I really like when Pokemon are the protagonist of the episodes, and this wasn't the exception.

Darkrai appears and because of his powers, Meowth and Pikachu somehow get trapped into Puni-chan's dream. Then Pokemon start talking! And people are acting like Pokemon. Poor Pikachu, he didn't know what the fuck was going on.

Holy shit, is Zygarde 100%!


This sure was unexpected, I can't wait to his real debut.
It was kinda obvious that the fire monster who was chasing Puni-chan represents Team Flare. I liked that detail though.

Great episode. Lot of fun, little bit of trama. It was decent.

Next week Ash and co arrives to Sampei's village. I have the impression that will be a double episode.

I was waiting for a UFO to appear at the beginning when they were watching the sky ;)

Anyways, cute episode! Pokemon-centric. Puni-chan's "voice" is crazy though.

Just what exactly were Darkrai's motives?

It's safe to assume there's more than one Darkrai.

I did enjoy the dream scenes. The fire ghost indeed dpes represent Team Flare. Zygarde's 100% form being teased. If they are teasing his final form, then his real debut must be close.

Pikachu had some cute faces early in the episode.

Next episode looks like a two part arc. Most likely gonna impact Ash and...

Have to admit, one of the better episodes yet! Them speaking English, haven't heard of that since the Classic Pokémon Era. Damn I'm old.

Oh the nostalgia of that old pokemon island episode where they could all talk.

This was a nice episodes. I wonder if this was just suppose to be silly fun or whether the fire monster is actually something that will come into it later, and was Darkrai warning them perhaps. Or was it just randomly messing with them? xD.

OMG that was one of the best episodes ever!!!

The Pokemon talking was weird! lol. And Ash and Jessie and James talking Pokemon was hilarious!!!!

Jessie and James looked so adorable sleeping and snoring! I wish they'd slept leaning against each other.

Why did Darkrai put Pikachu and Meowth in to Squishy's dream? that was weird, why did he speak in an English accent? maybe it was a warning or he was just having fun. Squishie is scary at full power.

Fire monster looked like something from something else.

I like when Pikachu and Meowth work together a lot. I like when the Pokemon are the focus more of the episode like that.

I loved this episode <3

This episode was great! It was so weird hearing the Pokemon speak, but I loved how their voice actors were using the Pokemons individual accents but in English. Like Bunnelby/Diggersby sounded like themselves but used words. I just really hope Bunnelby and Braixen don't actually evolve because I love them the way they are ^_^ But gosh this brought back memories from that one episode in the original series when they got stuck on an island and were all talking!

And Squishy's voice!! Omg that made me laugh so hard x,D So did the part where Ash was talking like Frogadier xD

So Squishy is worried about Team Flare chasing him and it manifested itself into a ball of fire representing them. Wouldn't want that chasing me O_O

I wonder why Darkrai did that in the first place though...Now after all that it's like there's a sense of urgency. They need to hurry and get to Terminus Cave! I hope Bonnie still gets to keep Squishy though...The inevitable tearjerking goodbye feels close, but at the same time so far away...

A Pikachu & Meowth episode, so I already know I'm gonna love it. It was weird but really fun.

Meowth sleeps with earplugs too, I feel even more affinity with it. When Musashi and Kojiro were speaking as their pokemon I had to laugh. Of course in the Japanese version what the two said were both pokemon names and reasonable responses in Japanese. The pokemon talking and digivolving and stuff was fun too. It turned out to be a darkrai troll with no other meaning [that we know of yet] but I'm good with that!

Okay there definitely is more than 1 darkrai.
There is probably a Clan of Darkrais in the shadows. since they're rare to find and all it makes them Mystical.
Yeah !!!! there definitely is more than 1 darkrai secretly in shadows hiding
ash already knew darkrai. I don't know if darkrai knew ash , probably not. It was after squishy anyways for some reason. And why is there even a Darkrai in Kalos? i don't know.
Maybe just sightseeing. Or because... there's more than 1 and it lives there =]

Fun episode, hearing the Pokemon actually talk.
I wonder if Darkrai's intentions were to alert Meowth and Pikachu to Squishy's true nature maybe.
