This episode was...insanely boring.
On the bright side, I am still LOVING the relationship between Ash and Gou! I think it's great that there's some friction involved. I wonder what Gou meant when he said Ash was "one of those boys"...? I'm guessing maybe Gou had some friendship problems as a kid. I'd like to see them delve into that more in the future.
It was also nice to finally see Team Rocket! Their new motto animation is great, and I loved seeing Gou just utterly perplexed by them.
That was about all I liked about the episode. The "plot" was terrible. I honestly didn't really care about knowing what the Bulbadaur and Ivysaur were doing. They couldn't even set it up in an interesting fashion...like, they didn't make it seem all that mysterious. I don't know. It was just so bland and uninteresting.
Hopefully the professor's assistants have a greater role in the future, because right now, they seem straight up pointless.
And what was the point of dumping Rotom Dex for yet another Rotom...? I guess cause this one has no personality? I'd love to see an Alola episode where Rotom Dex literally pulls an "am I a joke to you" but we can't have nice things so that will never happen!
Also, add me to the list of people not really on board with the Team Rocket loaner program. The very idea we might get robbed of Team Rocket bonding with their own Pokémon is really unfortunate.
Hopefully this was just an off episode and not a sign of things to come.
