolt all the way until the...

And I ask you this: why does every important battle that Ash is in have to be an even match? On the contrary and in my opinion, I think it's boring and bad writing not to shake things up a little once in a while. Maybe the point is to show us how much Ash has improved since Sinnoh by having his...

That is a horrible example. Kukui got the Guardian of Alola Z-move. He's the only character in the anime to have been shown to be able to use it. And you can't say that I'm assuming that it's a Kukui-exclusive move that anyone else who pairs with a Tapu can't use because you're assuming that...

What do you mean by Volkner "not being allowed"? It's not like Z-moves or mega evolutions are a secret. He can travel to Alola and go through the trials whenever he wants to. Anyone can. If he hypothetically doesn't have something to counter the z-move like Brock and Misty do then that's his own...

See, this doesn't make sense to me. Ash has been to all the regions. We witnessed first hand and know that he's seen more than trainers who stayed put in one place would have. Why isn't he allowed to use his experience to gain the upper hand? Why shouldn't he use something that he learned in...

I'm going to type up what I think before reading anyone else's opinion just to get my raw thoughts out there. First of all: FINALLY. It's so nice to see Goh's dream getting more complex and interesting. I think it's the right move to introduce an entire team of people with the same goal as him...

Not as trash as Ash Greninja's moveset. Though we have to realize that moves in the show don't work the same way as the games. I'm sure Dragon Dance boosts hurricane and hyper beam too out of some anime logic. At least it's not as bad as replacing Charizard's Steel Wing with Wing Attack and...

This sounds like it's going to be a classic Pokemon Journeys case of being extremely rushed because they insist on the one-shot formula and will try to cram the entire battle into half an episode so then Goh can go catch a stunfisk with a heart pattern on its butt in the next episode.

It's nice to see Ash getting a serious female rival. It looks like you can only battle people in your own class and draws don't affect ranks. That makes sense. Then there's the little hint we got towards Bea's backstory. I'm glad we're getting more lore as the series goes on.

I can't wait for Goh to meet every single XY character in mythical episodes that you've never seen so the entire series is tainted enough for you to drop it.

I was a little worried how they were going to cram so many things into just one episode, but after seeing it, I can tell that they decided to choose 3-4 things to focus on this episode and leave the rest for the future when they visit Alola again. I'm glad. That was the right choice. The part...
