Great episode, so much nostalgia. One of the few cases where I feel like writing a review.
Lots of nice moments:
>Kiawe being afraid of the plane
>Brock interacting with a Vulpix again, even though it's now Lillie's Alolan one.
>Ash running to Brock and Brock seemingly doing the same... only to hit on the lady. Great as always And that's how Misty comes in...
>Misty's more cheery and less grumpy than OS
>The sequence in which Misty and Brock introduce themselves is awesome. And Misty's like "I'm the greatest beauty", then look at Lana's face
>The two Oaks reunite, Rotom be like :O
>Lillie getting excited with the Spearow, only for Mallow to tell her they're in Alola too
>Ash VS 30 Tauros
>Kiawe riding the Rapidash reminded me of that Safari zone race episode
>Kanto Ninetales and Alolan Vulpix, particularly cute as Vulpix isn't afraid of a Fire-type
>SQUIRTLE SQUAD AT OAK'S PLACE! Wish Ash's Squirtle had some time with him, though...
>Poor Kantonian Exeggutor
>Ash's Muk going for the hug; no one comments on the stench though, oh well can't have everything
>KIAWE PUTTING THE WIG ON DUGTRIO. So many cool Kiawe reactions this ep
>Togedemaru does its thing again, the whole thing with Pikachu and the 2 Marowak was cool
>The alone time Ash had with Misty and Brock, as well as their chat, was so nostalgic
>Ash's Bulbasaur, of course this one had to appear. It got a Hoenn episode to it, appeared in the last episode of BW too; it's probably the one of Ash's Pokemon they show most when he visits Oak anyway
>Misty running on the sight of Gyarados, Lana staying; so not expecting that from Misty, she was supposedly past her Gyarados fear
>Misty/Lana interactions are nice. I kinda wish Lana is the one who'll be using Z-Moves against Misty's Mega Gyarados next ep, but it will probably be Ash...
>Brock's afraid of Onix too? I like how Kiawe kept his cool and even tried to battle it with Turtonator, though
>More Lycanroc. I would normally not like it being thrown in every episode, but at least Misty/Brock get to see it this way
>Brock's Crobat, nice. Misty's Staryu, meh wish she'd use something else.
>SERIOUSLY, BEWEAR?! This is getting more and more amusing to watch Misty's line afterwards is cool, a nice twist to the usual "Ya na kanji"
>And Jigglypuff appears again! I've missed you so long, it's been since AG!
>Delia and Mimey, Delia/Litten interactions, Bulbasaur/Rowlet interactions
>And Mew. Whenever someone (in this case Rotom) is talking about not seeing Mew, Mew is ALWAYS there and ready to leave argh -_-
>Although there's an implication there that Rotom somehow scanned the legendary birds and Mewtwo?!
>Cerulean Gym looks cool. Ash is a bit too pumped to have a Gym Battle though... as if he doesn't have the Badge. But I guess this time he could actually earn it by winning a battle, unlike EP007.
Overall, of course the episode lacked a few things and some points were rushed, you can't fit in everything. But it gets a solid 9.5/10
Wish we'd get more than 2 episodes of this
