This looks like a fun Episode.

No it can't be, you see it's a filler and it has lucario screenhogging time, it must be bad!

Do I wish the rest of Ash's Team be used more? Yes
Do I think they need to be in what amounts to a Gag Episode? Nah

Plus this episode will probably give Lucario a more explicit personality and interactions so I've got no problem.

I was being sarcastic haha, Im honestly excited for this episode as well esp since last week was so fun

Pretty meh episode. While i get what they were trying to do, there was pretty much no chemistey between both cinderace and Lucario, which makes it less fun, than say the emolga and snivy rivalry. Or even the chespin pancham episodes

 

[Shadao]

So it's a mech Pikachu TR is using? I have to say, that's the most realistic Pikachu dummy ever.

 

[dman_dustin]

So I have to ask the writer? Why couldn't this have actually been a Farfetch'd focused episode?

This episode tries too hard to try and give Lucario a unique personality or express more emotion and yet the question is: Why was it like every other Lucario to even begin with? Why did you need to force it, in an episode like this?

Oh no I accidentally spilled some Ash-Lycanroc characteristics onto Ash-Lucario.....oops......here's this episode.

I think it makes sense in a similar way to Cinderace's changes. Before Lucario was a cute baby while Cinderace was an edgy teen, now Cinderace has matured and regained its cheerfulness while Lucario's the teen annoyed by it. I don't think the idea is to try and make Lucario look unique, it's just what they felt was a natural reaction to the hyper positive Cinderace. The new intro thing also shows this more awkward reserved side of Lucario when Dragonite pushes it and in the photo.

This episode was so cute haha, TR here was so fun. Definitely a fun filler episode

This episode could've been far more interesting if Ash's other Pokemon were involved (a unique complaint, I know) instead of repeating the same gag ten times in a row. Also the twist at the end was obvious.

 

[Mr.Munchlax]

Is it me or do Cinderace & Lucario kind of feel like the series’ equivalent to Chespin & Pancham?

 

[Ace-Barn]

Cinderace when Lucario knocks away the icecream: "bark bark bark bark, baaarrkk!" I died laughing. Can't say I am a fan of eithers voice.

No justice for Greedent.

Cinderace's craziness.

Ash is pregnant.

Ball + ball = beam?

 

[lolipiece]

Also, speaking of Pokemon that should be here, where's Greedent? Guy literaly did all the work and got none of the reward.

 

[HolyNova Lucario]

So Cinderace and Lucario's attitudes are essentially switched (Raboot being the edgy loner and Riolu being the hyper energetic one). Hope Lucario grows out of his loner phase as the series progresses. Overall the episode was fine I guess, 7/10

 

[Almighty Zard]

that one shot of Ash only proves to me that if the humans were the ones in the eating contest last week, he probably would've won hands down.

nice to see Sawk and Throh again even if they were under TR's command.

 

[Icy-Snowflake]

Lucario: I'm not a kid anymore.
Cinderace: Let me live as a kid once again 'cause my childhood was cut short.

 

[Remix2]

Should I even bother to ask why wasn’t g Farfetchd doing this With Lucario instead of cinderace.

The joke with the pole got tiresome tbh. It is Chespin vs Pancham all over again.
