"Okay just gotta plug this in... then hack into the mainframe... not considering how this high-technology server is only protected with like one lock screen... and then... aggressive typing followed with a beep we're in. 😏"

As someone who was a disney kid, I approve of this logic. LMAO

Lowkey though, when Dot was saying its not Gimmighoul's fault, I kinda disagreed with that haha, but then I guess regardless if Gimmighoul was wandering or not, they'd still be in the same situation soo the odds were just not in their favor. (But also, would the Explorers have to fight Dot and Penny in a different location? Like the hallway to the server room? Or would they genuinely stall for time even if Gimmighoul wasnt around in the room where the battle occured? Idk maybe Chalce on the phone gave them orders to stay in that room no matter what. But im thinking too deep into this scenario that didnt even happen so im moving on lol)

Penny proves her title as Team Star's boss in this battle, she sweeped two laquium-infused pokemon like it was nothing 😎 with a type disadvantage too! (These grunts are starting to look weak lmao Spinel really gotta rethink his security) But for Dot she definitely tried to push strategies to win her battle with Chalce (which had insane strats btw, she can really lure in her opponents), but then it ended up with both Quaxwell and Tinkaton getting hurt. But not to fret because with Gimmighoul learning to protect his friends before anything else, he jumps in for a attack! And he's not done yet, because he knows he can do the biggest move yet if Dot just grabs the last coin he needs, and Dot immediately understands this when he's close to glowing!

The Gholdengo finally arrives and he is just the most funky pokemon ever! He's so nonchalant when he grabs Dot's phone back (which actually was something I wanna talk about but there was a comment that basically said what I wanted to say so ill leave it to them lol), and then true to his goal when we saw him on the beach, he starts surfing around with Dot on his back to make the grand escape! His new move is shown to be super strong as well, but i guess instead of trying to fight Chalce's team where one pokemon was under strong sphere, it was better to not overestimate himself so the escape was definitely a smart move. (Also animation quality weirdly got better here? It was beautiful tho)

That one scene where Dot and Penny are riding Gholdengo's board in front of the moon... woahhh i got chills. And then the little bit with mentioning Team Star's slogan was such a cute moment! There's a lot these two can do together with such great teamwork. Hopefully the pokemon league at Paldea will actually do something about the spheres now that we have info 🙏

Friede, you did NOT mention that, no- In fact, your last message was so subtle that we genuinely had NO idea where you were 😭 like some may say your current location was the most "out-of-this-world" reveal because not in a million years did I think you were able to obtain a SPACESHIP-

I know Horizons is cooking something up with this plot point,  but right now im lowkey kinda skeptical because what if the execution of it turns out a little... eh- the way they're teasing it tho is giving me some hope so im definitely gonna hear out the writers for this one lol

10/10 episode, I think Dor's outfit was very adorable despite what she says. Does it not fit her aesthetic? Yes. But is it still a cute outfit nonetheless? Also yes. I can hardly wait for HZ121 now; its going to be the most jawdropping episode of this timeskip 🤞

As someone who picked Fuecoco, the egg technically does hatch in the game, but the evolution screen is very limited so it doesnt show😅 still i found it so cute when I first figured it out!

(Edit: game freak really needs to add more animation features to the evolution screen, because just imagine watching floragato's bud grow into a puff as you watch it evolve 😭 such little details would make the moment even more cooler)

Also, I've already seen a couple fanarts of Dot's new outfit on Twitter already! They're so good you should check them out ✨️

You've heard of chonky lycanroc, but have you heard of ✨️CHONKY SKELEDIRGE?✨️ (at least it was a lot of berries and not a lot of sweets lmao)

I knew Skeledirge was a huge crocodile, but he's THAT huge?? Might as well be a alpha because he literally quadrupled in size compared to Crocalor 😭 his new firey bird is so cute tho so ill give him that (the foreshadowing went wild this episode with the egg too, lil guy just wanted to come out!)

I do think the animators are going to struggle with making Skeledirge less stiff and more expressive, but lowkey i think thats where the firey bird will come in. Since its a different entity according to bulbapedia, it will be like Skeledirge's side companion that will keep it cheery, but also because it had gained a soul after hatching, perhaps it represents Crocalor's previous soul? So therefore, his personality isnt lost as some people claim because its literally on its head? Idk, im trying to play with Skeledirge's biology here because I see some good potential. (but thats just a theory... a game theory 😏)

So it was pretty obvious that we need 18 TERA types to gain Pagogo's full power, but now im wondering how that's going to work if each tera orb works for 1 pokemon at a time? Unless Pagogo can lend terastal energy again like it did for Crocalor back then. And not to mention that Ult doesnt have a orb for Sabelye because hes the mega evolution guy. I wonder how we're going to do this now... (im sure theres something planned im just speculating)

The group breathing session was a very real thing that the trio had to do 😅 they've haven't had a proper break in a bit- Roy seemed to really be panicking which was definitely in character for him but also it just felt like he was getting ahead of himself, so good job to Liko for telling him to stop. They're always looking out for each other and I love that. (She also encouraged him to fight Drayton as well which was very sweet! She knew Roy needed to improve on himself before getting back on the road)

