Holy shit what an episode. That music was a banger too. I can't wait for next week to roll around.
I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to type here.

This Arc is godly, the music was godly like a epic final boss. Its crazy that alternate world hikari/dawn is 2nd place trainer in Sinnoh & she got the league trophies. Alternate World team rocket is pure evil I'm pretty sure this is also the same world we saw with Dia & Zeraora in Sun Moon special. that end was such a tease, anyone actually notice Alternate Satoshi is actually taller

Oh great! A Sinnoh double episode to commemorate the release of BDSP, and the idea of parallel universes and time distortion because of Dialga and Palkia is great and we're getting more of Dawn and Cynthia! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the 2nd part next week

Space-Time shenanigans to celebrate BDSP, awesome!

Dialga and Palkia, they really need to do more than just headbutting each other. Team Rocket gets their hands on the Red Chain; are they the Team Galactic of the alternate universe?

Pokemon deaging and forgetting their moves is quite crazy. Cynthia(BG) returns and as expected, is no pushover even when Garchomp forgets its moves. Also, it seems like Chloe likes reading isekai novels.

Damn, great episode. I guess this is what happens when you give Team Rocket a budget

lol if only team rocket was always like this, i wouldn't have to bitch about them or skip parts of episodes when they appear lmao

always fun to watch stuff where we have the same charas from 2 different worlds meet like this,
but too bad everything going back to their baby form, not sure how i feel about that tbh
favorite "new girls" from fall 2024 <3 (yeah i didn't watch much in 2025...) ... click sig for older seasons

I really enjoyed this episode, the soundtrack was very good. I wish Dawn and Ash had gone to the Otherworld together before, as they already knew each other, but that doesn't matter. I hope the next episode has the level of this one or is even better.

This episode was sooo good. Team rocket was OP . That slash meowth i was like dang .
if only our team rocket was like that (idm tho).
When they were talking about who can create gates (or was it dimensions? i forgot)
i was like "Hoopa can , its hoopa! " wrong. Palkia. Dang.
So in that alt dimension Dawn takes on the pokemon league im guessing. and ranked 2nd.
Cynthia makes a comeback with a new pokemon (via anime that we didnt know she had)

Ash meets his dup. Reminds me of that one Episode from XY when ash went in another world and meets his cry baby self.

Kinda scary stuff happening. all the mons are devolving.

this episode was a 10.

Even if this version of Team Rocket is competent. You can't tell me Meowth can fight on par with Cynthia's Garchomp. Be reasonable.

If nothing else, at least this story has an interesting concept. Yet, the last thing we need is another Ash. Unless, is this one actually competent?

Awesome episode!! Great to see the return to Diamond and Pearl stories with Dialga and Palkia messing up the spacetime continuum. Loved seeing the copies of all of the characters and interacting with themselves, even if its a storyline done to death in the past. Looking forward to part 2.

wow, the art in this episode, basically art for a movie rather than the tv series.

so, what we had here?
we got dawn back, alright.
wait, cynthia? what is she doing here? is she just following ash group?

while most of the mysteries in this episode are pretty obvious, as team rocket of the other dimension controlling dialga and palkia. in the end of this episode, there wasn't something serious they had done to prevent that. just pure fanservice. lol

Fantastic episode, even though we've already seen Dialga and Palkia duke it out before and causing issues with time and space.
That said loved seeing how serious and collected the alternate Team Rocket is compared to the usual Team Rocket we know x)
Really fun episode for sure.
