Not a bad episode but definitely one of my least favorite. A major reason why I didn't like it was because Shauna gave us a 5min+ exposition on Pokemon performances.

Seriously, they could've introduced performances in a more interesting way than how it is done here. In any case, I guess Serena will focus on becoming a top Pokemon performer.

I don't like the idea of these performances too much. They are extremely similar to Pokemon contests except without the battles which makes it less exciting.

I did enjoy the little Serena and Ash moments though. It was cute how Ash inspired Serena through his relationship with Pikachu

I remember reading some trivia somewhere about Wailord.

It said if you compare Wailord's weight to length ratio it is less denser than air. Which means it should literally be floating. And plus the pokedex entry classifies Wailord as a float whale pokemon so... the above picture is actually quite legit xD

This episode was not that great ... It was done just to fill a space between two important episodes. However, we finally found Serena's dream: Be a Pokémon performer! This will be crucial to the plot of the anime as a whole. Obviously, the next episode will be much better!

A bit disappointing that there won't be battles involved for Serena's goal.

Most boring episode imo.

Nice to see Serena x Ash moments, but for the most part the episode felt stale. Ash/Serena fall down the cliff and they can't get up. I personally would carry a Pokemon that can help me get up the cliff like an Onix, or a flying type. Other than that not much to comment.

I also found the episode the most boring one so far. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Pokemon performances though. Do you think they are better than contests or just a watered-down version of them?

Man, they always stick the girls with the performance role/dream in life. And now they've actually prevented any guys from competing (what with the winner's title being "Kalos Queen").

Just one of these times, I'd like to see a guy companion given the performance role/dream in life, or have a girl who hears about the performance and isn't interested in competing.

I liked the episode and didn't hear Serena say she wanted to be a Pokemon performer, just that she wanted to see it.

I thought it was a good episode, I enjoyed it.

The Serena and Ash moments were sweet especially down the ravine. Awww <3

I think Team Squirtle's PokeVision was the most boring, glad they didn't place in the top 3 - it was uninspired, and the two seconds seen of those who placed second and third were much better and inspired and Serena's was very cute and nice. Glad they won.

Lol at this XD XD

Anyway.. a poke vision video become relevant again.. not really in my liking but i guess the episode is okay.. There's some nice sweet Ash x Serena moment which is nice..

I'm a little bit disappointed about how pokemon performer work since it's just like a carbon copy of pokemon contest except without the battle.. well, i won't judge yet so i'll just wait until i see the episode focus on pokemon performer..

Overall an okay episode.. Not good enough if we compare to some previous episodes though.. looking forward to see the next ones.. 3/5

Satoshi sprained his ankle? WTF! It took almost 2 decades for that to happen.

Of course Satoshi's team won.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

so OLM found the replacement for contest - pokemon performance. well, i'm not that impressed lol. it's going to be AD and DP again with those performance episodes instead of filler. (though in DP they were good as the rest of the episodes). why the girl character cannot have normal trainer dream? lol

ash and serena moments are too obvious lol
