Not gonna lie I always figured if any reserves appeared it would be Kanto starters but if that was Ash's this was certainly a Boldore decision.

Can someone answer my two questions
1- What happened to Goh's magikarp ? Is it gone for good ?
2- Whose Boldore was that ? I am convinced it was Ash's
We shall call it Schrödinger's Boldore. Until there is any confirmation from the staff, it is simultaneously Ash’s and isn’t.I Like the way team rocket framed this episode, getting to see Diantha on the magazine and James’s Poke ball collection was great.
The rest of the episode...
I choose to believe Goh’s Magikarp was training against Ash’s Boldore at the beginning. YOU CAN’T PROVE IT WASN’T!
This. Absolutely this. Nothing could've prepared me for the absolute absurdity that was this episode. This episode somehow managed to transcend even Sun and Moon's level of wackiness, and that's a pretty high bar. You know how something can be so bad, it ends up looping back to becoming absolutely amazing? That's how I felt about this episode. I had significantly more fun watching this episode compared to some others in the series like episode 8 (the Sinnoh racing episode) and episode 9 (the Ho-Oh episode).This was the weirdest, most experimental Pokémon episode in like forever and I'm all for it.
Like it wasn't amazing by any means, but I'd rather have something as wacky as this over some bland garbage "help the CotD" type of filler we're so used to by now.
Good thing none of those happened.The only joke that I really disliked in this episode was Ash and Gou casually abandoning Magikarp as it just aimlessly drifts in space for the sake of a gag.
Okay, I was expecting some decent filler at best, not this. I wasn't expecting...
THE BEST POKÉMON EPISODE CREATED SINCE DP142!
Some people claim that this episode is not for everybody because of its "japanese kind of humor." Some people also say that this episode is "for children." As a non-japanese adult, I say NO to both of these claims. This was one of the funniest pokémon episodes ever. It wasn't anymore "childish" than most episodes, and it's humor was international.
With the power of Netflix, you now can and without the entire week worth of time lost (thank God this episode didn’t air as an episode count that is a multiple of 12 or even Netflix couldn’t help us).Let's pretend that this episode never happened.
This was literally the worst episode of the series till date. But why was team rocket stuff included, what it did to the episode?
I bet this guy does deliveries:Slowking's inexplicable love for ramen/udon (how did it get its hands on a bowl of udon in the first place?)

YES, ABSOLUTELY YES.would you have rather had two full episodes devoted to these plots?
Apparently the TR scenes had some Alola references.

Ash probably thought, it would return once it was hungryThe only joke that I really disliked in this episode was Ash and Gou casually abandoning Magikarp as it just aimlessly drifts in space for the sake of a gag.

In an alternate world, this is what they would mean by "Pikachu being an ace of Ash's many Pokémon."
