Yes... There wouldn't be replies in the episode threads, if no one watch it. It's one of the best Pokémon seasons, or maybe the best.

a very good episode took me back to how pokemon used to be, very simple but emotional with it's master and pokemon pair themes. this ep has it's flaws like gou that dude's existence is a flaw but a great ep .8/10

Cynthia is my favorite champion and even Goh who isn't that interested in battles knows about her, great.
Poor Cleffa, didn't notice the plot was similar to the third movie until the episode was already ending but it was well done.

This season is beautiful in many ways!

-Satoshi being recognized as a champion and traveling all over the world.
-Goh resuming the original goal; "Gotta catch 'em all!"
-High quality animation and sound.
-So many friends comebacks.

Geez, it's a struggling experience when death is the actual topic in the episode :'C

Cynthia did an appearance in this season but a kinda introductory one. I guess it'll be more developed the day Ash battles her (who knows when lol). Also, nice nod to the third movie, the whole Unown stuff :P

Recent episodes were a bit subpar but this one was fantastic. And emotional too.
Also I always loved how the Unowns are just chaotic neutral.

I'll be honest , I'll be that one person who is nitpicky. Okay i didn't like this episode or most episodes from this season. it feels so random and fast. (I'm also watching some old seasons, they just don't feel the same) // Why does ash travel to another region like it's nothing all the time. It gets on my nerve when they're like: Problems in Johto? okay lets go. Something is happening is Unova? Aight i will be there right NOOOOWWWW. Why is the main professor studying other regions problems. What about that regions own professors like professor elm or professor Oak. the story directions all over the place and isn't focus on one.

And Goh , " hey murkrow want to come with us? OK Go pokeball!!!! "
Murkrow: "wait what?" (captured by Goh + no battle) chill goh. Goh, He's a pokemon hunter catching pokemon without their consent. He should be fined or taken to pokemon jail.
/
About Unown: Since when can the Unown change the weather or make it an endless night I want one like that too, ! OP. Also the ability to create illusions and battle ready pokemons. All they know is hidden power and maybe to warp space in another dimension. But not to make endless night. (Maybe they can make illusions , i just remembered about the movie Unown with Entei , !BUT not make it endless night) what power is that.
How did nobody figure it out it was Unown though and Ash and Goh did. Where are the genius at investing this. ( they can't figure it out because they don't know it can make an enless night ) PLOT convenience.

Not all was bad tho , i did enjoy the fight scenes and Cynthia cameo.
but i didnt like how pikachu was [super] buddy buddy with cynthia like they were BFFs. (ohh how i misses you sooo muchhh)
thats the vibe i got ^.

Basically to summarise i dont like the direction of the plot because its too random and forced . (sry for the rant) but it had some good parts though. i wish it focused on one particular thing instead all around. but i guess it's the theme of this season. not a big fan of it.

Actually, Unown can bend reality canonically (like, in the pokedex and in the lore). That's why they are like the "tools" Arceus used to create the world.

For me, it's the best Pokémon season since the first one (it's probably THE best overall, but I still have nostalgic feelings for Ash, Brock and Misty travelling through Kanto).

Yeah, this series got some bangers from time to time, but in a different way from old school Pokemon.

This was surprisingly emotional and extremely unusual that an episode deals with death.

Emotional episode, but also some cool fanservice with the Unknown and the replica Pokemon, playing off the 3rd movie.

Has no one in this place heard of a clock?

I wasn't aware that Unown could just spell things out and make them happen. That seems concerning. Imagine if they just followed people around and spelled out D-E-A-T-H.

Oh man it's the Entei movie all over again. Unown really like granting the twisted wishes of sad lonely children don't they?

Cute that the ones that appeared for this perma-night wish were N-I-G-H-T

This episode hit out of nowhere and addressed a serious theme which is largely absent from the pokemon universe. Also reintroduced a very popular character who shows off some skill. Overall a great episode which I was glad I didn't skip.
