Kimori simply gaining a new attack was significant on its own, so I can see why he didn't evolve into Juptile here, especially since there was a Juptile present in this episode already.
The Fallarbor/Lavaridge argument was fun and the double battle had some cool moments, but overall was kind of repetitive. After Ash tried the same strategy three times in a row I was bored.
As fun as watching Natchi's double battle against Satoshi was, it seemed less exciting than the time when Satoshi faced his first double battle in Houen since he was once again just relying on strength and dodging.
THIS DREAM!!!!! <3 Love this opening!!!!!! (and Swellow is like look mom, I evolved!)
Good episode. I like Ash's strategy to teach Treecko Bullet Seed.
Also Season 7 has the best dub titles
