Boy am I glad that Electro Ball is dead and buried - it's been a long time coming! Wish we'd had a little more foreshadowing (even a hint 1-2 episodes before would have been enough!) because as it was on the line of DEM... Given how strongly Mimikyu had dominated the first half of the battle, Pikachu winning so well felt pretty forced.
This was also not the only bullshit pulled in this episode. Do people in Pokeani world just not question anything? Why was Matori cool with the idea that they were going to use Z-moves to capture a common Kanto electric rat? Why was Acerola cool with the idea that the TRio were going to steal Pikachu? Why was Satoshi cool with the idea that his villainous stalkers have acquired a Z-ring?
Otherwise the episode suffered IMO from showing most of the best bits in the previews, namely the Fairy Z pose & the tail vs tail battle. Didn't hel that they pulled the first bit of the battle animation directly from SM 3. The only new and really awesome bit was the chase through the shelves, but that was pretty brief.
I'm glad they used Kiteruguma the way they did and I wonder whether its moment with Mimikyu was a reference to the implied prior acquaintance of the two?
Thumbs up also for Kojirou and Sonansu apparently now being glomp buddies - I noticed at least 3 scenes of the pair all over each other. It's about bloody time the two of them developed something resembling a relationship!
