Some Team Flare action. Loved the variety of different animations used and some intense action indeed. Probably my new favourite episode of XYZ.

Glad to see that my prediction about Ash taking damage as Greninja did was correct. Seemed kinda obvious given that the transformation relies on the synchronization between the two.

Even Team Rocket were pretty good this episode as well. A great episode to end the year. Here's to what 2016 has to offer!

Holy shit, that was a great episode.

Zygarde defeated Team Flare with a single attack. And only at his 10% form, I can't imagine how powerful he'll be with his 100% form.
So Ash takes the damage that Greninja receives while fighting. That's interesting, I hope we'll have more clues about this eccentric evolution in the next episodes.
Seems like Ash and co will travel without Puni-chan for some time. Mmm, didn't see that coming.

Best XYZ episode so far.

I have a feeling if we do get Gen 7, we will be introduced to a new form of evolution, Synchro Evolution. Ash taking damage was interesting to see. I wonder if they will make Ash-Greninja's nasty side effects part of the story.

Zygarde 10% obliterates Team Flare.

I just watched this special episode that aired at the end of the year:

Subete no Nazo wo Tokiakase! Pocket Monster XY & Z Kanzen Master Special!!

It lasts 45 minutes and it's basically a recap of what we already know. The interesting thing about this though, are the last 3-4 minutes...it has a lot of information!

To think that's only 10% Of its power. (Dragon Ball Z thing is obvious but interesting nevertheless) I really didn't expect that Gekkouga(?)taking damage would effect Satoshi to be honest but it does prove there's actual bonding here. Satoshi better toughen up seriously because it seems very stamina draining indeed!

After the disappointment that was Best Wishes, it's nice to see they got their shit together with the XY Arc.

Interesting battle focused episode. Nice to see Team Flare! I guess we'll see Puni-chan slowly using more power throughout the season...

Zygarde was awesome at beating evil Team Flare!

That was quite an exciting episode!

All the action and Team Rocket having to help out Ash and Serena etc.


Ash's Greninja was awesome again and Ash taking the same damage is cool.

This episode was amazing!! Squishy totally wiped them out, and that's not even his final form! xD

Is the other Zygarde shiny??

Ash Greninja is back!! I didn't like the concept at first but now I think it's so cool!! I like how Ash gets hurt when Greninja gets hurt. It gave me flashbacks to when Ash challenged the Viridian Gym and had to battle Team Rocket and got zapped every time his Pokemon got hurt.

I hope they find Squishy soon! I'm sure the writers won't let a little girl keep a legendary Pokemon like Zygarde, but I'm hoping they surprise us and let him stick around. I don't think I can handle another Flabebe and Tyrantrum episode...(I can't help but think if they were planning on actually letting her keep him, Clemont would have used a Pokeball on it by now).

Oh and at the end when James said "This world belongs to Geovanni"
It really surprised me that he said that. We hardly ever hear his name mentioned anymore! They always just refer to him as "the boss". I can't even remember the last time they've said his name in the show. I kind of assumed it was because Giovanni doesn't make many appearances, so people who start with XY wouldn't get the reference to the old series. (If I remember correctly he appeared in a gen 5 episode but it's fuzzy) So it was really cool to me that he said that.

Flare Gang are back.

DAT ASS!

We got some Jewmanbolto's this episode.

Satoshi Gekkouga is back. So Satoshi becomes one with Gekkouga. Like Beyblade.

Squishy with the wan tann kill.

Run, Squishy. Escape from enslavement.

@BlackFox24 Rocket Gang(Team Rocket) say Sakaki's(Giovanni) name every time they mention him in the Japanese version. Must be an English dub thing.
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).

XYZ does seem to have a lot of action episodes so far. This one was great.

Loved Team Rocket here. And heh, they obviously weren't trying to "help out" the kids, it was the Pokemon version of a turf war between gangs. I know the dub likes to change things though. Team Flare doesn't seem to care at all about them, we'll see how that goes.

Also Team Rocket getting upset they weren't getting recognized lol.
