Both great and amusing episode.
What I found most amusing was the Umbreon references they have added to this theft scheme. Being an Umbreon fan such as myself, I found those moments gleeful and hilarious. Especially what they did to Meowth. That was just too much (in a good way). I just couldn’t stop chuckling from the inside. XD
Craze aside.
The Battle dome looked interesting; too bad there weren’t many contestants. Great to see Survine and Dewott action though. Already we get to see some starter evolution screen time. But Survine being defeated by Dewotts water attack? Some Survine that was….
Lulz at Oshawatts attempt to steals Pikachus spotlight battle. I’m liking his personality already, he’s becoming more witty each passing episode. The battle between Pikachu and Dewott was great too; too bad it was cut short. Dang Umbreon. XD
I love seeing Oshawott and Pikachu drama. Both of them just makes things much entertaining. Still, Pikachu being crammed in the head with boxes and a pan for a boot, even I had to say “ouch” on that last part.
They are really going into details in this season. They made Tepig look very neglected and out of shape, it was just saddening (in an emotional way) to see.
TR is really living to their expectations, they becoming more proficient each passing episode. I can’t believe they almost got away with nabbing Pikachu.
Just when I thought that the exploding force field would have send them off blasting off, instead they make a combat and glide away. Didn’t see that coming. I’m still accustomed to their usually old routine. Never knew how much I would have missed that.
Ash keeping Tepid fits him well. Glad to have him on the team. His VA could use a little more work though. He needs more blare in his voice but his various snorts and grunts makes him legit. So he’s cool.
I’m glad they replaced ‘Who’s That Pokemon’. That fad is always warm welcoming, especially when we are starting anew.
Overall, excellent episode, really.
10/10.
This season is becoming more appealing each passing week. Can’t wait to see more.
