Grotle kicked some serious butt in this battle, despite the fact that he lost. The effects of the swallowing Energy Ball looked awesome. Unfortunately for Grotle, it was 1 Rock Wrecker too many...8/10

The only losses in that flashback I remember seeing are Monferno's loss, Grotle's loss and Gliscor's loss.
Brock! Use Poison Jab on Croagunk now! Get your revenge!
Dangit! I overlslept and missed the episode before this! Really wanted to see it again, too.
Just watched this episode this morning, finally!
This was an alright episode. Awesome, Dragonite get's another appearance! But, I wish we saw more of it, though. And it's showing off for the crowd, too. One word: AWESOME.
Since when can Glameow and Umbreon fly? That's messed up.
Palmer's not that observant when it comes to battle's he's supposed to do, isn't he? Just pigging out on Octillery snack-thingies...
This episode makes the first episode I've seen and heard of the move "Rock Wrecker". A question about it: It wouldn't happen to be the strongest Rock move, would it?
Disregard that question, I checked the main site's attack dex, It looks like it is.
I really thought Ash was going to win the battle, but unfortunately, he lost. It looked like it was a close match though. But, he get's the trophy anyway.
At least Grotle put up an awesome fight, though.
How could Ash not know what Palmer was talking about when he said, "with that battling style of yours I'm sure you'll give Sunnyshore's gym leader quite a "Shock"!"? I may just be paraphrasing there. You'd think traveling all this time he'd do some research on the region to know what the gym leaders are and at least what types they are...

Good episode, thoroughly enjoyed it. The battle was epic - Grotle performed excellently and I love the whole Energy Ball powerup thing. Nice of Palmer to give Ash the trophy. I thought the episode was a nice end to the Twinleaf Festival-arc; looking forward to the Sunyshore Gym now.

This episode was cool. It was great that Ash made it all the way to the final battle vs Palmer. It was cool to see Grotle eat Energy ball to power itself up. It was cool to see Croagunk had a crush for the 1st time. Glad to have it confirmed that Croagunk is indeed a male. It was great to see a Rhyperior for the 1st time. Rhyperior is really strong! It was cool to see Rock Wrecker for the 1st time. Too bad the tournament was extremely short... Grotle vs Rhyperior was a very good battle, too bad Rhyperior was too strong and took Grotle down.

cool episode! Ash vs Palmer..thats just awesome ^^ Palmer is my favorite battletower champion =3
There's not a lot I can really say about this episode, except that it sucks that Ash fought a tough battle and still wasn't able to win, but then again it was a Frontier Brain. 
I've never been big on the battle-heavy episodes, but at least it was made more fun with Barry around, and at least it makes for a decent conclusion to the Twinleaf Festival.
6/10

Loved barry singing at the end, such a funny character

Kurotsugu was as amazingly strong as he was in the Shinou games, so Satoshi managing to keep pace against Kurotsugu's Dosidon using his rather weak Hayashigame was an achievement in and of itself. My only issue here was that Kurotsugu mentioned Shinou's Battle Frontier, yet Satoshi never even got to visit it.

Palmer's laid back attitude reminded me of Goku and his Rhyperior was awesome when it fought Grotle. I liked Barry's singing scene too.

Lol. Why is it that Ash pretty much forgets everything he has ever done? Like here, he got all excited about meeting a Frontier Brain as if he had never been offered the chance to be one himself...

We get professional athletes who fangirl at the chance of meeting other pro athletes IRL. I doubt a 10 year old getting excited at meeting a prominent trainer means he forgot all about the Battle Frontier just because they offered him a spot.

I just thought that a Kanto Frontier Brain flashback/montage was in order, for consistency's sake. :c
Ash really showed why he's a great trainer in this episode and actually thought things through before choosing his main battle Pokemon. That was nice. I kind of got distracted when I tried to figure out what song was playing in place of "Battle Frontier" (was it just some random TPCI instrumental?) and again to try and figure out what song Barry was singing instead of "Pokemon Ondo".
I kind of figured that perhaps the writing staff had Palmer mention that location here cuz they had planned on showing it someday, but then maybe those original plans changed as Dp's pace got quicker. That's just my headcanon.

Given the anime's habit of abandoning plot points, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case as well. Still, it would've been nice if we had gotten a silhouette appearance of the Shinou Frontier Brains while Kurotsugu was explaining the Shinou Battle Frontier.
