Thus marks the end of this mini-arc. I gotta say, it was a good arc, and the animation this episode was really good.

Finally getting the anticipated Frogadier -> Greninja evolution was great and a little AshGreninja on top of that was great.

Curious to see the real capabilities of AshGreninja.

Three Greninja in a single episode...I lol'd.

I felt that the whole evolution sequence was a little bit rushed, even the transformation. Also I thought they would explain more info...it is a Mega Evolution? If not, then what the hell it is?

But I've to admit...the scene where Greninja punched Bisharp was fucking awesome.

I liked these two episodes. Ninjas, Pokemon...they definitely make a great combo.

Next episode Eevee makes his debut in a TriPokalon. I wonder whether she'll succeed or fail.

I really liked these two episodes! Nice to have a continuous story. I wouldn't have minded if they dragged it out a bit more or showed us more of what the ninja village is like.

I also got some Star Wars-ish vibes with how the ninja "hold great power" that can be used for good or evil. Maybe a future Team Rocket leader will be a "dark side" ninja? Haha.

XYZ was kind of a letdown until they hit this little arc with the ninja's. Then again, we're not even 10 episodes in so I don't have a ton to complain about.

Happy to finally see Ash get his Greninja as they started to build that a while ago and not he's gotten it. The small glimpse at AshGreninja was pretty sweet and unexpected. Thought we would just get Greninja to show off a bit.

But man, too many Greninja's. Too much water.

Hmm seeing as Ash's Greninja was covered by a Water veil, perhaps the new form gives it a boost of power only when it's in the low health.

Something that bugged me was Bisharp's speed in the battle. It has a base 70 speed while Greninja's speed is higher than Bisharp's. It was just weird seeing Bisharp move with such quickness.

Anime and Game mechanics are pretty different...

The anime doesn't really uses the game's stats at all.

Slow pokemon in the game may actually be fast in the anime.
And things that doesn't damage others in the game may damage in the anime

Water Shurikan dealing massive damage and is a charged up move instead of 15 base and fast attacking move.

Fuck the second part was epic as fuck, but went too fast. I really wonder what Greninja is capable of, I really have a good feeling about what'll happen in the league with this team of OP pokemon in Ash his disposal.

Ikr? It all felt like a blur!!! Still all the battles were epic in their own way. Can't wait to see how Satoshi will progress in the final gym battle and championship battles.

It was nice to see Frogadier evolve to Greninja...
Selena: "It'll be our turn next, Braixen!" She better have her fox become a full powered wizard!
Meanwhile, Clemont's Chespin STILL hasn't evolved...

I can't believe Frogadier evolved in to Greninja already! I wondered if it was maybe a mega evolution too, that'd sure be cool.

Seizo and Ippei were so hot!

They were some of the coolest Pokemon battles this episode!

I wonder if the dude will go back there after leaving again after attacking it.

I knew Gekogashira would evolve this arc.
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).

Seeing Mega-Greninja was awesome!
Decent mini-arc, sad we didn't see Naruto though.
