this has to be like the first time in like FOREVER (Gen1?) that they show off the trade machine.
the CotD Kricketune girl is actually fun and funny especially the way she gets yeeted by Pinsir and Heracross

Pinsir being the Hinata to Heracross’ Naruto is hilarious

This episode was so much fun, the Kricketune girl, and Pinsir falling in love with Heracross were hilarious XD. Apparently Morpeko is unofficially a "new member" of TR. Next week, Ash vs. Bea <3, :D...

This episode was a treat. Enjoyed the characters and bug pokemon introduced. Props on bringing pokemon trading machine back into the show.

Next episode seem to show the new gym leader of Galar, I love to see Ash interaction with her.

This ep was fine but the next episode is looking to be an insane one.

An episode for a bug type huh.. It was nice and really good though. Meanwhile, I didn't expect Pinsir to be a female 0_0

that krickitune girl was weird at first, but as the episode continued she got much better.

love those coronation matches coming without too much warning.

lol i always knew that pinsir had something weird about "her".
(she always had flowers in her hands)

goh got heracross, which is cool.

the team rocket part was hilarious.
ash: what are you doing?
well, for once they didn't do anything wrong.
i like them being more like supporting character but blown off without doing anything bad xD
and morpeko (?) being the new beware is great as it is.

As much as I use GTS in the games, I feel like if Pokemon were real I wouldn't be able to trade any of the ones I caught.

Ash spams Iron Tail way too much. It was especially cumbersome during a previous episode when Team Rocket had two water types out and Ash could've one-shotted them with a single Thunderbolt.

Goh catching a second Pinsir to trade for a Heracross, rather than letting that girl catch the Pinsir herself firsthand seems off-putting. I don't like it. It's like what scalpers do.

Trivia time:
The only way of getting a Farfetch'd in Red/Blue was through an in-game trade where you send a Spearow in exchange for a Farfetch'd named Dux (in Vermilion City no less), just like we see at the beginning of the episode. A Pokémon named Speary also makes an appearance in the house of an NPC in Viridian City.

Funny chapter, I like it when they give the Pokémon strong personalities like Pinsir's. Hope that it and Heracross don't get relegated to the massive pile of other Pokémon that Goh has.
