I really liked this episode, it's great how they managed to have the majority of the characters appear and several of them actually got to have a role in it (Frogadier stalking around corners, Pikachu and co. reacting to Clemont's invention, Pancham talking to the Pangoro etc), this is how more fillers should be done.

The only thing that was missing was some kind of scene showing Meowth being hesitant to do betray Bonnie or something.

There was no plot here, just a comfy little sojourn of characters. It was just basically Reaction Images: the Episode. One of the best things of this episode is the interactions between the other Pokemon and the other trainers. Pikachu and Braixen really are their trainers' Pokemon, Chespin does what it does best, Frogadier still cool as ****, and Luxray big ****ing dog. I loved how some of them reunited, Luxray's meeting with Ash and Serena touching hands with Braixen.

Other Pokemon have their moments as well, Meowth is tolerable this episode and it has been a while since I have seen it in all fours, Dedenne once again proving to be one of the best pikachuclones being carried by a protagonist, and Pancham mediating with its evolutionary line. Comfy episode overall..

Funniest scene was Braixen and Pikachu's faces during Clemont's showing off his inventions and Jessie having the compulsion of reciting the motto right after Meowth simply saying a question, which then backfires on him as he joins in himself.

I don't have any strong feelings towards this episode. I feel I would have enjoyed it more if I actually cared for Bonnie and Meowth. But I don't so it's a pretty meh filler episode
 

Platinum fan.

So I watched this episode and I was entertained. Pokemon needs more episodes like this. I'll take this over generic Gym Badge number...what number are we at? The Pokemon get to show their personalities and that is always a plus. Even Luxray got some screentime. And we got some interesting groups. Serena with Chespin and Frogadier, Ash with Pancham, Clemont with Braixen, Pikachu, and Bunnelby. Okay he always had Bunnelby. Maybe they should have had the bunny with Ash during the split. It's always kind of fun to see odd teamups like this for just one episode. Don't make a habit of it though. Amusing the birds get nobody but Luxray.

This was a Bonnie episode so I watched it for that, not knowing how fun this episode would be. It was by no means the best of XY, but I was entertained. In Clemont's group the Pokemon all had the personalities of their trainers. In Serena's group Chespin wanted to take the lead over Frogadier. Frogadier could probably lead it's own group, because it pretty much lead Serena and Chespin. Thank goodness for the frog. Ash and the Cham were pretty basic.

Then we have Bonnie and Meowth. I don't know what they were saying to eachother, I can only assume Bonnie didn't trust the cat at first, but then lightens up to it. There were some enjoyable moments. Bonnie acting smug when Dedenne shocked Meowth, only to get shocked herself. Meowth trying to carry Bonnie when she got put to sleep. They built up the music all three times he tried and failed. I love stuff like that. But at the end of the day, it's the Cham that tries to save the day against the Pangoros. The Cham is the Panchampion of all Pancham's and when it speaks all listen. The Cham is the best Pancham of all time.

So overall a nice filler. Bonnie episodes rarely disappoint. By no means a super episode, but I was entertained and didn't feel like this was a chore to sit through.

The Episode is not that bad, i love bonnie and meowth interact, after watching this episode, i want the writers give bonnie a pokemon :(
during the Serena's group, frogadier is being careful and guarding/protecting serena, then serena say something like "Frogadier is Serena's bodyguard, that frogadier is so reliable, then chespin got jealous and tried to do same , but as soon Pangoro appear, chespin got scared and hide behind serena.

Like Owner Like Pokemon
Ash>Frogadier

Pretty unoffensive and kinda cute but not to interesting or engaging, which is most of Bonnie's episodes so eh

Came for the episode for the inter-character interactions. Was satisfied. Some might say it's filler but it was still pretty enjoyable

Wow, this is the worst Meowth-Twerp interaction episode ever. Many of the past ones could move me, but here Bonnie seemed like a jerk 99% of the time. She didn't even think that Meowth has feelings/reasons of his own too.

She directed all thanks at Dedenne for awakening her without even looking at Meowth.

Terrible.

New opening is pretty cool, althrough I feel bad for some of the kids who are now expecting Alain to be the final kalos gym-leader.

The Bonnie-meowth moments were fairly meh, but the interactions between the main cast after they split up were really enjoyable.

7/10

This is basically what I think of it too, a fun little filler episode that was enjoyable to watch.

I'm glad we've gotten past the gym battle and they can show Luxray with some other type of personality traits besides "I'm intimidating and stoic". Good episode overall.

Let's go to the beach, each.
Hurray for Luxray doing something and Pancham interacting with those Pangoro; I was thrilled to see that. Aside from that, I didn't care for this unfortunate Bonnie and Meowth filler.

I will admit; the episode is pretty entertaining, especially the interesting dynamic between Bonnie and Meowth.
