Some comments:
- It's a shame that Litleo and Honedge debuted in this anime with generic COTDs. They didn't even get any focus, neither Ash or Serena didn't use their PokeDexes on them.
- It's a good thing that this Showcase had actual judges. Palermo didn't do anything in XY060 so the audience judged the contestants instead. At least this time, the contestants advanced this time based on skill as opposed to outright favoritism, except for the one contestant I point out below.
- The male judge, Soroto, is a Pokemon Connoisseur.
- Yes, it's Jessie. Even though she didn't advance because of her raw talent, I am still glad at the result because she won with teamwork. Meowth used his knowledge of Pokemon communication to understand which flavors and toppings the Pokemon judges - Mime Jr., Jigglypuff, and Furfrou - prefer. The human judges approved of Jessie's Pokepuffs only because their Pokemon loved them so much.
- With that said, I am surprised that Jessie didn't involve herself more in the free performance stage. In DP, all of her contest appeals centered around her; the Pokemon were the support. But this time Meowth was the main focus.
- One of Jessie's opponents in the Theme Performance - the redhead with the Psyduck - was seen in the last Showcase, which is a nice reference.
- Serena was called out after Jessie yet she was the last of the five contestants to perform in the Free Performance stage. Why?
- The Free Performances were okay. I wasn't a fan of any of them.
Overall, it's an okay episode.
