Other than the fact that the sketches of this episode were found long before its airing, there is literally NOTHING interesting in this episode. Obvious filler is obvious.
And Sandile's evolution isn't anything big, as it doesn't belong to anyone. And it never will. This evolution has crossed out the possibility of Ash catching him.
Also, I don't like the new evolution effect at all.
After 12 years of being a Pokemon fan, I'm officially quitting the fandom. This is not a rage quit and it has nothing to do with the Pokemon franchise. It's also NOT a sudden decision - I've planned it for months but I decided to stay a true, active Pokemon fan until the very last day. The reason for my leave is the fact that I'm starting my studies at the Uni and I decided that it's a perfect moment to move on with my life. I'll never forget all these awesome years and Pokemon will always be a part of my childhood memories. Goodbye friends! Thank you.
