My ranking:
22.Episode 16 (2/10) (cliche, boring and a fanfic wish fulfillment capture. Gengar's backstory was touching though
21.Episode 21 (2/10) (the only reason this doesn't have 1/10 and be at last place is because. There's a possibility of seeing a badass Lucario battling a lot.
20.Episode 1 (3/10) (really boring to me because I don't care about Pikachu)
19.Episode 6 (5/10) (I didn't hate it but Gou catching so many pokemon felt kinda cheap)
18.Episode 8 (5/10)(Very cliche filler. But felt nostalgic due to it being in Sinnoh and because of the Piplup and the Croagunk)
17.Episode 13 (6/10) (The battle was boring. Ash should've caught Drednaw. Gou Should've caught more Galar mons and I'd preferred it if we had gotten Galar gyms as goal instead. I still liked the episode though. It was great to see more Galar and have Ash's goal established and the game soundtrack was cool.
16.Episode 10 (6/10)(Another cliche filler. But there were some really hilarious moments such as Gou wasting his pokeballs on Dewgong and the meta comment on Dratini Line and the end was unexpected though I would've preferred Gou bonding with and catching a Dratini)
15.Episode 20 (6/10) (this ep was fine. not much to say about it. which is why it stays at 6 isn't good enough to be a 7. it was great to have Koharu being relevant in the episode)
14.Epiaode 22 (an alright one. I'm glad the conflict was resolved.
13.Episode 3 (7/10)(Another cliche filler but them showing the contrasts between Ash and Gou was fun and we got some implications of Gou's past.)
12.Episode 14 (7/10) (The race and trap scenes were fun and the battle was cool. Kind of a cliche episode. But I'm glad Gou caught Golurk and used Beedrill and Darmanitan. Dragonite getting used too was great The not knowing type matchups scenes were kind of annoyinh though)
11.Episode 17 (7/10) (An enjoyable episode. The battle was cool and I liked Scorbunny's determination. The TRrio moments were funny. I hope Raboot returns soon.)
10.Episode 18 (7/10) (An entertaining but not great battle. I'm glad Raboot didn't leave).
9.Episode 7 (7/10) (The battles were cool and funny and Gou learned about battling)
8.Episode 2. (7/10) (The Lugia ride was cool and Gou and Ash meeting was fun)
7.Episode 19 (8/10) (a hilarious and cute episode. I didn't care about Ditto before but this episode made me like it. Nice to see a Gou capture as well.
6.Episode 11 (8/10) (Yayy finally more focus on Koharu! A really cute and hilarious episodes, especially Koharu, Yamper and Dragonite. Ball bouncing to Gou's head was hilarious and the future talk was cliche but touching.)
5.Episode 4 (8/10) (Great introduction of Galar region and Scorbunny and Nickit were cute amd hilarious)
4.Episode 5 (8/10) (It was really cool to see the Wild area and Scorbunny was adorable and hilarious. The struggle to move the G-MAX Snorlax was funny. And Gou first rejecting but the accepting Scorbunny was emotional.
3.Episode 15 (9/10) (Very emotional episode because of Gou and Cubone. I cried after watchig it. There were also lot of cute and funny moments. And I liked how Gou bonded with Cubone and used his previous captures. One negative thing about this episode was how it used the pokemon lost its item and became depressed cliche. Though this episode is one of the best of those kind of episodes.
2.Episode 9 (9/10)(Yeah I admit that it's another cliche filler but the Old Man's story made me cry and It made me happy that he could finally see Ho-oh. And I also really liked seeing Ho-Oh and Cyndaquil again. This episode imo was better than any BW episode and better than any SM episodes expect the Stoutland's death and Mallow's Mom's ones.)
1.Episode 12 (10/10)(One of the best 1v1s pokemon battles ever! the battle itself was awesome even better than I expected. Not to mention the soundtrack and the game quotes.)
Edit. Added the poll
2nd edit. whoops. accidentally wrote the episode number of my 1st as 10 instead of 9 in my ranking. at least everyone could figure that out from the description and the poll is correct.
