Palpitoad defeats Darumaka in literally less than five seconds. Huh. That was a bizarrely interesting design for Dino and a suspenseful To Be Continued wasted on absolutely nothing. I mean
what was the point of that?
WHAT!? Are you f***ing SERIOUS!? You have GOT to be kidding me! I honestly can't believe Dino lost with his unevolved pokémon at a 4x type disadvantage to Ash's Palpitoad.
I honestly dont know what he expected - though Ill agree that Biancas ability to create that much clothing in like two minutes is surprisingly. Bianca, for her part, continues trying to convince Zorua to be her pokemon, to a point where it becomes clear she only wants Zorua because the writers had no idea what to do with her during this tournament after her loss.
I find it surprisingly that you're making excuses for Bianca after these last few episodes. I had officially grown tired of her after this.
Pikachu versus Axe-- Excadrill?! That's just mean, Iris.
Yeah, that struck me as rather cheap too. At this point Pikachu had what, two electric type moves, one steel type, and one normal type? Yeah, this battle was over before it even started. But I was happy enough seeing a main character other than Ash win a non-beauty-themed competition, so whatever.
