Gosh there’s so much I love about NS010. The way it has Satoshi act as an individual who knows about stuff before-hand related to Pokémon battling, like figuring out Gou’s description matching Dragon’s Dance. The way Gou finally has to use dozens and dozens of Pokéballs to catch one single Pokémon, and seems to actually regret it.

Honestly, from this point on I knew this episode was good and there was nothing that would make it worse for me. This was so freaking awesome after him having an ungodly luck with catching Pokémon left and right with no real effort. I loved this so, SO much!

And the fact Satoshi kinda cutely offers his pokeball but keeps this one face up even through Gou denying it just... asfjgfjsgh. Love it.

Even Rocket Gang finally showed why I adore them in this episode, saying lines like being afraid of brat boys stealing their targets lolololol Buffoons that’s not how they work-

This is just freaking brilliant, more of this please!

Satoshi bonding with a Hakuryu who ends up evolving for him is an absolute treat I didn’t have faith in happening, but some gut in me kept telling me that dude, preview showed Satoshi possibly bonding with Hakuryu, not Gou! I just wasn’t that impressed with the series so far that my faith was pretty much gone. Now it’s somewhat restored, but not fully!

it’s a shame it took 10 episodes to convince me on this series having any good episodes in it, but I guess that’s what happens when you actually start watching a show from the beginning without any form of binge-project. When last week’s episode had me feel down with how disappointed I was with the marketing around the episode and all, this episode had me go total 180. Well. The writer had been writing during Sun & Moon’s season 2, and they were among my favourites, so I’m not surprised totally!

And as a fellow Hakuryu/Dragonair fan, this is one of my fav screencaps now. So glad Satoshi got to bond with his new Kairyu when it was still a Hakuryu. My heart feels content ♥

Next week’s episode looks like fun as well to be honest, the moment I heard we’ll finally have a Koharu-focused episode, I was thrilled! And while the boys will have their role in the episode as well, Koharu is definitely having more screentime here. And as a fan of ghost-type themed episodes, I look forward to it! This Gengar looks crazed thou, wtf is happening to it?!?!

And Gou shouting Koharu’s name has me in joy, yes give me their friendship content!!!

Krhm. See ya next week, cuz I’m sure I’ll enjoy this episode to some degree!

Gou catching Dewgong is a very accurate representation of me playing Pokémon Go

Ok I tend to say twitter is a horrible place to lurk at because the fandom is absolutely horrible in there at times but.

Today?

Pokeani fandom on twitter is just fucking golden, everyone rejoicing in Satoshi catching a god-damn Dragonite and today’s episode blowing everyone’s expectations sky-high! lol

This is one of the rare moments when I’m glad to lurk on twitter!

SAJHGDAJHS.

According to Some-Stuff’s translator, Wailord in today’s episode only knew Splash!

I think Sakaki will be happy to be rid of it lolololololol

Gosh their twitter account is the best.

I'LL WRITE MORE LATER BUT TODAY'S POKEANI EP WAS ABSOLUTE. BEST!!!

Satoshi focus, Satoshi got Kairyu he bonded with first as Hakuryu, great fun usage of Rocket Gang, Satoshi showing WHY we love this idiot boi, aaahhhh this IS right now the best episode. Also, GOU ACTUALLY USED DOZENS OF BALLS TO CATCH SEEL WHATEVER, I AM SO HAPPY!

Krhm. Faith has been restored! Whoever wrote this ep deserves my respect!

We should be getting new episode titles either by the end of this week or by the end of next week. Along with staff lists for Pokeani 2019′s episodes 8 and 9. I do look forward to knowing whether Tomioka is writing the Ho-oh episode (since he originally wrote the Ho-oh legend episodes during Johto saga iirc), or if it’s being handled by someone else. I also can’t wait to learn what the hell the show’ll be doing after that episode, as we don’t know! Fingers crossed for something intriquing?
