The recent episode was pretty good. Really liked the strategy Ash used against Sawyer's aegislash to keep it in Attack Stance. Salamence vs Noivern was pretty intense and so was Ash Greninja vs Mega Sceptile. Only disappointing part was Goodra vs Surpluff, which ended similarly to Salamence vs Noivern, but without any of the intensity.

Do you know companies actually lose money by replacing a mascot?
Pokémon is gaining traction on the global market, it would be beyond stupid to change the face of the franchise marketing tool aka Ash and Pikachu when both have worldwide recognition.
No seriously, that is the most stupid thing any franchise that wants to bank on a global market utilizing nostalgia could do.
Indeed, the highlight for me was Pikachu vs Aegislash, I honestly dislike that they keep bide as an attack instead of something different.
Am I evil for thoroughly delighting in Sawyer's tears at the end?
Anyway this episode finally brought league-quality battles. I wish Aegislash had done a bit more but the strategy was otherwise awesome, and it was good to see Noivern stepping up. Greninja vs. Sceptile was obviously sick, I can't wait to see what Ash vs. Alain brings.

Not really seeing his "I'm screwed face" was glorious.
It's hard to believe this episode had only 1 key animator.
Lysandre (and Mairin) arrive to the Kalos League. Obviously to cheer on Alain, though I'm guessing Alain probably told Lysandre about Ash's Greninja and the Mega-like transformation it can do so goes to Ash and Greninja himself.
The preview for this week's episode showed Alain's full team.
Charizard X, Metagross, Tyranitar, Weavile, Bisharp, and.... Unfezant? Can't say I feel underwhelmed and disappointed with Unfezant. It just doesn't fit with the "edginess" and "power" of the rest of his team.
Interestingly enough, we see both full rosters bar Greninja in the preview, which implies a lot of quick battles or a lot of switching. If we're in for quick battles, I hope that means the entire 2nd part is dedicated to Ash-Greninja vs. Zard X, with animation quality on par with the Mega Sceptile fight last week. They might also be going for quick battles to save all the animation budget for the Greninja vs. Zard fight.
Edit: I just realized that Alain's team is almost a counterteam to Ash's:
- Tyranitar > Talonflame, Noivern, Pikachu
- Weavile > Noivern, Goodra, and Hawlucha to an extent
- Metagross > Noivern, Hawlucha, and Goodra (it doesn't know any fire attacks)
- Bisharp > Noivern, Goodra

Goodra didn't appear in the preview too ... Pikachu gonna rock and a lot of switch will happen ... Ash Greninja will be saved for the last battle and will manage to beat a tired Mega Char
Of course it will come down to Mega Charizard X vs. Ash-Greninja, with all the other mons in the respective teams downed. And yes, judging from the previous episodes (or what I heard of them), everything else will fall quickly so that they can shill Greninja and Charizard some more.
This Pikachu song is immensely popular in Japan right now.
Lots of iTunes downloads.
Probably a coincident with Pokemon GO's success.
If this song was released at a different time, it wouldn't have been so popular.
Is--is that what I think it is?! YES! It's KetchupShipping!
I'm gonna go rewatch the episode "Showdown In Dark City" again since this got brought up.

Holy shit. Holy. Shit!
These descriptions! Man, I don't think I've ever been so hyped for the evil team attack before! I think one of the reasons for this is that the Game version were very tame compared to the anime version of team flare.
Also, I really like how Bonnie and Clemont are getting serious roles in the Flare arc. What's Serena doing and why did they catch ash?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTION!!!
This new episode is pretty good. I am surprised of all things that get one shotted, it was Ttar by Pikachu.
I noticed that, with the exception of Metagross, it looked like Alain's Pokemon were nervous or weren't quite ready. It was most obvious on Weavile, as it sweated a bit as Noivern was coming in for the Dragon Claw, but Tyranitar and Bisharp's movements and reactions also looked sluggish. I got the sense that the animators wanted us to feel like Alain doesn't have the best sync with any of his Pokemon outside of Charizard (and maybe Metagross, which references his time with Steven). An interesting touch, and it makes sense considering how Alain has only been using his Charizard until now.
You could also tell that Alain is really itching to fight Ash's Greninja, which implies that the rest of his team outside of Charizard was just thrown on to reduce Ash's numbers as quickly as possible to force Zard X vs. Ash-Greninja. This makes sense given all the quick KOs and the blatant counterteaming on Alain's part.
Next week: giant, flaming rasenshuriken. Ash might actually win a league @_@

Yeah, I totally agree. I'm pretty sure Alain just used Charizard and Metagross in his other matches, so it really seemed like his other Pokemon were unprepared. Even if that's the case and that this match is gonna be decided between Charizard and Greninja, Pikachu gets my MVP vote for taking down two pseudo-legendaries by himself and getting a few shots in on Charizard.
Also, Unfezant vs. Talonflame was surprisingly hype af.

A small node, but all of Alain Pokémon lines where owned by previous rivals.
Ritchie had the zard line and Ttar line, trip had unfezant, Harrison and Morrison owned Metagross line, Weavile was owned by Vincent, you know that guy with the shiny Magneton, and Paul wich used his vs Cynthia.
Leaving only Bisharp alone as that one was owned by Georgia The dragon buster from unova, Ash did face her Pawniard.
Ash dousing Ttar and calming sandstorm was a huge fanservice moment to Kanto and Johto, Hawlucha was a nod to both Ramos and Korrina in finding his rhythm.
Fanservice is through the roof!

Well if Sun and Moon's story is how the leaks say (don't want to post spoilers) we may not have to worry about depowering Pikachu. As for Lysandre, you and me both.
Something that disappointed me about this episode was the fact that Alain showed little concern for his Pokemon when they were knocked out. I felt this devalued his character in a way, as he was shown to be a somewhat compassionate and caring character in the Mega-Evolution specials.
Despite that, I thought the recent episode was very good and I'm pretty excited for the next episode. Its very unpredictable whats going to happen this time around, as the battle could end up in either ash or Alain's favor (or team flare could just interrupt the whole thing).

That's the point, Ash rushes for the fallguy and Hawlucha cheered it on.
Its to showcase Ash qualities.
My money's on Alain simply because of the unspeakable amount of salt should Ash lose the league after getting -this- far.
Still, I'm not gonna be bothered if Ash wins the league after all those years.
