It could've been a Ditto. Or a Zorua.

Or an Inkay.
A transformed Ditto can say "Pikachu." If you ask a Pokémon if it's Pikachu and it says "Inkay!" or something else odd, though, there may be a problem, especially in the face of people mentioning a weird-looking, floating Pikachu that uses Psybeam.

True, but it's more of the fact that she actually asked a Pokemon a question. All she really needed to question was Ash, Serena, and Bonnie. Talking to the Pokemon to ask its identity just felt beyond idiotic, imo.
OK, here we go, my general thoughts....
GOOD POINTS
-After what seems like ages, we finally get to see Team Rocket doing something that doesn't feel tacked on or rushed. It's essentially a Team Rocket episode. And it's certainly an interesting premise.
-The whole "villains disguising themselves as the heroes" has been done many times before in cartoons and animes, but I'm not sure there's been one quite like this one - in nearly every other instance it's happened, people have fallen for the villains' disguises and not so much as given the heroes a chance to say anything (If anyone has seen the cartoon series The Powerpuff Girls and seen that one episode where a trio of, might I add, burly male robbers disguise themselves as the girls, you'll know what I mean), whereas here, it doesn't take long for the others to twig that the Ash, Serena and Bonnie right in front of them are not the same as those who were so disruptive earlier.
-Clemont. Just Clemont. From figuring out where Team Rocket was, to is infamous "invention explodes in his face" running gag.
-The machine's name. The fact that not only does Team Rocket not like Clemont's name for it (and lets face it, who does aside for the joke?) but they end up USING it...leading to this little line.
Bonnie: That's a dumb name.
Jessie: On that, we agree.
NOT SO GOOD POINTS
-Err....none, really. I guess the whole bit of Team Rocket constantly referring to themselves as the people they were disguised as felt a bit dragged out, but I guess that was kinda the point.
Overall, a nice little episode. Good to see Team Rocket doing something worthwhile. Too bad it looks like it might not last long.
