A Race for Home (856)

This episode made me wish Team Rocket were better at battling. Only once was TR could at battling and that was when Jessie beat Ash. Than again if Ash and friends did not cheat in battles maybe Team Rocket could pull a few wins.

She beat Pidove in BW ep 2.

Sure it was kinda cheap win but still a victory.

A didn't expect to enjoy this episode as much as I did but it turned out that there would be a lot of development for Serena and that's fantastic.

Grace really is a great mum. Not only did she try to provide a career path for Serena when she kept giving up but she knew it would push her to find the dream of her own. I also loved how Serena finally found the way to stand up for her dream and hopefully she will push on from here and become a great Pokémon Performer.

Quick mention for the Skiddo pronunciation, I think I might prefer it this way. Makes the name fun to say :)

Great episode, onto the next one!

I loved this episode. Serena ramming Team Rocket off the road on a Rhyhorn was awesome!

And I loved how Grace chose to ride Skiddo because they can sense emotion.

But really..... Skiddo's name is pronounced so weird......

I rather enjoyed this episode more than I anticipated. Great development for Serena, and thus, she's growing to be one of my favorite characters.

Bonnie calling Clemont a little kid reminded me of Iris calling Ash a kid... oh the joy in that overused gag.

Lol at TR stealing cheese of all things. They're not even trying anymore. Serena Skiddo racing was worth a few chuckles. :cool:

Pretty good episode, I'm glad Serena got to show how much she's really grown as a person and trainer since she first started her journey, especially when she pushed extra hard to win the race against her mom. I liked Clemont trying to ride those pokemon too, LOL. Too bad Team Rocket didn't get away with that cheese, though, it wasn't like they stole the whole supply, and just missed non-detection by seconds.

7/10

Look at how much of a badass Serena was in this episode: trying to ram TR's truck with Rhyhorn, being all angry when she fell off of Skiddo. She was in her element and I loved each second of it.

Aww the Skiddos at the ranch seemed so cute and I was happy to see Grace make an appearance again. Team Rocket's cheese theft was funny hee hee and I liked when Serena rode of Rhyhorn and on Skiddo as well.

They definitely looked cuter in this episode than they do in the games at least. I'm kinda mad that Ash didn't manage to catch a Skiddo here, though. Either he or Serena deserved one IMO. This was the perfect place.

Good episode. Serena's really grown since the past episodes of her having no goal to begin with, which is a plus for her character development. I kinda doubt her past in racing would influence her style as a performer though.

The fact that Serena stood up to her mother made me happy, because it proved how much she'd grown since she first began her quest. The actual Meecle race itself was fun as well, even though this episode served no other purpose in the end.

When has Ash ever cheated at battling Team Rocket? If anything, they're the ones who cheat with their giant robots.

I know right lol! XY did a great job in that regard!
XY did a pretty good job when they actually addressed Serena's own problems like in this episode, if only the execution of Showcases were half as good as Contests or some of the Serena focused episodes after this episode were not just Amourshipping bait, my opinion about her would have been a lot better.
