Guys, would someone please tell me who won the Pikachu vs Tsujarta battle?

Seems like Ash is still angry when he loses to a main rival, just like with Paul. It never ends, but this time this loss in the battle wasn't his fault at all.

Here it is! The start of a new Era! 2-3 more years of Isshu, Isshu, and more Isshu!!!
Let's go over the basics, shall we?
Opening: An all CGI opening. That's a first! Is it any good? Well, it's certainly different. One thing you may notice going into the second episode is that, while here all the Pokemon are silhouetted in black, they slowly start to reveal themselves. As the show progresses, I'm betting it continuously gets updated to show all the new Isshu Pokemon. Pretty creative! Let's hope the dub does that.
The song was definitely pretty cool, if a bit tame. It'll need more disection as we move along. Tons of "Daijoubus!" though.
The episode: Pretty much the definition of a clean slate if you ask me. Ash, Delia, and Oak are the only characters we see returning (besides the villains) for the whole episode. We don't see or hear from any previous characters, which I think is a good stage to set. And it looks like the whole family will be chillin' in Isshu for now.
Rockets and Giovanni are back! Followed by mysterious secretary lady. Team Rocket may still be up to their old tricks, but they sure aren't making the same mistakes (not yet anyway).
The whole "Electrile Dysfunction" of Pikachu which I thought was going to be a major plot point in the series.... fixes itself pretty much just as quick (in the 2nd eppy). Soooo much for that!
All in all, the episode was setting the ground work for the rest of the series, so it may not be as exciting as some of the future ones. Though seeing Shuuti pick his Tsutarja over Mijumaru was probably the highlight.

Shouldn't Tracey have moved to Isshu as well?

Did Oak and Delia really move to Isshu!?

Advice to the writers for the 6th Gen:
1. Give a fair distribution of screentime and battles- no Pika-Hogging.
2. Give Ash as many Pokemon as you will bother with, and no more.
3. Evolution is nothing to be scared of. Especially evolve Starters, please!
Pikachu lost to a starter! It just tied with a legendary a few episodes back, I am so surprised by this!
Not really![]()
So Pikachu got zapped before the battle, then the loss is forgivable. Otherwise, it'll be a shame that Pikachu lost before the power reset.
Well, this episode gives us confirmation that Ash is STILL 10. Years in the pokemon world must be a long time >.>
Does it explicitly state ash is still 10 or are you assuming it from his childishness?

Probably not allowed to ask this, but does anyone know if you can watch it online yet, and if not when will it be available? Thanks

Awesome episode. The new Opening is nice. I don't think anyone but Pokemon were in it, which is a first isn't it?
Ash meets Shooti, they battle but it doesn't look like they battle that was shown in the preview, odd.
I remember people saying Shooti is confirmed to be like Paul...I didn't see anything Paul like in the episode.
Jessie, James, and Meowth had such a change in their character from the looks of things. Much more serious, I hope there is still some Team Rocket humor though.
I don't get why they're using characters from the last 13 years, but making a bad transition to the new season without explanations for things for the transitions, like going to Isshu, etc. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
Well it's possible that at the beginning Oak was explain everything but I can't understand Japanese. Either way I love how the show is actually faster paced. Really good not to fast not to slow. Let's hope they keep this up and this might actually become my favorite saga. I just hope the gym battles are more like AG as most of the DP gym battles were a little lackluster. The hearthome one was great though.
I freaking love Mijumaru already <3
That is all.
