I remained silent about Barrierd on here because I didn’t want it to affect my overall impression on the episode, and considering how I felt about Kapu-Kokeko being Kukui’s last Pokémon, I decided to go with an open mind. I REALLY hope Satoshi explained why he took Barrierd as his second ‘mon, but either way, he ended up being lots of fun, and the moment he was up against a dark-type he wimped out LOL. I... I think I like our Barri-chan now. And he now has an official ball, is it Hanako’s or did Satoshi freaking steal his mom’s ‘mon wtf am I supposed to think of this implication????

Anywho... the supposed jerk of the ep wasn’t a jerk but actually a nice guy with a jerky look, who somehow ticked Gou by calling him cute. He’s definitely a boy, not a girl in disguise like some weird theory’s been going around LOL. And Satoshi remains undefeated. And Electroweb remains the best Pikachu move ever I SWEAR! But it remained mainly Gou focus, Satoshi’s part of the ep was to show how amazing Barri-chan is and how he is still a champ. Thou not mentioned as one, I need a mention pleaaaaaase D: Also, really annoyed by the Tournament being called Battle Frontier when it indeed had nothing to do with it. Even the prize was just.... stuff. Nothing of interest. A shame.

This was a good ep overall, still annoyed by Gou catching Pokémon left and right without battling or actually being shown to catch them, but I guess he really is a GO player type. Gotta try to adjust to that idea and just accept it.
