Hmm Rockruff vs Lycanroc Midnight... Midday form foreshadow?? :O That'd be cool though, a battle between both forms :D

I liked Gladion, he is not like Paul as many people would think at first sight. The ultimate fact is that he has an Umbreon. The battle was postponed but if Rockruff evolves before that, it'll be epic. Now Ash is aware of the second Kahuna but I wonder how is that since the Trial captains are supposed to be his schoolmates xD

Next episode is baseball time, I guess it's for the laughs xD

Okay to no one's surprise even though they did kill off a pokemon a few episodes ago, they toned down Lily's family a bit, and Gladio is not a complete a - hole and they are going more redemption route at least with him, the mother can still be evil, but who knows. Gladio going to be more of an N / Alan type character, than a pure villain. It is a kids shows, I am not surprised they changed things.

Still if Sun and Moon gets a Pokemon Generation adaption, it would be interesting to see their version of Gladio, he probably be a whole different kind of character.

Gladion was perfect, man i love it when they use the og soundtracks in the anime. The part where Ash got the challenge letter and the Pokemon movie intro started playing, so damn epic!

The fact he has an Umbreon doesnt mean that much though in relevance to Paul. Paul was a rough trainer, borderline abusive but every single of his Pokemon that stuck with him was loyal towards him. Heck, they were outright dissapointed when Paul lost to Ash in Lillycove. So some Pokemon - just as some humans - want and need to get trained by getting pushed to it's limit to reach their maximun level.

Dont forget that happiness also gets raised by leveling up while getting knocked out lowers it.

Anyway, Midnight forme, looked sweet. Though all those Red-Eyes chants made me think of Yugioh special summons.

I can't imagine an Eevee evolving after days/weeks of abusive training lol But I get your point.

Since there are no badges and I don't play the games, I have absolutely no idea how far the game plot is covered so far. Talking about "plot" in a pokemon anime is kind of weird in itself, but well...

Is it possible to say how far the events in the anime are, in comparison to the games? Are we still just in the beginning? Because Satoshi isn't even starting a journey but is just minding his own business in the starting town.

I liked the feel of progression in the older anime with a clear goal like "collect badges and compete in the pokemon league in the end" a bit better. For orientation's sake.

The game plot and the anime plot have a lot of differences so far. For example in the games we only knew lillie and gladion are siblings near the end, here it's right at the beginning.

The anime has a goal and has orientation though, which is the Kahuna battles and then facing Tapu Koko. There are 4 Kahunas on Alola, which is equivilant to the 8 gyms of previous series. In this episode Gladion told Ash about the 2nd Kahuna, which is kind of a next destination for Ash.

As for the main plot, it hasn't been introduced yet. Gladion's introduction is, however, a good thing, since he's important to the whole plot of the series, at least in the games. The next good introduction would probably be the admins of Team Skull, and potentially their leader.

Overall the game's plot was the best since a while, it's complex and it has a lot of interwhining elements to it, and if the anime took the main parts of that plot and put it in this anime then we're in for a good ride later on. But until then we'll probably be stuck in the SoL school.

Nice finally a rival appears and gladion is cool

Lillie is adorable here!

Finally an eeveelution, my favs! Umbreon suits gladion. Guess he likes dark pokemon hmm.. still not a fan of the midnight ver :p i prefer the other one/midday one. Maybe ash his rockruff will be midday ver and they will eventually battle against each other?
