This might be really petty and unfair of me, but...

Am I the only one who isn’t a fan of the colors on Ash’s Gengar?

It’s just, I dunno, too “soft” for my liking. The darker contrasts for other gengars just really sell it as a shadowy figure. Like, what point do the alternate colors serve? It’s not marketing anything, so...?

90 Process - Revival [PM016]

[toonstarterz]

This episode was more enjoyable than I was expecting. Ash catching Gengar wasn’t that unexpected, so it really boiled down to execution. And all things considered, it was really solid. 

That ghostly title card was a nice way to set the episode’s tone. This was an especially “cartoony” episode, with Ash’s “curse” making for some pretty good slapstick. Like things like the shaker spilling, and drinking from a vase were great.

As for Gengar’s backstory, it was absurd in the best way. That whole montage of Gengar waiting year after year was funny, depressing, and completely fitting. Team Rocket’s role was pretty basic, and the rest of the episode was pretty standard fare. Until we get to this line: 

“You don’t have to trust me right away. I trust you.”

And this is why Ash Ketchum is such a good trainer.

So there you have it, folks. A very solid episode to the roster. Ash captures a Gengar, and you know what? It’s really starting to grow on me, and for one reason:

It’s a tsundere.
