The contest isn't in Sunnyshore, it's in a place called Asatsuki town. It's along the way to Sunnyshore.
-Cool intro to the episode with Handsome being Captured. Incredibly intense
-Jupiter knows it's handsome and that its a codename. :O
-Neat. AG episode title music.
-The gang has apparently stopped in Floaroma Town and we get to see a Cameo of the Poffin girl and her Roserade and Lotad!
-Double Performance in Akatsuki town. It's along the way to Sunnyshore and...near Mt. Coronet I think.

-Also, it's the pokegear! Now Brock really is Max!
-Meowth is found injured
-Meowth tells them this was done by Team galactic in an all out brawl and that's how they find out about the ironworks and handsome.
-I liked how Meowth refuses to take their help, saying something along the lines of he'll save J&J himself, but Dawn just says their going anyway to help Handsome.
-The pose skuntank was in when it was watching over Team rocket and handsome's Cell was priceless, as was its laughter when jessie got shocked.
-I liked the music playing when Pluto and Jupiter were talking near the red chain. Movie 10 music.

-Also the music playing during the aerial battle made that scene feel all old school. Loved that whole scene in general especially when they land and piplup runs into Skuntank and Jupiter. Sweet
-battle atop the ironworks rooftop. The ironworks sure did provide some scenery that this anime rarely gets to see. Love it.
-Also cool music when Jupiter tells the gang about the pixies. I think shes telling them about their relation to them? I dunno.
-It's clear to me that none of the admins really like Pluto. He's more of nuisance to them it seems, and he seems full of himself when he refers to himself as " the genius pluto-sama".
So yeah, overall the episode was awesome! Twas a fine setupo episode and the new AD did a really good job, although he could have made some scenes flow a little more smoothly, but hey, low budget anime right?
9/10 from me

Can't wait til next week!
