OMG, that was an intense episode

Team Rocket's appearance was as pointless as ever

 

[Singaporean]

One of the hype episode. Unfortunately. It short. Awaiting for the next one, in which will be epic battle of Ash vs Lusamine fuse with Nihilego for the climatic ending the game of Sun & Moon.

 

[BraixenFennekin]

I really loved this episode, Nebby evolved into Solgaleo.

 

[BigDocFan]

Was brilliant to see Professor Kukui using a Braviary

I was a bit surprised Bewear didn't shoot off into that wormhole with Team Rocket. T'would've been nice for them to be apart of this. They're appearing next week, so this would have been there best chance to be a part of this fight, attack some Ultra Beasts, or at least witness the events.

The music was so perfect in this episode. It really sold me on the mystic atmosphere of what's happening.

 

[Hassel]

Really cool that Kukui has a Pokémon! Maybe he even has a full team?

I suppose everything will be unlocked in the late December due to the stuff related to Ultra Sun and Moon which is going around here.

Wonder how long he's had it for and if Ash knows he had one

Maybe the whole time and I'd day no. He never outright said Rockruff was his and laughed at the fact that people thought it was his in SM015's Poke Problem. He probably likes hiding things.

And AGAIN, Tapu Koko teaches Ash a Z-Move. This time, Steelium Z.

So, are they going to that Ultra wormhole? I bet the dub would edit out Wobbuffet's soul coming out of its body.

I find it surprisingly boring. They didn't really need a whole episode to show Hoshigumo's evolution and Satoshi's new Z-Ring. Half of the episode is spent with filler scenes like Kukui's saving the damsel in distress act, Totems' showing off their dance skills, and Team Rocket is pokeblocked again by Kiteruguma.

 

[Kirby4ever]

It's a wonderful episode, I like how the Tapus shows everyone how Nebby came into the world and how Ash met him for the first time.

First half was meh imo but certainly not the worst when it comes to pointless scenes especially in SM. I was a bit confused by the Tapus creating a large projection, mostly because it showed Solgaleo and Lunala creating Nebby but then sending it away with the Tapus but at the same time Solgaleo and Lunala remained where they were. My question is, is Nebby a second Solgaleo or like just an extension of it? Maybe its just an empty vessel like to just summon Solgaleo or Lunala when it 'evolves'. That really confused me.
Other than that, I called the Tapus making the old Z ring into the new one and everything else was okay. Kukui helping his waifu was 100 though and he looks like a hella strong trainer, can't wait for Ash to battle him hopefully.

I never thought Kukui would have a Braviary. Not only is he a teacher of the Pokemon School, but I see he is also a Pokemon trainer.
