Whichever Way The Wind Blows! (241)

This episode was like almost in concept the same as "Bulbasaur...the ambassador" It wasn't new nor original and that is why this episode wasn't that interesting after watching it. I mean, yeah sure it had some laughable moments here and there, but that is probably its strongest point.

The episode tries to develop a rivalry between Bellossom and Vileplume, and does a great job of it.

A nice filler episode, wasn't too impressed by it though. It was a rehash of "Bulbasaur The Ambassador". It had many laughable moments though which I loved and seeing Bayleef was good.

The fighting kinda reminded me of the fighting in Oak's garden.

It isn't the best episode but it did have some good bits. I liked the lesson at the end, it was nice and meaningful and is a good lesson to learn :)
 
I found it odd how Bayleef was the only one (of the Pokemon present at the time) wearing one of those face masks The three Oddish and Pikachu weren't.

The fighting between the Vileplumes and Bellossoms was interesting and I liked how the winds carried tiny Leaf Stone and Sun Stone particles which made the Glooms evolve. I liked how branched evolution was explained too. ^^
 
It was exciting to see how the wind made Grass Pokemon evolve and the war between the Grass types reminded me of the issues at Oak's ranch. :)

The episode did have a few good moments, like Meowth putting his translating skills to work, the ultra-cute Bellossom, Team Rocket going over the machines that they would have used, and Wobbuffet getting pulled into battle by a Bellossom.

I have to be blunt, I've never really seen the appeal of Nazonokusa or its evolved forms. So watching the groups of wild Rafressia and Kireihana causing a commotion and warring against each other was a monotonous plot. But it's ironic that the Rocket-dan helped assuage the tension between them, albeit unintentionally.

Yea and I thought it was a shame that Ash didn't have his Bulbasaur with him otherwise it would've been able to do a better job at peacekeeping and end the conflict. ^^;

I'm glad Bulbasaur wasn't involved here, though it's odd how Ash thought of using his Bayleef to help ease the tension of the Grass-types instead.

In hindsight, the whole conflict between the groups of Rafressia and Kireihana seemed very similar to the conflict at Okido-hakase's lab when Fushigidane visited it earlier in the saga.

I swear we just had this war between Pokemon subplot in "Bulbasaur the Ambassador" but whatever I guess it's Ash's turn to act as a peacekeeper? Still annoying to have the same plot reused in such a boring way.

I don't get how the wind was able to carry small particles of the evolutionary stones? How did the wind manage to carry minerals like that?

It's the same principle that applies to wind carrying any airborne substance like sand and dust. The wind here eroded the Leaf and Sun Stones over time, and the dust got sent into the air and was blown directly into the meadow.
