To be fair, if Pikachu was the fall guy in this ep, wouldn't people have complained about his power being reset?
Just a thought.

...that was the entire point. He was attempting to do things differently (and more "intelligently"), panicked when his plans got countered and he was unable to come up with a replacement strategy, and lost. Twice. Eventually he went back to his standard "go with the flow and improvise" style, and won.
Deliberately trying to do things differently, failing, then succeeding when doing things your own way is not being out of character.
Why was Pikachu sulky, though? Had Ash given a reason why he didn't want to use him?
From what I can infer, I think it's because he knows Ash is going against the grain of his usual tactics, and would much rather have Ash go with his gut, rather than try to use strategy? That's what I believe, from what people say about the ep.

I'm also a little disappointed that Palpitoad was confirmed male. It's not like I actually expected it to be female prior to this episode, but the writers got my hopes up when Ash thought Snivy's attract would work on Emolga. The "male by default" stance on this show has always bugged me. We've had a few gender-ambiguous Pokemon that turned out to be female, but it's pretty rare. Most of the time, Pokemon are only female if their personalities are overtly cutesy or feminine, which just doesn't sit right with me.
The same music Arti had (a remix of Cheren's theme) is used when we see Elesa. CLEARLY this means that Arti and Kamitsure are the same person. Prove me wrong.
