Not an essay time:
I'm sorry, did Go acquire that shiny Voltorb in the first [PIANO KEY] minute of the episode? Sure, completely effortless and totally won't get glossed over... owait. At least Ash worked for his shiny, and had competition for it to boot. Anywho, other than that the cast did naff all, heck even Wobbuffet noped his way out of the episode because of the Pokemaniac's antics, HOWEVER there was one positive I could give the two blokes, and that was the fact that we didn't have to deal with that bloody gacha. And whilst I'm on the TR tangent, them saying without Wobbuffet, the motto just fizzles out really says something, and now it's my headcanon that one reason for their reduced presence in Best Wishes can be attributed to their motto being less impactful as a result of Wobbuffet being left at TR headquarters. Honestly though, this episode was rather meh.
