This episode was actually VERY good. I didn't expect to care so much about this Banette's story, but here we are.

Also, next episode will feature ALL of Team Rocket's Pokémon?? That's gonna be really fun.

An episode featuring ghost types is either gonna be creepy or depressing as hell

Is Jupetta/Banette one of my favorite Pokemon now? Yes. Did this episode make me cry? Double Yes.

Looks like it might be Team Rockets final episode next week as well.

We'll see.

They did a good job of making Banette more interesting that the average POTD, but this episode felt like it aired 20 years too late; this would've made a decent AG saga episode instead.

The episode was still below average though. The sappy bullcrap ending that could be seen a mile away is exactly why I hate the anime sometimes. It's so damn predictable and every situation has a happy ending save for a couple of exceptions. And Latias continues to stalk Ash...

This is still a childrens show though, they aren't going to touch upon darker themes outside of Generations, Evolutions or The Origin.

I swear they had an older episode with one of the Joys in a similar story & it was emotional ... I mean most of the ghost Pokemon stories are emotional cause they are actually dead souls

Very good episode. I like ghost Pokemon backstories.

I wonder if Weezing and Arbok are going to make an appearance next week

A slightly sad yet sweet episode with the touching tale of a lost Banette trying to find its former owner. Arguably one of the best episodes this season I think, at least from an emotional and storytelling perspective. Just a solid standalone story all around. Only 3 episodes to go now and it looks like next week will be focused on Team Rocket. Hopefully we get some satisfying conclusions very soon.

after 1 hour of looking at the accessory stall, Misty finally picked a small heart hairtie lol it's cute so it's fine :D

someone was screaming so they ran there, just to find Jenny... and ofc that means, Brock must try his luck with her, just to get hit by the other 2
as per the episode preview, some pokemon has been scaring people and Gengar knows all about it
they figured out it's a Banette and has been stealing heart shaped items lol guess that one is in love
they don't go to weel on its head tho, not as good as the one in the picture at least, i wonder if the girl already died or if she just changed houses and forgot the doll

after eating dinner, they decided to go again... and they found the Banette, who dropped the picture, but went straight for another heart item, Misty's hairtie
Misty will just give it to him, she can find something else later
the idiot people who did the movings leaving the doll there... tbh the girl could probably take it with her herself lol
the girl in the photo moved far away, so ofc they won't find her that easily lol somehow they noticed Joy looks like the girl ... but now Banette is gone to the next town, talk about bad timing
and it's actually her, good thing Gengar saw where Banette went, and Dragonite is that fast at catching up with the train
yay what a nice reunion, everyone was crying
Latias is stalking again, after seeing how Ash keeps helping al the pokemon, including herself, she has to like him enough to join him lol

Brock was jealous of Banette LOL then he started looking at girls and Misty got mad again :D

dude, i hate this ending song ................. so bad

oh, the after credits is nice, Team Rocket's pokemons are all back
funny enough, after 25 years, they finally got a full team, how sad is that? LOL
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks

As a Toy Story lover you can imagine how weak I am to this type of stories... yep, massive feels.

So happy that they met again after so long! Also props to best boy Gengar for helping out, he sure knows the pain of having been abandoned, even if in Bannette's case it was just tragic bad luck.

Good episode, the reunion was nice and great to see Gengar, he had a similar situation of getting abandoned although for different reasons.

that reunion was sweet.

the next chapter is all team rocket pokemons reunited. I hope we get to see arbok and weezing, that would bring some tears.

Imagine if they had figured out early on that the house was old(it did look the part) and started inquiring about its previous owner. One of the first possible candidates they would have asked is either Jenny or Joy. Things would have been solved much faster.

Either way, Team Rocket special next week and it's cool to see their Pokemon return. They did form some amazing bonds back in the day. No Arbok or Weezing though :(

Another touching episode!

Although the fact that Banette came from the abandoned dolls always existed in the Dex, it was incredible that the anime referenced it so directly :0...

Literally ripped from Toy Story's Jessie, but it still is a very good episode. 
It's curious how they usually portrait ghost Pokémon always with a tragic backstory.

Panda wasn’t careful enough and left the poor doll behind.

I wonder why she never went back to look for him or her parents. I guess they didn’t care much since it was a doll.
