This was pretty middling, dull, and vanilla overall, defiantly a step above the last Detective episode though.
-Yogiras appearing was nice to see, I think the Pokemon itself is a'ight and has a design that I always thought was eccentric in a cute way. I liked seeing it in the end sorta inspiring its friend to battle like that. Only thing that could have made the ending battle better was Kibago and Zuruggu VS. Yogiras and Kumashun. I enjoyed its battle with Zuruggu. Guess the multi-colored glow Sandstorm isn't just exclusive to Gantle. Bite and Hidden Power were executed nicely, I give props to the designers for having Yogiras use Hidden Power like that, since the move itself is borderlining on overused. I like how Yogiras made two small Hidden Power balls and combined em' like that when attacking. I liked the final attack with the two Dark-types.
-Zuruggu. It cool to see him battle, though I have to wonder whether or not Zuruggu's problem with Kiai Bullet/Focus Blast was solved/retconned. He had no problem hitting Yogiras square in the chest and aiming with the move. Either way I don't care since BW has already had its share of amiss and defected attacks.
-Mijumaru and Pochama continuing to be thirsting, still hoping this leads to a battle.
-Hikari referencing Takeshi was cool, it reminds me how much I miss his character and episodes when he had them. Kinda wish his ol' poisonous frog had got mentioned too. I now hope he appears at the WT Junior Cup. I imagine with all the fighting and hurt Pokemon walking around they might need him or something. Though that might just be wishful thinking. I hope we get flashbacks to other characters like Haruka, Masato, Kasumi, Mikuri, Nozomi, etc.
-Iris and Hikari's interactions, reactions, and face faults this episode were nice. I like how Iris screamed at Dento this time, causing him to temporarily sulk and for her to go all apologetic face there for a second. I also liked seeing Mr.Jack-of-all-trades pulling a spin and knocking Hikari out of the way when she got annoyed at his detective business. I guess people that are surprised at Dento's antics aren't more exclusive than the Garden of Eden.
-There's not much I can really say about the main plot of the episode, wasn't really interesting or engaging. Sadly, it burned up most of the time. Dento went detective and came up with a few crackpot theories on Kumashun, I wasn't too entertained at the sleuthing sommelier's deductions.
-Oh and the training match between the two swines...pigs...err...boars. I hope Mamoo ditches Hidden Power and/or Take Down eventually for something more interesting otherwise Ancient Power and Ice Shard are good. In particular I liked the way Ice Shard looked.
Yeah, it was a boring episode but it's little squeaky clean details like that that I can extract from the episode that gave me enjoyment. Speaking of which Dento needs a new capture. I'm tired of Iwaperesu and Maggyo. Iwaperesu and Maggyo mainly because of the lack of personalities. I think a Leafia or Pelliper or Monjara would be fitting.
