----------------------------------------
It seems incredible that a Pokemon is the first villain in the history of the series (anime). It's great, Malamar certainly will be a grand antagonist, and make sure something interesting series.

As for the episode, I felt back to the first episode, where Ash shows his courage and protects Pikachu. Finally one of Clermont's inventions worked and because of that, they could get out alive.

Great episode.

I think there was a delay or maybe 1 week break. I think tomorrow should be when it's subbed or Tuesday at most.

Malamar had quite and arsenal of Powerful Pokemon, ranging from Beedrill to Exploud to even the Dragon type Noivern. Had Malamar ordered those Pokemon to attack Ash I doubt Ash would have won. Those pokemon Malamar had under control were fully evolved Pokemon. Plus Malamar could just use Psychic to prevent Ash from getting to his Pokemon. By luck that Robot Pikachu saved the day or else bye bye Ash and friends.

I wonder if Malamar has a trainer or if it's doing what it's doing on its own.

As for James I also wonder if his Maiika will evolve into an evil Malamar based on how Meowth said Maiika evolves into Malamar.

Well wasn't that pretty surprising? An evil pokemon with World Domination goals? That sounds weird, and "our" plan? Certainly Malamar will appear later. I kind of doubt this Malamar is linked to Team Flare, but the possibility does not escape my mind.

Malamar's partner is Mewtwo. I bet my third kidney on it.

Wow at this episode. Glad I caught up with it, pretty good suspense they thrown in there with an evil Pokémon this time around.

This was very great for a Pokemon episode. We have an established main villain which is very exciting news for this series. This was a very suspenseful episode.

I thought that was one of the best episodes ever!

Ash et al helping Meowth after James and Jessie got under Malamars spell. I can't believe Meowth scratched it's own face lol. Then Ash's but Serena shoulda got her face scratched too.

I wonder what that Malamar is up to! So evil, I wonder why it wants to do evil. Maybe it was treated bad.

I hope James's Inkay doesn't evolve into evilness too! I like James, he doesn't deserve an evil Pokemon.

Got a lot of laughs out of this episode! Especially the ending with James' Inkay, hilarious stuff haha.

I'm loving this Pokemon villain, and while I don't think its actually the first one in the history of Pokemon, its sure to be one of the best if it makes a return sometime.

What a great episode.. It's been awhile until we get something like this.. Malamar will make an interesting antagonist based on his technique and personality.. I guess if not because of Clemont's invention in the end they will be done for..

Surprisingly, this Malamar also have several great "servant" like Exploude and even frickin Noivern? O.o and it's a good foreshadowing that James Inkay can evolve into a Malamar.. Let's see if this one become the truth in the later of the story..

Overall a great episode and one of the best in the series so far.. Looking forward to see the next ones.. 5/5

What an episode.

So Calamanero was controlling Junsa. What other things did Calamanero do to Junsa for fun? :D

The good old Nyarth scratching Satoshi. Good times.

I always loved brainwashing episodes in anime. Honestly this is probably one of my favorite episode so far. I also love the moments where Team Rocket teamed up with Ash for the greater good than being a blasted away villain.

At least Calamero will return again, which means Team Rocket gonna be teaming up with the twerps again.

*SPOILERS!!! ...maybe*







Just gotta say...Team Flare. "Our plan," and "Reconstruct the world" is basically what they wanted in the games.

Malamar was @#$$#%ing terrifying! It was evil, malicious, and was powerful enough to take full control of Pikachu, so much so that it had to take the Citronic Gear to take it down, BY CHANCE! And last time I checked, that thing was a fire hazard......and a choking hazard (refer to the episode when Ash was training for Viola).

Meowth scratching Ash's face. I bet he enjoyed that more than he should have. Good for you man, good for you.
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!!

O engraçado é que esse personagem Sanpei tem o mesmo sobrenome da seiyuu Yuuko Sanpei, que depois de alguns acabou dando sua voz para um outro ninja: Boruto, o filho de Naruto

Oooh very serious episode and a nice setup for future episodes.
Malamar was genuinely scary and a very interesting antagonist, goofy voice though ^^

Also the Inkay at the end lol.
