Furthermore, after the Hoenn Anime, Cacturne didn't appear afterwards.

Perhaps due to a lack of interest in evolving James' Cacnea into a stronger form is why they straight up don't feature another Cacturne after Harley's Cacturne, or the one seen in Destiny Deoxys. At least we got to see more Cacnea in the Journeys and Horizons seasons later on.

Strangely, even after Misty’s Togepi evolved in Hoenn, the only time a Togetic ever appeared in the anime after that was in one Sinnoh episode.

The cruel irony is that they should have held onto Togetic a bit longer and just let Misty evolve it into a Togekiss since that Pokémon gets all the love and attention considering Dawn and later Cynthia have it.

Well, Misty wasn't going to come back as a regular cast member so wouldn't they have to bring her back for that? Back when Togepi evolved and left for Togepi Paradise, they wouldn't have known Togekiss was going to exist later.

The irony of hindsight coming on in, since Togekiss definitely wasn't an idea at the time.

Meanwhile, now Hatenna evolves into Hattrem.

James' Carnivine was also the only Carnivine ever seen in the anime. I know that there's probably less of an urge to show a Pokémon that a main character owned but it's still funny to be told about it.

Today, it's the literally too angry to die Pokemon.

Hatterem is certainly showing that tendency for violence that it's final form is known for. I wonder when Dot's pokemon will evolve, or if they will at all.

Also, why was Roy not using Kilowwattrel, who has a type advantage over Annihilape?

Those three doppelgänger kids who showed up at the start make me wonder if we just saw some early designs for Dot, Liko, and Roy.

It was said that Kilowattrel has been a little underused lately, I think. As for those three kids, maybe if the writers unveil those concept designs, maybe we'll know for sure. Maybe Dot's Pokemon will evolve eventually.

I certainly wasn't expecting to see a Hattrem knock three Annihilapes out cold in this episode.

It's definitely surprising, but Hattrem's showing some potential for the anger its final form is known for, and eager to dish it all out.

Turns out Gibeon is Amethio's grandfather, showing that the Explorers have a legacy too.

Remember the days when the anime only rarely showed E4 members, and it was not unusual for some of them to be completely skipped over by the end of the region?

The sole exception of course being the Sinnoh Elite Four. tongue

Yeah. Of course one thing that hasn't changed is that the heroes stand zero chance against them.

Liko, Roy, and Dot probably won't defeat any of the Elite Four, but they'll at least understand the Terastal stuff.

too bad no one is taking on larry. they could team up with larry against larry and he would have to keep running around the field to attack himself.

I do wonder who Liko, Roy, and Dot will end up battling among the Elite Four.

The battles have happened at last. Well, except Liko's, so far.

I don't follow the anime, so my only updates are when I run into clips...

...Rika's about to have a resurgence in popularity, isn't she? And people already loved her. From the clips I've seen, the anime captures her pretty much perfectly.

It's her alright, and she excels in battle against Liko.

Penny finally gets a proper introduction as well. I wonder if she'll keep her full game role, or if they'll just fold her into the Explorer's plot?

Today's episode seems to draw a connection between Area Zero and Rakua, like I'd theorized before. We'll see how that goes.