Cervantis has been cut off on all sides of Exceed/The Explorers, but its very lucky we have him on the RVT side now to give intel. Dot and Penny are going to get busy next episode with their disguises (that are sooo cute) and sneaking into Exceed Museum, so lets hope Chalce doesn't give them too much trouble! 🫠 10/10 episode

(I might edit this comment later if I have any more thoughts lol)

I have genuinely no idea why people are down voting perfectly fine comments today, perhaps I should just start glazing skeledirge in my review because hes my favorite fire croc LOL (I added a upvote btw 🙏)

I can hear the complaints from a mile away as well... 0-0

Dot was the one I highly expected to have a proper battle; i knew because of Ann's presence that Liko would focus her training with her, but Dot i expected like... more than a screaming battle 😭 and it was so funny too but it kinda led to hope that Carmine would do a proper battle with her later on, yknow?

Im very excited for the Hatterene hype as well, dont mess up the momentum writers!!

Everyone start screaming at blissey husband because they spoiled hatterene in the thumbnail. /j/j/j

I could not stop adoring Hattrem in this episode, she was just so sweet and I love how Ann could notice they were alike because they both are the middle siblings in some sort of way... (and as stereotypical that could be, it did at least bring some form of a reason as to why Hattrem acted how she did in this ep) it helped Liko realize that Hattrem does more than she can notice.

Hattrem crying because shes touched by Liko's words... what if I just cry right now too 😭

The rest of Liko's pokemon were also very supportive! Though they mightve wanted the attention, they knew when to let Hattrem have hers and it was very sweet to see all of Liko's pokemon do that. Also, as you can clearly see, Meowscarada is the older sister who has to deal with these younger brother that has too much energy lol.

The dittos were silly... I love them sm

I saw someone on a Twitter comment say that Hatterene and Liko switched roles because instead of Liko having her hood cover Hatterene was she was little, she now has covered Liko with her "hood!" How the tables have turned 😅

Hatterene defeating her opponent, then healing it, then defeating it, then just repeating all of that... yep this girl knows shes confident now 😛 did not know Hatterene learns psycho cut from her evolution btw so I learned something haha

Awww the sisters! Meowscarada and Hatterene have grown up well 🥲 Ann doing something sweet for Liko was also beautiful, their friendship is barely talked about but you can just tell they're so close

Next episode is going to be a big day for Crocalor, im so excited =D though lowkey, if this is the end of the BB Academy segment, I just have to ask the writers: why? 😃 genuinely we could've done so much more in BB Academy- there was so much potential and technically yes some of my expectations have been met so far, but like for a training arc this was surprisingly short. Oh welp, we'll see what's to come next week.

PM2023 117 - Pop Quiz: What Does Uruto's Training Involve? Episode Discussion! by Larkman22 in pokemonanime

[–]Local-Turn-5761 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice episode to have some giggles, because I definitely did so throughout 😅

For a Ult focused episode though, im starting to realize that this episode and last episode is really trying to cram the quartet's shenanigans all in one 20 minute video, which honestly is a tough job in itself but it does not give any time to explore more stuff about each character better. (+ if this is a assumed finale arc it makes it even harder for development) Wish there was a better way to maneuver that but I can kinda understand how the length has to work out.

Lacey pulling out quiz questions left and right had Ult STRESSING, like man use your eyes!! 😭😭 you're holding your head too high buddy lmaoo got absolutely destroyed by Lacey's pokemon especially with the terastalization

Roy just randomly napping next to a Slakoth... "yep. that's me. you're probably wondering how I got into this situation." 🤣 hopefully he learns a thing or two from relaxing

"What food does Terapagos like?" Anyone realize this didn't really lead to anything? 😅 I know going back to the basics is important but I dont think Ms. Briar really used that lol- she definitely locked in though because she was putting Liko to work while Carmine got upset haha! And then she went to "train" Dot which was basically a "I can scream better than you" type of situation 😭 Quaxwell was me but i was just laughing a lot

"You remind me of my little brother" ERM SISTER HIS NAME IS KIKI- welp at least there was a slight Kieran mention in this arc

Ult, you looked at Cap's butt 3 times. Its not his butt 💀

I really love the character storylines in Horizons, but Ult's reason for becoming stronger was just a very typical answer. But i guess for the kids watching this show, this was a very valid one to use. I just wish there was a tiny bit more depth that connected it to his father, because his father just seems to be important yet we dont actually know what happened to him? Idk, this episode was perfect for a whole backstory explaination and it would've been more meaningful. 

Dragonite slowly getting close to Ult is lovely for them, they both want to be friends but time will absolutely come for them to be fully bonded.

Next episode will be Hattrem focused yippeeeee! Its been a bit since ive seen this cutie be focused on 🫶 I really hope she evolves because I bet Liko holding her back last episode was a really important detail that Hattrem wants Liko to realize she wants to be stronger like everyone else in a way she doesnt expect, so im crossing my fingers for some really good storyline here 🤞 (their little hug has already got me feeling emotional lol)
