I thought this episode was pretty humorous. Some things I wanted to point out are:
-When Poipole drew Bourgain's face on the wall, later on when he's yelling at his workers, he makes the exact face!!
-Ash couldn't recognize who Bourgain was at first (but I think he had an inkling of who he was... just not good at names) until Bourgain called him "Royal Satoshi". I thought it was kind of cute on how he knew who he was by appearance (hence the noise he made at first glance) but couldn't remember his stupid name. Silly Ash!
-When the Stakataka moved itself to Bourgain's new hotel, Kiawe automatically got angry. I noticed him repeatedly saying "mera mera mera mera" which is kind of like saying rawr rawr rawr rawr!!! I thought that it was funny.
-Everytime someone gets hurt like their face, they hold their face for a while and we see the bruise mark. I love that attention to detail.
-Ash knew Bakugames' spikes would explode so I liked that everyone just laughed after getting hit by them in the end.
The opening updated with Amajo. We still have the Movie 21 footage as an ending... we'll probably have it for a while. I miss the PokeProblem segment. ^^ I enjoyed the parts where every tall thing Kiawe had to jump over or attempt to climb resembled the Wela Volcano in his mind. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. I also love seeing Action Girl Lana surpassing Kiawe without being a showoff and her jumping with excitement was super cute!! I also liked seeing Togedemaru saving Ash, good job girl! Lillie should've known the Pokeballs were gonna fly back towards them, it was no use!!
I noticed the reuse of stock footage (not that it's bad at all). I just wanna point out that this episode gets an automatic 9/10 for the scene where Kiawe throws the UltraBall, misses, and Scyther comes out with an immediate "STRIKE!"
Also no Team Rocket in sight so that's good. I think the only parts I didn't really like was Ash not jumping over the meter thing. (I forgot what it's called but it's for Physical Education) I also think Ash's buttmonkey moments were a bit too much this episode but nonetheless, I enjoyed the majority of them. Everyone got their share of it, including Lillie even if she didn't get hurt. Great episode! The Stakataka was kindof a threat. There was only so much the Ultra Guardians could do.
