... I fully went into this storyline expecting to dislike it. To me, it felt a little trite to drag a former main character out for a silly little two-partner, then send them back on their merry way. And, of course, having that character be Misty, and having the story focus on Togepi, of all things, didn't help.
So it was a nice surprise to get a set of nicely-done episodes. Hm.
Hoenn's getting better, regarding the parting scenes. They're much better than any of Ash's farewell-scenes, being that they're not as overdone. It's harder to feel emotional, when you're trying to ignore a cheesy vocal song in the background. =/ Meanwhile, this was very simple, very powerful, and much more effective at getting the emotion across. Whoosh.
Gyarados. <3 So happy it wasn't something like that bloody Goldeen.
So yeah. Lovely set of episodes. That's how Misty should have been, when she was hanging around as a main character, and I'm glad she got a chance to really come through in these two eps. Shame Togetic had to leave just when it was getting interesting/useful/cool. ^^; But it's not like we would have seen it again very often, even if it had stayed. So, eh.
You know, you never realize just how much you miss seeing Brock get dragged around by his ear. ;_;
