Ok so, I wanted to talk about this scene already a week ago, but because of tumblr crashing my posts, I no longer felt like doing any posts of this kind. Now, I feel like talking about it again. SO!

What I love about this scene is that it really shows what kind of impact Satoshi had on Suiren. There's no denying that Suiren and Satoshi are, in some form, best of friends, as they were always doing stuff together when Satoshi stayed in Alola, and always had fun dynamics between the two (their friendship is absolutely up there as one of my absolute favourites). I still remember back in SM065 when Ilima made his debut, Satoshi then told his Alolan friends for the first time that Pikachu is fine the way he is. That he won't evolve him. That appears to have stuck to Suiren. But there's also another line that seems to have stuck to her.

Ilima's "Simple is best". I still remember her repeating those lines in the PokéProblem segment as well. Even if it was refering to his simple pancake dish :D Either way!

Just like Ilima's Eevee, Suiren seemed to have decided that she won't be evolving Nagisa, as she feels he's fine the way he is. Akin to Satoshi's Pikachu. Which is why I so love that Suiren references Satoshi's Pikachu here. It shows the impact Satoshi had on her, like how he had an impact on everyone else in Alola as well.

It was a short scene, but I really liked how it was done. It gave Koharu one more option to think about (which I hope won't be the final choice because it's already done with Suiren, it'd be a repeat + most boring option), and just, really showcased once again how close friends Alola squad are to Satoshi. I love that so much.
