From Bulbapedia:

Ash and co. finally arrive at Nacrene City, and Iris is amazed at all the artwork displayed on the warehouses around the town. Cilan explains that Nacrene City is well known as the city of art and admiration because of the way the citizens essentially use their buildings as canvases. Though Ash is looking forward to his gym battle more than the artwork. Cilan informs him that the gym is within the city's museum and the team make their way to Ash's second gym challenge. However, when they arrive there is a sign outside informing them that the museum is closed. Ash tries to see if anyone is inside when Cilan notices a poster for a new exhibit that was scheduled to open that day, despite the museum being closed. Ash knocks on the door once more and a man is heard screaming from inside the museum.

Mods may close this thread until the episode's airing.​

So Iris likes abstract art. Superstition vs. logic. Largest Dragonite fossil, eh? There you have it, they said Cofagrigus. Now grow up. Ok, you can stop being all Mulder and Scully now. I like Lenora. Pretty good.
 
Oh, Cilan. You're cute, but kind of an idiot

Lenora has a good voice... it really brought peace to the museum when it all was gone wrong :D
 
Cilan was so annoying in this episode
 
Hmm... well, I like Lenora's voice. I did like how there was more Iris/Cilan clashing than the usual tired Iris/Ash routine (though of course she can't get by without calling him a kid at least once... stupid boring catchphrase needs to die). Not that we haven't had museum antics before, but spending the night in one was a pretty nice story element.

I'm also assuming Iris identified the Dragonite by going through Ash's Dex for non-Unovan Dragon-types. I thought most Unovans knew little about the regions outside theirs...?

At least Cilan seemed a little more comprehensible this episode. And seeing the sixth sense of Iris in action isn't actually all that convincing. Being in a museum surrounded by dead things would give anyone the chills.

Interesting Cofagrigus pronunciation. Obviously not wanting to put any emphasis on the "fag" part of its name, hurr.
 
So how was Lenora's voice? What did it sound like?

It's shame that Yamask hardly appeared in the episode.

Offtopic:

Bulbapedia says that Lenora has Watchog, herider and Lillipup, I thought Herdier is just her Lillipup that evolved.
 
Cilan tries to analyze the strange happenings so scientifically, when I think that as soon as this stuff began it would be much more reasonable to just assume it was being caused by a Pokémon.
 
I enjoyed this episode a lot. Though Cilan is reminding me of somebody.

I've for a long while been disappointed that they didn't add some extra comedy to the whole Iris' superstitious logic vs Cilan's scientific logic with Ash's "IT'S A FRICKIN' POKÉMON" :[

Then again, that would mostly make him right and we can't have that!

OH. DEAR. GOD. Please tell me that voice won't be used for James' Yamask.

Well, these days different Pokemon of the same species can sound differently. Usually it depends on their gender. Maybe James's Yamask will sound different.
 
Well James's Yamask's Japanese voice sounds differently compared to this Yamask's japanese voice, so yeah they might not have the same voice. Yamask was still cute in this episode. :)

Well, Iris is a Dragon trainer. She probably just knows about Dragonite and maybe all other Dragon-types. Although she was able to identify Pikachu in the second episode for some reason, so she couldn't have looked through Ash's Dex.

I really liked this episode. The only things that bothered me were Cilan's scientific reasoning and Yamask's voice.

I love Lenora! She's my favorite Unova Gym Leader.

This was one of the best episodes we've had it a while. I give it 10 points out of 10.
