People are just upset because of the shock factor, but Mukuroh sleeping has been a gag that goes directly to his species (owls being nocturnal) and RotomDex mentions that the species stores up energy during day while being active at night. It’s more so Kuchinasu’s fault (lazy Island King, ssshh) for not checking and giving Hau false hope but then again you can’t say that doesn’t suit Kuchinasu’s characterization.
I disagree, Mukuroh and Satoshi worked for this battle and were both determined to take on Hau and even reached out to the birds to prepare. As for the costume, Pokemon always wear clothes in battle. This is no different from what we’ve seen in series before with Luchabull wearing that cape at the Kalos League or Mimirol battling in her vest at times during DP it just so happen to turn out that way. He didn’t break a rule by wearing a piece of clothing in a battle.No, I’m upset mainly because Hau was robbed lol. Look, I like Ash, and I’ll be supportive of him always, but he was nowhere near the better trainer in this battle. He literally won due to constant bending of the rules. First off, Rowlet only survived the Z-Move because it was wearing the costume which shouldn’t even have been allowed. It wasn’t even intentional, it looked just as surprised as everyone else. Then Nanu didn’t check to see if the other Pokémon was actually KO’d like literally every other ref and which they did during the entire Battle Royal.
I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Literally saying the birds taught Mukuroh Feather Dance in the sentence before and episode before completely robs your next sentence of what you’re trying to say. “Deus Ex Machina” would be if Mukuroh was entirely helpless and getting pummeled to death then suddenly evolved and OHKO Junaiper with one move, Mukuroh already had everything he needed to succeed today and it was foreshadowed and intentional and he worked for it so the battle can’t be ruled as a “Deus Ex Machina.”And finally, Ash and the birds taught Rowlet a new move mid battle which was the deciding factor that led to Hau’s defeat. If that isn’t a case of DEM I don’t know what is, and I usually never complain about DEM in this show.
Kuchinasu (lazy character) mistakes Mukuroh sleeping for being unable to battle.Plus Ash just goes “lol sorry” when the match resumes, and doesn’t even talk to Hau after they leave the stadium. Like I’ve been saying, the interactions are so bare which makes a tournament with all these characters so uninteresting. Hau SHOULD have won the battle and rightfully deserved it, but he was up against the biggest wall of Plot Armor I haven’t seen in 3 years.
Or people are just not satisfied with what was shown? If they were never satisfied, I’m sure they would have left the site awhile ago. People don’t want “boring 1:1 representation of game battles” if we’re going by the fact that most popular battles tend to have a new twist that’s not possible in the games.I can't believe people are complaining. Actually no, I can. People here are NEVER happy.
This episode was fun, unpredictable, packed with action and funny moments, interesting character dynamics such as Hala doing the right thing even if it meant making his grandson sad, new move learned...
I swear all this forum wants in terms of battles is the most boring 1:1 representation of game battles with no humor or space for unusual match ups in terms of type or Pokémon species fighting.
What are you talking about? Most people in this forum commonly praise the comical moments involving Mokuroh. That doesn't mean we can't dislike the way a rival was treated or that some of the jokes came at the expense of said character.I can't believe people are complaining. Actually no, I can. People here are NEVER happy.

Bolded for the truth +1It didn't seem bad to me...
Nanu misjudged the situation, yes, we know he's lazy and doesn't take his job seriously so it's not that big of an issue.
Hala, being the wise one, knew what was going on (after all, Hala has seen how Rowlet just falls asleep all of sudden in the past, during Ash's grand trial)

Rowlet didn’t learn Feather Dance in the prior episode, and there was no sign that it would. In fact, when we saw it trying to use it, it failed and got beat down by Toucannon. Learning a move that quickly doesn’t even make sense either compared to all the other times Rowlet trained to learn a new move.birds taught Mukuroh Feather Dance in the sentence before and episode before completely robs your next sentence of what you’re trying to say.

Yeah I thought they learnt their lesson after BW.When our own translator states this was one of the worst SM episodes... I dunno, I kinda have to side with that guy
