You know that long Poipole montage with no dialogue near the end of the episode?Wow they just said the name of the episode with NO THEME SONG WTF

In regards to this, one more thing I have to say about the montage sequence: as much as I prefer its dub self, the JP version would have won if Mima would've just waited until this episode to use Future Connection in an episode proper. Legit query to all reading this: wouldn't that song have meant more and given more impact to this scene if this was the only time within an episode proper that it was used? Really think about it. Future Connection was used for:I was curious as to how the dub would handle the ending to this episode, with the Mirai Connection sequence... I just saw what they did:
The sequence itself is kept completely intact, without credits, and the song is replaced with instrumental music that sounds like it was presumably made for the scene.
All things considered, that's probably the most sensible way they could have handled it. And, I mean, I'm happy, because it means I now have the ending to this episode without credits! And I do like my creditless scenes.
Definitely agree with you on the use of Future ConnectionNo title screen, huh? The title's only just said by Ash at the point I'm assuming the title was overlayed in the JP version. There isn't even an opening in this episode.
Kukui slipped a bit into his Masked Royal voice when doing the Z-Move. That was clever.
Matori got grounded by Tapu Koko. That's my favorite Alola Legendary.
The montage of the light being given to Necrozma had another use of the stars theme (heard in the Minior episode among others). That was spectacular. And right before the montage was a moment of actual silence. Dub music advocate that I am, I admit the dub needs more of that. Oh and the montage of when Poipole stayed behind got the new best track of Ultra Adventures. It's always the best idea to treat super-important scenes like this with the utmost care, and that's exactly what Mr. Goldfarb did. As a result, we got the most emotional moment the show will ever have all weekend.

Future Connection was used for:
a Dewpider trying to find a new home
a baking montage
Lycanroc kicking its aversion to dirt
Pikachu defeating Mimikyu
Z-Move fireworks
playing with Minior
Steenee evolving
and finally Poipole's goodbye.
Doesn't anyone else think that seven prior uses removes a lot of its uniqueness and lessens the impact of an important scene? Said scene was the eighth time that song was used. It should've been the first and only time.
But anyway, this arc was neat. And yes, I think Ultra Adventures should've ended on this episode.
Just wanting to ask if this is the last villlain arc of this series or there are gonna be more in future because if this is the last then I am very dissapointed.
Malasada's anime dubut
Giovanni is still out there, Tapu Koko didn't kill Matori and her squid, the don still wants Necrozma, this isn't the last we see of him or Poipole. Once Giovanni comes into play himself... we will get another shot at Necrozma and his big z move.
Poipole’s goodbye being so random and so rushed the classmates were actually rushing Ash to say bye to it so they can leave, it was all just bad.
Flare>>Galactic>>Op Tempest=>Necrozma>>Plasma>>Magma/Aqua>>>Aether
Dub: No episode title shown, but Ash still announces it via voiceover.
Hala's grandson, named after the only word he can sayWho is Malasada?
Thanks I didn't know that.Hala's grandson, named after the only word he can say
Clearly he's in fact a pokémon and is secretly promoting Gen VIII
Ash and Gladion using Z moves simultaneously with Solgaleo and Lunala was beyond epic
well it definitely was climatic since it directly impacted the climatenot even making it look all that interesting doesn't really seem all that climatic.

it's already been said that the lack of opening/title card was because the montage at the end of the episode replaced the opening in the japanese versionFine episode. No opening nor the title card. That's unusual.
Lots of things were contributed here. It was nice seeing all Island Kahunas (except Poni Island), all Island Guardians (including Tapu Fini), and the rest of Alola to share and lend their power along with all the Pokémon of Alola. Z-Moves were cool, but nothing too spectacular, aside from Solgaleo and Lunala, of course. Ash and Gladion teaming up, nice. Shows that they had to put rivalries aside and help others out! The rest of the Ultra Guardians didn't appear to have done much, but they did the best they can to lend out power. It was nice to see Poipole's world returning to normal, but also sad that Poipole opted to stay and Ash had to leave it behind.
Ash, surely you could come up with a better plan than to not have a plan in mind, can you?
Is this the dub's way to fit in other scenes left out to fit in with the schedule? Probably not.
and there was a title card in the US airingit's already been said that the lack of opening/title card was because the montage at the end of the episode replaced the opening in the japanese version
For the more recent episodes, I imagine that somewhere in the shows development process the creators have a "quota" of how good or bad Team Rocket is allowed to be for each season. The feeling I get here is that Mega Aggron used up most of their credit so then because of this rule they couldn't do anything else important. (I just made that up but sometimes I wonder if it could be true?)I was fully expecting Team Rocket to have some sort of way to control Ultra Necrozma, and that's where our big finale would come from, but no, both sides of that plot just got cut off abruptly.
This was definitely not a filler eps. in my book. This was an attempt to make this whole Necrozma situation as dramatic as they could (it failed to be as dramatic as the Mother Lusamine saga). But it ended with some results. The first is the legend of Necrozma. That ties in with the main series games and when that is achieved, I find it not as a filler at all. This is concrete info of yet another folklore in the Pokemon universe. The same with Lunala and Solgaleo (Although the way they transform into Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings was inaccurate to the game). Poipole leaving was to be expected and I expect another Pokemon (like "squishy" and "Nebby") to act as this role once more. It is a theme quite often beaten after dead. But in the producer's eyes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.So with what happens later in the show does this 4 parter feel like filler since it feels like nothing’s changed? (except with Poipole staying behind?)
