| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- ok the reverse decision was bs. and here we thought it was all "business as usual" for Ash lol.......Hau was robbed Kiawe is definitely a favorite to advance but Sophocles is putting work in surprisingly and might pull off an upset i lowkey hoped the PokeProblem answer was that match was canceled due to rain lol |

I'm really excited with Meltan I think its going to evolve into Melmetal in the next few episodes I so hated the sneaky tease the producers of the episode did with Mukroh when the Everstone fell out.. I totally thought he was going to evolve |

| Well that whole thing was a bunch of crap,can't believe it took that many eps for me to realize the stupid writing of how Satoshi should win a fight that he should easily have lost. Even children are not stupid enough to realize that whole thing was just an ass pull. |
 |
| Allow me to vent for a moment... What nonsense. That's not how feather dance works, that seemed more like substitute. Satoshi is always losing leagues so it's weird to say this, but he was favored here. Poor Hau, I don't see how falling asleep like that wasn't enough to disqualify Mokurou either. It's weird to feel like this when Mokurou is my absolute favorite, but I'm sad even though I saw it coming. I guess I should get emotionally ready to see Maamane defeating Kaki too then. I just hope Suiren will make Guzma wish he was battling someone else if only for a moment. |
 |
| Damn Rowlet, they really fooled me believing that Ash lost the league AGAIN! ahh sleep, that reminded me to the first league where Ash lost unfairly the league just because Charizard is lazing around. And yes, it is unfarily because as someone playing Pokemon Stadium as kid, I was already aware that sleeping is a common status in a Pokémon battle and is not the same to be fainted, so was just an lazy way to kick him out to send him to another region to the infinite. I'm very interesed about who is going to be Ash's next opponent. |
| Some buuuuuuuuulllsh*t. At that point, every Pokemon can just get hit and maybe just pretend to be asleep every time. I was ready for my son to go out, but not for some dumb crap like that. Actually I was DREADING this episode because I figured Hau would lose, but I started thinking like hey Maki Aikawa in Ace wo Nerae did something similar, not wanting to see her friend's match because she figured she was going to lose, but she was convinced that even if they lose it's still important to sport your friend in person. Remembering that, I sucked it up and stopped putting this episode off. wHAT A CRUDDY LOSS THOUGH! BUT he took it well and did a really great job. I'm really proud of him and I hope he keeps moving forward! I'd be really happy if Hau kept appearing for the rest of the anime. Please. :C Can you at least give him that, anime staff? |
| And from that day onwards Hau didn't visit his grandpa anymore. Yeah, that was hella bullshit, not that I ever expected Ash to lose against him so I was close to be surprised there, I guess that's a new way to use feather dance lmao. Other than that pretty fun episode, let's see how the other fight goes. |

Terrible episode. Pulling the sleeping gag in the middle of the tournament was in poor taste. Can you imagine how that came out in the production meeting? I mean come on, I know Satoshi is the always the underdog, but a stage one vs a stage three evolution? There's a line on how ridiculous of a hat trick you can pull. Not that it probably hasn't happened before, but I would like to give Hau some credit towards being a trainer. It's not like we see Mokuroh avidly participating in battle, beating ass, and getting stronger - we had to essentially dedicate a montage to it. And Featherdance? That's the clutch? He used it like a shield! Something I've been loving about the series up until now is seeing how they depict all the different moves and how their in-game abilities transfer to the anime's Pokemon world. Largely, they've done an excellent job! Kinda sloppy to start changing it up now - they didn't even address it's actual usage (I don't think). How does that get a pass when they're putting that shit together? The single battles too are killing it for me. There's hardly any tension when they're all lined up and we know they'll use they're signature Pokemon. We could have gotten a real three-on-three with Hau instead of that ass pull of a match. Altogether the Pokemon League is too simple, more akin to a bargain-bin version, or a mock battle for new trainers. Like playing pretend lol. |

| This was such a strange way to win, even by Ash's standards. I like Rowlet though, so I'm kinda happy for him. I'm not going to apply games logic here since by this point it's useless. rafi160 said: Nah man, Ash lost because Charizard refused to battle.

| Mokuroh is down. Brave Bird! Goddo Bird! Dat clash. They're both down. Ju'niper got back up. Satoshi lost! Hala interrupts. An objection? WTF! Mokuroh is sleeping? The battle resumes. Goddo Bird! WTF! Brave Bird! Satoshi won. WTF is Meltan doing? Hau. Dem tears. Mamane vs Kaki. Lizardon. Lizardon is trapped in that Spit Thread. Dat ending. Tsuzuku. lol Satoshi got saved. He shouldn't have won. Also, Satoshi vs Shota was better and can't be topped. Hau is a poor mans Shota. |
| 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). |
| though to be plot armour, i was so LOL by rowlet xD (though i knew ash wouldn't lose via spoilers) and no, though the cliffhanger of the last episode was good, soffuclease vs kiawe is pretty stupid since his bug pokemon will lose pretty easy by charizard who's a fire type, why should that z-move bug type hurt him?? i'm pretty guessing that ash's fights gonna be: vs gladion and then vs gozma, and his battles are all what i care here, as in all leagues (and from the obvious reason...) |
| Ash should have lost that. He accepted it too. But yeah Rowlett wasn't knocked out. It's sleeping. How did the Kahuna notice that. You could be cheap and say i won that! but you didn't knock it out so understandable hau. Rebattle to surely make sure its completely fainted. that was his goal to beat ash... resulted in haus lost so he didnt beat him. that sucks. Plot armor strikes at its finest. |
| One of my least favorite Sun and Moon episodes. The match should've ended as soon as the referee called it. What a bullcrap cop-out |
