Review SM141: Final Battle! Satoshi VS Kukui!!

SM141 - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

Discuss the episode here.

 

[Singaporean]

Great episode for opening of the prophecy to finally see Ash facing Kukui. However, it will be great to see Ash's Torracat defeat Kukui's Incineroar. Nevertheless, next episode, will be even great.

Overall: B+

See, I'll told you so. That Burnet will faint after discovered that Kukui is Masked Royal.

Hopefully the fact Torracat and Incineroar were recalled will allow Torracat and Incineroar to be the final battle

 

[KenzeyEevee]

I got the creeps from Blast Burn bad memories

 

[Panky..]

I guess this is proof that none of Ash's Pokemon are officially released and he keeps the balls by which he can recall them if they choose to join him again. Bulbapedia needs some editing.

I'll need to wait for the subbed version to write a detailed review.

I don't even remember that you ever said that, sorry...

 

[BigDocFan]

To be fair, Ash was able to recall Squirtle, Charizard and Goodra into their Poke Balls after they said goodbye so its no real surprise

 

[Alola]

Ugh this episode was such a tease; the first part of the Ash vs. Paul 3-parter was more eventful.


Eagerly awaiting next week...again.

 

[BigDocFan]

I'm really hoping this is the start of a 3 part battle

 

[FinnishPokéFan92]

I'm wondering if the bell ringing and Blast Burn absorption were buildup for Torracat evolving.

I did wonder what was up with the bell ringing, hope Torracat does evolve

I wrote it on the page 3 of Episode 142. Before you quote it and reply to me in two week ago. Nonetheless, it happen so fast at the conclusion of Episode 140.

I think it was mentioned to be because of its fighting spirit, but I'm also hoping it being a hint towards evolution, which, based on the preview, won't probably happen next week.

Well if my hopes of a 3 episode battle are correct, it could happen in the third episode which could be the final battle of the match

With the difference being: All of them had human caretakers and as such are marked as in training instead released. Sun and Moon has set a different standard and confirmed for me something i already expected: Ash doesn't officially release, because that prevents other trainers from catching them.

Lycanroc grabbing a piece of that shattered Stone Edge for his attack reminds me of the time Ash's then-Krokorok used his repelled Stone Edge as melee weapons to beat Brycen's Beartic. I appreciate the little callback.

 

[Paulisthebest]

After "absorbing" that Blast Burn, why didn't Ash go for a full power Fire Blast or something? I mean seems like Torracat was wanting to release the absorbed flames into an even bigger attack or something...

 

[BigDocFan]

What annoys me is why didn't Ash have Torracat use Revenge, fighting type move against Fire/Dark type Incineroar would have been effective

 

[Emelie]

Imagine if Kukui had defeated Satoshi with Blast Burn and forced him to give back his trophy.

 

[KenzeyEevee]

There didn't happen much in this episode. Interesting to note that Trevenant also was a possibility in which Pokemon does Kukui send out in the episode
