| Was I the only one who heard those dugtrio singing the beginning of "the circle of life"? I mean these lyrics: Nants ingonyama bagithi baba! |

| Loved this episode. I am really liking the new character Gou. He's adorable and already liking his dynamic with Ash as sort of a rival/best friend. Gou might become my favorite traveling companion to date. The art style is also super cute and doesnt look like Sun and Moon at all. I am excited for what's to come from this series. |

| Haha Pokérap one more time! Also this look very interesting, can't wait to watch more! |
| Enjoying it a lot so far! Characters are charismatic and easy to get attached to them. Also loving every part where Yamper appears even if it's just in the background  |
(๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧ |
| I really like the new direction they are taking the story, it feels like this will be a updated version of the series up until now. I don't like how common the legionaries look so far though, it kinda steals the magic when you see one per episode so far. I really like Gou as a rival, his and Ash's friendship was a bit forced but the idea of two overly confident and aspiring trainers trying to one up each other is fun to watch. I'm really looking forward to this! |
| Oh! I had my doubts if this season was a reset but the very beginning with Alola's trophy confirmed this is indeed a continuation of SM. That explained Pikachu hurting Lugia a bit compared to the raid, showing the little Legendary Slayer he is xD But I wonder if that Lugia is the one from the movie? It implied that... I like the direction of this so far. We'll have to wait some time for the Galar stuff but in the meanwhile we can enjoy a kind of "nostalgic journey" :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Go seems like a fun character, tbh I like him already. So far both of the episode was nice, looking forward to the upcoming episodes. |
 |
| Ash becoming a prof assistant this time around and going to go around the world for exciting adventures, |
| Satoshi really sleeps like a log. lol His reaction when he first met Wanpachi was so cute though, but Wanpachi is even cutter, who wouldn't want to pet it? And I thought he would meet Koharu before meeting Gou, but she really just left his "corpse" back there without thinking twice. XD Lugia appearing out of nowhere was wild though, and that raid battle was cool. But the best part was the flight for sure. It seems Gou analyzes the technical stuff, while Satoshi is all about the feeling. They have a lot of potential as a duo. I can't believe Satoshi's mother left Barrierd there though, but it's even harder to believe that Gou didn't want one of those three precious beans as his starter pokémon because he wants it to be Mew. If I didn't know he was going to get a Hibanny I would worry a bit. lol I mean, Mew, if it happens, is going to be the "last step" of his journey, at least of his first one, not the "first step." xD Oh, and I liked the ED with the Pokémon Shiritori, but yeah, the OP is the winner here to me, I really love it. I already can't wait for the next episode! |

| I knew it!!!! When I heard the music I knew it was made by Yuuki Hayashi. The vibe it gives is the same as BnH or Haikyuu, this will be great |
Eventually, you'll fall into death's embrace anyway, so it's stupid to be bound by useless ideals.  |
| LOL when the girl just ignored Satoshi after her own pokemon shocked him :v indeed, pokemon is one of my favorite series (even if i ended up skipping sun and moon due to how behind the subs were)... no matter what they do i always enjoy it =D |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
winddevil1 said: even if i ended up skipping sun and moon due to how behind the subs were Some-Stuffs picked up fansubbing the series soon after PM fell behind (due to some IRL issues, and then they just didn't have interest/motivation to catch back up), and their releases were always very speedy. Anyway, I'd HIGHLY recommend checking out Sun & Moon still; my favorite series to-date, by far. |
Wow such a good episode. This Pokemon is shaping up to be a great series |
| Wild battle theme of Galar for a battle against Lugia in Kanto ? weird I guess the anime is different to the game, not a problem. Animation seems to be really good for the moment, especially during the Lugia ride, Ash meets Go, I see in the opening he's going to uses Scorbunny, it's a good choice between Sword & Shield starters, I don't know if I can expect to see some dynamax in the show. I also really appreciate the many S1 references, but Pikachu is back to lvl 5 I guess. Ending is also like the Pokérap lol. I'm looking forward to the next episode to see the Team Rocket |
 |
| Very good episode, the animation was wonderful |
 |
| Go is a boy, right? His character design is too damn girly lol. No traps or reverse traps I hope. I know I may sound a bit paranoid, but Japan made me like this T_T . |
 |
| This anime is so full of life and fantasy. The animation is outstanding! I haven't seen Pokemon since 3rd gen but damn, this is amazing. |

| Koharu ignoring Ash was hilarious xD |

| What a duo! Those two will be a ton of fun to watch together. That was such a nice episode for their meeting, both already had an unforgettable adventure together thanks to that Lugia, that took them for quite an amazing ride after connecting with Ash. I can't wait to see more! |

