Mallow chan and Bounsweet's time to shine is here, and she's doing the Pokémon Problem
like she was supposed to 15 episodes ago. I'm excited to see what's in store for the duo.
Review starting now!
-That's pretty cool that Bounsweet can deliver drinks to the customer... probably one at a time.
-The crush on Bounsweet is hitting hard on Rowlet... poor guy. He's gonna keep getting blown off. I bet Sophocles was smelling that sweet sweet berry body scent of her.
-WOW! EVERYONE got Thunderbolt'd in one bite! That's peculiar! O_O Biri biri chika chika
-Mallow having a big brother confirmed!!!
Also I knew her dad wasn't going to look like her, he wouldn't look good with green hair/eyes. Their designs are fine. Her brother has a really long ponytail and he doesn't look bad with darker green hair.
-Team Rocket's secret basement is so shiny and new!!! Very nice.
-Rowlet's family makes another appearance!! ;~;
-Okay now that was funny!! BWHAHAHA!!!! Bounsweet's only power is attracting others with her sweet scent but only it's scent if it lasts long. No wonder Bounsweet wanted to evolve so badly!!
-Reminds me of Meloetta's transformation. This is really cool seeing a Oricorio transform by sucking the nectar out of a flower
-Wow, what a cute evolution! Bounsweet got so pissed off by it's lack of power, it evolved... lol. SHe got some nice moves going on, so that's how Meowth got those 2 blemishes on his cheeks!
-This is off topic but why does Mallow have visible lips when Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on the TRio? So happy she battled (well, commanded an attack, it's something.) R are lucky to have Bewear with them.
-A delish meal! ... I'm not gonna say anything but Sophocles just HAD to ruin a good moment. Lana has my reaction.
-Rowlet still getting blown off.
I really enjoyed this episode. Mallow (and Bounsweet to a certain extent) showed off her personality pretty nicely. She's critical on everyone's opinion on her food, she's scatterbrained in the sense of using different methods to spice up her recipes, and she has a never giving up altitude, trying hard to find the nectar. She does take criticism pretty normally, I mean what can you do but listen to the complaints of someone who taste tested your food. I kind of wish there were more interactions between her and the classmates and that she was the one to defeat Team Rocket. The episode was pretty chill, not much action going on but it was very entertaining and I liked seeing Ash and Mallow explore places and get into trouble. It was also great hearing about Mallow's family and their impact on her. It was also better for Bounsweet to evolve as there isn't much going for her. I don't think Bounsweet really showed off it's personality aside from blowing off Rowlet and pushing itself to exhaustion to attract another Pokémon. I think now that Bounsweet has evolved into Steenee, it'll mirror Mallow's behavior and probably seem a bit more oblivious to things around her. I hope in further episodes, we'll learn more about Mallow and Steenee aside from her being a cook and making yummy food and Steenee being there just to promote itself as a cute friendly Pokémon with not much going for it. Overall, it was a pretty nice episode. Great break before we get into the real action!
