This episode finally aired for English. Really enjoyed this filler episode. Loved the personalities and the teamwork that the Alola Starters have. Pokémon communicating through thought bubbles was clever, it gets the job done. Don't know if it's better or worse than EP17 (the 17th episode of the first season). Lana in this episode is extremely protective of Popplio, and she's serious about it! Completely understandable for Lana because Popplio is her only Pokémon. The blame all goes to Bounsweet, used as a plot device for the episode.
One of my favorite filler episodes. And this is one of these episodes where not everyone on the main cast appear at all. Lillie, Kiawe, and Sophocles don't appear at all.
It was kind of contradictory that Lana says balloon bubbles won't work for humans, yet it did for Team Rocket at the end. And yay, Team Rocket finally blasted off for the first time in this series! "We're blasting off again!"
