Saw the pictures, looks enjoyable to me.
I enjoyed Team Rocket through out it, they had their serious moments(Using high tech stuff to easy drop, getting in Plasma's business), and it looks like they had a comedic moment in the form of Meowth being tied up(Wasn't over the top or anything though, in another series Meowth probably would have scratched Jessie's and James' face off before being tied up, or he wouldn't get tied up and would just stop once Looker did his thing, Jessie and James would then proceed to fight Meowth). Their blast off looked dramatic with the faces, did they say the line this time? I was hoping they wouldn't blast off this episode, but I kind of figured Colress was going to go after them(Even jokingly saying that he was going to kill them...which...wasn't that far off).
I enjoyed Colress, I like his personality here, and it looked like he had a moment that he was very interested in Pikachu, and it looked like the female grunt said something that resulted in Colress having a pouty face, that's what it looked like to me at least. I'd like it if the female grunt has a more prominent role then the other grunts, for one, there isn't anyone noticeable from the group besides Ghetsis and Colress, the former I don't see having a big role any time soon, also, in the opening I believe she's the only female, plus she seemed more important in this episode then the other two grunts.
The stuff with Ash and that looks nice too, better once I know what's being said.
