It's a reference to how Shedinja is obtained in the games: when a Nincada evolves, its shed shell enters a spare Poké Ball and becomes a Shedinja, if the Trainer has room in their party.OK, feeling a bit confused here as to where the Shedinja came from as Goh never had a Nincada
The anime almost always ignores the rules of the games. M13 had the same thing, with a Bronzor using Psychic to lift a Zorua. Neither Bronzor nor Gengar can learn Miracle Eye in the games before the move was removed in SwSh and BDSP.Was a bit disappointed after seeing Faba have his Alakazam use Miracle Eye on Umbreon in Sun and Moon to use a Psychic attack to see Gengar's Psychic used to lift Absol
There’s not really much to say about this episode, aside from the music being nice? It’s one of the props I’ll give to Journeys. It felt a bit more engaging with the climax score.
Allister was quiet, but what’s new there. If they wanted to play up his mysterious and reserved nature, it probably would have been best if they introduced him around twenty episodes ago, not showing him disappearing, jut to reappear in the next episode. Kind of loses the infatuation part, having no real mystery to who he truly is. Maybe have fun with it and show him randomly popping up in corners of some episodes before we even meet him?
Otherwise, the only part I found a bit weird was Goh obtaining Shedinja. That’s not exactly how it works - you have to evolve a Nincada of your own, not a wild one, into a Ninjask, then the shaded skin leftover will pass onto the unoccupied Pokeball within the party, forming Shedinja. Goh didn’t even throw a Pokeball, let alone have a Nincada. Oh, what the hell, it’s the anime. It’ll get the complications of evolving Sycther right, but not this. I assume Goh had one Pokeball free in his party, allowing one Shedinja, whilst Ash had all six of his occupied? If that’s the case, how did they get that right, and not the fact you have to own a Nincada?
The spirit that possessed Ash.What was the green light that Gengar was holding BTW?
Part of Spiritomb, like the other ones which can be seen on its body.What was the green light that Gengar was holding BTW?
So it’s now gotten to the point where Go gets a free capture just for existing in the same space as a Pokémon without even needing to own said Pokémon to trigger its evolution mechanic. I swear, anything to give this kid a new dex entry.
Remember this is Goh we're talking about. The same kid who caught a sobble by just randomly throwing a pokeball at nothing. Of course there would of been a day were he caught a Pokemon by doing jack crap. Arceus.... Hopefully when he finally spits from Ash, we can stop seeing these crappy captures.So it’s now gotten to the point where Go gets a free capture just for existing in the same space as a Pokémon without even needing to own said Pokémon to trigger its evolution mechanic.
