Well, it was nice to finally see a battle whose result we geniunely not know. This whole series we always knew Ash was going to win and not even just because of leaks and magazines, just the presentation of the episodes alone. Here it actually felt like there were stakes for once.
I LOVE how they managed to not make it feel like a generic "Ash seems like he's about to lose at the beginning but then turns the tables and wins" thing, even though it totally is, but it felt like Ash was geniunely struggling to win and when he was surprised at the end it didn't feel pretentious or overly modest.
Anyway, that damn Togekiss... It perfectly captured what it feels like to battle a Togekiss in-game, lol.
To anyone who's mad that Cynthia lost, just a reminder that in the games she always loses to a child, and here the child has 20 years of experience unlike the games.
And I'm glad we have avoided another Alain situation. It's pretty much impossible from now on because I don't think people would mind it THAT much if Leon beat Ash, it seems like a 50/50, and Ash beating Cynthia was still a very satisfying achievement.
Geninja being like "did someone mention me?" was kind of funny imo.
