| This was better than I expected. Unfortunately Matis didn't show up, but his existence was acknowledged and it's not like there's a new definitive leader. He just left someone else in charge of the Gym for a while. And Satoshi gave his first step towards Dande. That was one really cool battle too. I think that Gengar was defeated a bit too "easily" though. But to be fair he defeated that Raichu without breaking a sweat and that Marumine was amazing so I guess it's cool. I kind of miss Hibunny by the way, but I think I'm going to get used to Rabbifoot. Especially if he makes Gou want to get stronger. |

| Excellent episode! Both Gengar and Pikachu were awesome! Gengar just stopped a Volt Tackle without sweating lol And Ash's crazy tricks made him win with Pikachu once more xD Ash is starting very strong in his WC journey :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I'm sure Surge & other Gym Leaders are on the top rank of the world championships |
 |
| having a protege to fill in for Lt Surge was definitely a decision...but she’s cool too but hey continuity!!! im all for the idea of the classic gym leaders (as well as old acquaintances) to return as part of the championship series |

| Cool battle! Sweet references and details that show continuity are always a pleasure to watch :D... |
 |
| This episode was great and the fights were tactical xD It's nice to see Ash have some reputation and Gengar vs Raichu was amazing. |
| lmao the next ep is legit just the ditto ep again even has the same flaw as the original dito JFC |
| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| Nice episode with Ash winning the match. Gengar and Pikachu were both great. |

janiwolf said: This was a good episode. 7/10 for this one. The battle was entertaining but not great or anything. I'm Glad Raboot didn't leave after all. And It was good to see Gou catch a pokemon again. And It seems like Ash will battle Surge later on this series. Are you on Reddit too? :0 |
| I aways hated Pokemon tbh. I never gave it a chance after Ash lost 10 years ago in Sinnoah |

Enjoy it for what it is, this season is bringing alot of fanservice. You missed out on alot of legendary, well written moments and age doesn't matter.... his age will always be 10 because the target demographic is always going to be early teenagers. |

| Oh... now I didn't really expect this episode to actually talk about the past gym leaders Ash has faced. The continuity of the Pokemon anime has always been very vague so it's nice to know that they've finally acknowledged how far Ash has come and the many people that impacted his journey They also gave justice to just how powerful Gengar is. I'm pleased. Finally got to see an actual battle with the Voltorb/Electrode line instead of just self-destructing at the very first second. Although I did notice some inconsistency with the battle seeing as how Raichu's tail didn't affect Gengar at all (which I'm assuming is considered a normal/fighting-type move) so I also assumed Electrode tackling him like that would have the same effect but whatever. Overall, I really liked this episode a lot. |

| was really great to brought ash back to surge gym, too bad surge wasn't there. kinda expected a replay of pikachu vs raichu winning, but maybe because it's 2 pokemon battle, or ash is just much smarter than he was in season 1 insisting on pikachu. gengar was awesome, but by the fight vs electrode it seems he lack of battle experience. kinda weird that ep17 ended with raboot leaving and they haven't done much to continue it besides couple of hints. Dull_Lull said: since electrode used that magnetic field, it materialised gengar i think.Although I did notice some inconsistency with the battle seeing as how Raichu's tail didn't affect Gengar at all (which I'm assuming is considered a normal/fighting-type move) so I also assumed Electrode tackling him like that would have the same effect but whatever. or that gengar was much faster than raichu, but electrode using the field was much faster to make himself transept. |