AoiHonoo said: Regarding PM, they reason they got behind is some people bailed, and they had to find new staff until recently. Well, not exactly – Adamant (who doee the bulk of the work) was sick and out of commission for half a year, and the rest of the staff weren't interested on working on the series as they weren't big fans of it. There are lots of people involved with PM, the site, etc. who don't work on the fansubs/show. :) |
| gou is best boi now, thank you for being cv daiking and thank you atr for the opening im still in love with it. great episode!! was really pretty! |
| A really enjoyable episode. |

It's not Gay if Go's a girl xDDD I'm thinking of shipping these two (just thinking, okay :p ) |

nazsa said: It's not Gay if Go's a girl xDDD Well, official website and character bios describe him as a 10 year old boy. I still headcanon him as NB though. :P |
| That is the catchiest ED in the world. |
| Fun episode! Beautifully animated, and with exciting music, also references to previous seasons and games. I hope that the dynamics between Ash and Go don't wear out so fast, and that the series maintains this good leve :D... |

| I stopped watching Pokemon After XYZ but knew about some stuff that happened in Alola from Twitter. This Season is The perfect Reintroduction I needed. The Episodes have been really fun until now.Seems like the Level reset didn't hit Ash and His Pikachu as hard as in other seasons (like when he got beat by a lvl 5 snvy) since he could take on Lugia Pretty well. My Only Question Now is, Is this Lugia the same as in Pokemon 2000 or was that a AU? Gou and Koharu are some of the better Companions Ash has had in a While. Or at least it seems like they will become that eventually. If Koharu had an Ekans and Gou had a Fighting type mon it would be perfect (References to Nadeko for HanaKana/Koharu and to Deku for Daiki/Gou). |

| I just can't stop watching (and listening to) that Lugia scene, Yuki Hayashi really is the GOAT. |
| Loving this season so far! Just like how Sun and Moon started to switch up the formula a bit, this one is taking it even further, and in a new and interesting way. Looks like the series will focus a lot on learning new information about all kinds of Pokemon, which explains Ash and Go traveling to many different regions. Definitely has a Pokemon Go style feel to it. Ash may not even do the Galar gym challenge this time, and I don't even mind it if he doesn't or doesn't do it for awhile. It looks like Go is very analytical when it comes to Pokemon, judging from his recording of Lugia's fin movements and feeling of it's skin. Ash on the other hand is much more in tune with Pokemon, connecting with them on an emotional level and through feelings. It's a very good combo with the two which will give us a lot of info through the Pokemon they'll be encountering. (Also poor Go totally isn't going to get Mew as his first Pokemon since it looks like he'll have Scorbunny lol). I'm really into this season, let's hope it keeps the excitement in full force. |
| I liked this episode a lot more than the first episode, which I found to be very messy. Everything feels a lot more... consistent. Hard to explain why I choose the word, but everything just flows better. However, I'm not a fan of how Go and Ash instantly become friends and rivals. That part just seems to be rushed. Hopefully, future episodes can develop their relationship better. The animation looks really good so I can look forward to that. |
| Okay this feel more like a real episode to me. It's still lacking in comedy, but it makes up for it by seeing all the Pokemon in bright colorful HD and the animation is pretty good too. It's starting to feel like an actual adventure now too which makes me happy. |

| I really disliked the first episode but this episode is very good. |
| Any fansub who uses the american names? |
| Kinda funny how they make Lugia speaking to Ash with telepathy sound like a big deal... Did no one remember the Lugia movie?... lol And "learn Mew's secret"? wha?.... did they also forgot the FIRST MOVIE???!!! Are you sure this is not a "reboot"?... they all somehow forgot every single movie events... ___ ___ ___ BTW, I just noticed, will Ash meet up with his old "released" pokemon? IE: Butterfree, Pigiot, etc etc... ___ __ ___ Also, Ash's mom as MILF as ever, giggles. |

| Hearing Deku's voice in a Pokemon anime is weird but I like it |
| I love the idea of this season, this looks different and that's really good for a long series like Pokémon. Wanna keep watching this! |
