I hope the narrator don't do these voices in the episode.
So can I considered this episode the worst ever? Considering Ash's Pokemon travelling through from Melemele to Ula Ula and head back from there. Making the whole journey of finding Ash meaningless...
Overall, this episode I gave it C+
Lusamine is evil after all!The Ultra Guardian medals must be super cursed or something because the moment someone puts them on, it immediately turns them super dumb.
Yeah, this whole episode is meh. I hope the dub version will remove the Narrator's voiceover Ash's Pokemon so they can add the subtitles of what they're saying which similar happened in the Giant Island episode of the original series.When I saw the preview for this I was expecting something good like They Might Not Be Giants! where Popplio, Rowlet and Litten got lost and had adventures together. Unfortunately that's not what was delivered in this instance. What we got was pretty generic filler that was like one of the more dull Pikachu shorts, only made worse by the fact that they thought having the narrator talk over all the Pokémon to translate instead of having subtitles like before was a good idea. It of course wasn't. I wouldn't call it as bad as the Komala episode by any means, but definitely one of the worst in a while, probably since Hapu's Grand Trial. I did appreciate that the narrator managed to come up with different voices for all the Pokémon, but sadly that didn't make the experience any less irritating.
I'd be surprised if they did, but they at least might get rid of the Pokémon's cries and just have the voices coming direct from them, presumably using their normal dub VAs rather than the narrator for the lot, so it might be at least a bit less annoying than it was here.Yeah, this whole episode is meh.

Yeah, I know what you're saying. I wish they could do such a thing in the dub version.I'd be surprised if they did, but they at least might get rid of the Pokémon's cries and just have the voices coming direct from them, presumably using their normal dub VAs rather than the narrator for the lot, so it might be at least a bit less annoying than it was here.
You got it, pal. This episode could have been better.Pikachu's Exciting Adventure! More like Pikachu's Boring Adventure!
Out of curiosity what are the other 4?There are five episodes throughout the entire show which I cannot think of any solid reason for them to exist- but the other 4, I can at least see why certain people might enjoy them. I guess kids might like this...
The narrator doing the voices killed this episode for me. There were like 2 parts where it was actually kinda funny, but overall it was pretty much just distracting.
Could have been a great episode otherwise. Here's hoping they release a version without the dub over.
There is actually at least one Pikachu short where the narrator dubs the Pokémon. Kinda reminded me of that. And not in a good way. As the great anime reviewer Suede once said, narrating obvious events breaks arguably the biggest rule in storytelling: "Show, don't tell." (He actually gave 4Kids props for removing the narrator in Pikachu's Rescue, BTW.) This episode could've just as easily been told without the narrator translating everything. It outright insults the intelligence of the people watching it, both young and old. As if we couldn't tell that Rowlet was worried about Meltan by it imitating it without the narrator. As if we couldn't figure out that Pikachu was hungry by him looking at Meltan eating. And so on and so on.When I saw the preview for this I was expecting something good like They Might Not Be Giants! where Popplio, Rowlet and Litten got lost and had adventures together.
