These kinds of episodes is what upsets me. Trapinch's evolution tree is pretty good. If Ash only caught one.

I still get upset at them dropping the ball with how awesome they could have made Heracross.

I don't know what episode you're on, but mine was the Once In a Mawile episode.
Anyway, this was a cute episode. I felt bad for Lombre/Ludicolo. Seems that Mawile only goes for dopey pokemon.

Ludicolo is awesome.

This was one of the best fillers of all time. And that battle animation was FIRE!!! I appreciate the animation style change as it showed one of the best battles animations, the gym battles do not have such animation.

What a mess of an episode. The episode writer somehow found a way to make me hate Mawile, which I didn't think would happen. Also Lombre was so damn boring but I'd rather have him around than Ludicolo's goofy ass.

basically they took the old formula of "ash meets a trainer with p'kmn > team rocker steals the pokemon > as rescue the pokemon", into the episodes formula of pokemon falling love in pokemon and brock lecturing about manhood, ending up with evolution to make the episode little more eventful. truly mess, but funny.

oh, can't forget mewoth imagination getting stronger each episode xDDD

First of all, amazing episode! Really funny and relatable with Takeshi and Ludicolo.

Second, what a incredible revamp the show has gotten! The art style and animation suddenly look so much better. Takeshi VS. Satoshi and the Team Rocket fights were so extremely well animated for no reason at all! Makes me wonder how more important fights will look in the future.

Finally, the new opening, Pokémon Symphonic Medley, is so, SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. I wish it also featured a rendition of Johto's "OK!", but it is a very good and emotional fanservice nonetheless. I had already started to love the Challenger OP, which I was mixed on at the beginning, but this is just as good! THERE WAS EVEN A NEW EYECATCH, replacing Groudon and Kyogre with Rayquaza! Presumably because Emerald was released at the time. What a great way for me to start 2024, with the Advanced Generation series looking better than ever!
