I get the feeling that the Blast Burn comment was Kukui doing one of his sayings like "your passion burns as intense as a Blast Burn" or whatever. The Togedemaru thing was probably because it got excited that they figured something out relating to Ash's problem? Which was the question Hala asked him? They were looking at Rattata and Raticate in the Dex and the relationship with Yungoos and Gumshoos came up sooo...
Some of those transitions where a random Pokemon appeared just seemed, well, random. Especially the Haunter one, that was completely unnecessary. Likewise TR were unnecessary but they did give us some funny Bewear footage, it's literally punching them in the face to feed them lol.
The summaries made the Rattata and Raticate seem more important than what they were although it was kinda funny watching the Yungoos/Gumshoos trio just beat the crap out of the several hundred of them.
The totem battle was fairly good with the strategy but it seemed to end really quickly. I understand that Totem Gumshoos took like ten million Quick Attacks and then a Thunderbolt but still, just felt like we could've seen more of it's destructive power than what we got. Even it's goons went down pretty easily, I think they only took one hit?
Hala's pretty similar to what I expected, the voice seems fine but maybe it's not quite as deep as what I wanted. Haven't seen any translations of what he was saying so maybe he actually explained why Tapu Koko is just jacking all his Z-Rings. Speaking of the Koko it's rather interesting that it was watching the trial, don't know what that means for Ash in the future.
I had issues with some things here although I still liked the episode.
