aaaw just when we believed that Litten will join to Ash's team.

Alolan Persian looks better animated than its 3D model one :p

They are using Serena's song... THEY NEVER FORGET! damn producers, u want to see the world burn

oooh a new movie! I guess that is for those kids who don't know why Pikachu is always with Ash at the beggining of a new season they don't know that Ash is an inmortal vampire. Still want to watch it :3

Meleotta shout out!

Anyway, decent episode. The world building is still continuing but considering this is Pokemon... They dont have to think about cours.
Litten not joining, how surprising. Will he join or will we see a different Litten later in the story. Pokemon usually leans towards the former but the latter would be more interesting.

That episode was quite nice to be honest. Episode 6 was unwatchable but this one was good. This is a side of Ash I really like and have been wanting to see. He's really kind and will withstand anything to do what is best for Pokemon and people around him.

I was a little bit disappointed because Litten didn't join his team just yet but it's most likely a matter of time. That's what the writers seem to point to at least. But what will happen to that Stoutland if Litten joins? Well, as soon as I saw him in the episode I knew Litten wasn't joining, at least not this episode.

Next episode focuses on Lillie, that's nice, she and Mallow are the only characters I like so far. After the Hala episode (9), it becomes more likely that Ash starts a journey, since he will know more about the trials and stuff. Hope he takes only one or two friends with him, if at all.

well if he was using crunchyroll or funimation they would already have it subbed first so it's obvious that he isnt using them

No, it's a big part of her character at the moment. She will probably warm up to the

Okay but I'm glad I didn't chose Litten. Touch my food and it's a problem; I don't care what it's for. I don't think I like this Litten.

Also, that Persian looks pretty stupid, to be honest. I've been trying to hold that back, but every time I see it I can't even take it seriously.

I assume Litten will come back, it will be interesting to see if he joins Satoshi or someone else...

Really? To me it sounded like "preciousssss" like it was after a ring or something ;D

Ah, Alolan Persian is a troll in every aspect xD Sweet episode, though.

But in the next episode they go to Lillie's house?! Er, from a Pokemon Sun/Moon player's perspective, this should be interesting o.o OMG I hope Gladion is there.

I was for the longest time trying to figure out what move Persian was using before finding out it was Power Gem, which strikes me as weird. It's a beam of light, but it's a Rock-type move.

Supposed it doesn't fit within the logic of the anime universe, but I can see why Litten was so easily bullied, being a tiny Fire-type and all.

Something tells me that Litten will become the ace of Ash's team, what with the "badass loner with all the character development" vibe they got going. Same thing happened with Froakie in the previous gen.

Funny reading the posts preceding mine in this thread and last episode's thread cuz I seem to feel differently than a lot of folks here. I loved last episode (my personal fav Sun & Moon ep so far) and wasn't super into this one. The more Pokemon-centric episodes have always been harder for me to get into. I liked the old woman at the market being so kind and generous with the Litten because that’s the Alola way, but otherwise felt like this episode wasn’t very interesting.
