Yeah, ok!
Bertha's Gliscor seemed like a slap in the face to me. I can only hope that is foreshadowing.
We had the 360 degree perspective of Torterra that was mentioned as required by the Animation Directors (or someone) absolutely ages ago, I guess the story really is planned well in advance.

Don't wanna be rude or anything.. But the flying Hippowdon DID brutally ram it's face into the ground where Torterra got stuck until even after the battle had ended.. Torterra was face down stuck in the ground, come on man, how much more crushing defeat can you get in pokemon??? (Besides the infamous Muk vs Bellsprout bout and Snorlax vs that other thing that got squished, Hypno I think...)
I didn't mean literally, just meant it wasn't massively one sided XD
Seriously, If anything Gen V better give Hippowdon some more flying moves in it's moveset.. WHO KNEW! My Hippowdon in Gen V: Earthquake, Stone Edge, Curse and Sky Attack! Or even Drill Peck, I don't care! And maybe just give it Levitate as an ability, Sand Stream sucks anyway..
Bounce!
Good thing about this battle was though that Ash saw what Torterra's inhibitions are, so he can work on those (It's open for attacks from any other side that's not the front.).
Yeah, seems like a good episode for general Torterra development..

Yes, I thought that two, if someone can dig up when the animator said he was working on that 360 degree perspective, we can get a better perspective on how these episodes are made in length.
Art Director Iwane Massaki have posted on his website that he is working on 360-degree shot of Dodaitose/Torterra for future DP Anime episode.
I wonder if this 360-degree shot will be used when Satoshi's Grotle evolves...
Then again, it could be for Shinji's Pokemon instead.

Quick translation:
Right now, there is a scene where it shows the circling view of Dodaitose that I am working on.
Before I read the setting, I knew which area should be colored as Brown and Green; however, from rear side view, I was having a hard time with it (on coloring).
Because of that, I called OLM and they sent me Dodaitose doll for a reference. I am not sure if this doll is plain merchandise or not, but it does help me a lot on understanding it.
Both Hippowdon and Torterra were both pretty speedy really, I was expecting more of a 'exchanging slaps' sort of battle with them both standing in one place. I agree that Torterra does just seem like a slightly bigger Grotle with a tree coming out of it's back
Look at the picture and you can see that Iwane posted this in early November. This makes the gap roughly ~6 month.
If the animator was just working at it then. Well that implies other things as well.
Nice, She has a Gliscor from the Platinum team, it could be a clue. And too bad that Ash lost.
Team Rocket's armor is great, definitely reminds me something from the past.

Glad to see that somethings never change!
While on the topic, am I the only one to notice that one of the shots of Bertha's Gliscor was actually stock footage of Ash's?
So then what was the speech Bertha gave to Ash during their battle?
