Speaking of the cave scene, why does Jessie sound a bit like James when Hawlucha kicks her in the face? I
What first seemed to be a normal filler actually turned out to be a really nice episode!
Not only did we get plenty of funny moments, e.g. Pumpkaboo and Inkay accidentially attacking their trainers or Meowth offering to teach people how to fly (Actuallly not such a bad idea at all, given how "good" they are at that!), but the episode was also action-packed and full of cool scenes. My most favorite ones were Hawlucha and Nobat fighting TRio in that cave and Frogadier wiping the floor with Team Rocket's Pokemon. His gestures and way of battling really looked badass and showed once again why he's probably Ash's coolest and strongest Pokemon at the moment (not taking Pikachu into consideration).
Again, a very nice episode. If Noibat actually gets to evolve remains to be seen but I really hope so because Gible would have deserved an evolution back then, too and Ash really needs a badass dragon.
Though, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable with the idea of Ash having three flying-type Pokemon now because it'll give him a massive type disadvantage. Let's see...
Apparently TPCI didn't want to give children the idea that Ash fathered a Noibat. Or I'll be fair and say it was lip-syncing issues though guardian would've made more sense. But maybe it isn't wrong, I mean it techincally isn't. Caregiver does make more sense in English than calling Ash a parent or guardian but it doesn't make sense within the context it was used.nstead of saying that Noibat sees Ash as its parent, it's now caregiver.
It was a good episode as a whole. I enjoyed the relationship between Hawlucha and Noibat, and Hawlucha being the bigger brother figure for him.
I can't help but think this won't stick, I see Noibat (or possibly when it becomes a Noivern, if it does), possibly being found by the person who had either left, or lost the egg there. Either that, or Ash is really going to have Noibat as his own. Ash keeping Noibat would still make sense though, as Ash was the first person it saw when it hatched (the Motherly/Fatherly bond lol).
I was cautious of them giving Ash all these dual flying types at first, but now I don't mind it, I still sometimes wonder why the writers did that though... was it that Goodra was too OP for them to keep in, or just to keep us interested for a few...? I hope, but also doubt, that Ash will at least have some rotation going on closer to the league, so we can see some old faces. Also would love to see Ash deal with mega evolution at some point in the future (possibly when Alain crosses over, who knows).
I give the episode a 8/10.
