![]() Before I dive into talking about these first two episodes that start his arc, I want to clarify something: I believe the Goomy arc is a good arc.but it is rushed. This blob is Goomy, the weakest Dragon type, and this is the start of his arc. Goomy: Emotional character arc, but rushed as hellĬontinuing on the road to Coumarine City, the gang is excited for their Gym Battle and Showcase there (to a degree with the trek), when Ash is suddenly hit in the head by a big blob. This is a hint at an upcoming rival that will be taking after Ash, and it's a little hint that the end of the rivalry with Clemont will open the door to another. However, the one aspect I want to give the most attention to is that of the young boy with a Treecko that is following in Ash's footsteps. Likewise, we know Serena is about to start her Performance career, and that Ash will catch a Goomy and it's going to be evolving very quickly. I'll tackle it again in Part 5, but for now, I just want to talk about what can be gleaned from it.įor one thing, it plays very heavily on the fact that the ultimate settling match with Clemont is about to happen, and that this opening will carry us through the seventh Gym Battle. Why? Because unlike Volt and Mega Volt, this opening really gives some small tidbits and hints for what's to come in the story. I'd like to take a quick moment before the next section to talk about the new opening that starts with this set of episodes. The new OP hints at the Gym Battles to come.Ī new character emerges, following after Ash. As it stands though, this is still a most enjoyable episode, and one worth talking about. Granting, the episode also feels like it could end there, but it would have been cool if they'd had the time to give them a return episode. Now, of course, the episode ends with a light cliffhanger that the Malamar will return.but they don't. In terms of connectivity, the episode offers little, but when it comes to character development and relationships, this is bar none the best episode for TRio in a long time. Last time was Ash and Pikachu, but this is James and Inkay and its glorious that it is this relationship that stops the Malamar cold because they're able to spur the peaceful Malamar into action. It's this relationship that forms the crux of the episode, with Inkay wanting to avenge James, while James clearly adores Inkay, even keeping a stock of croissants on hand. That we have what are essentially the less-focused characters left as the only ones to act is an awesome thing, especially when it comes to showcasing the bond formed between James and Inkay. This bond is what forms the basis of this awesome episode. ![]() It's dastardly, and a plan they can certainly carry out, going as far as capturing all of the characters but Clemont, James, Meowth and Inkay, who's furious towards the Malamar. On their trail is the Officer Jenny from last time (about the most useful one), who has an idea of what their plan is: create the world to their own liking. #Pikachu xy gif getta ban ban fullThis is especially so when said evil Malamar has returned in full force with two companions, and they're just as nasty as ever, about to enact their evil plan. Inkay's rage at James having been controlled in XY 19. Here we see a bunch living in harmony with other Pokémon. However, what's great about the scene that follows is that is shows not all Malamar are pure evil. The memories of their last encounter with the rather evil Malamar is clearly still fresh in their minds, given the reaction of all of the main characters. Naturally, TRio continues to pursue the twerps, but both groups soon run across a Malamar. To start this chapter of the journey, we go with a little darker and plot-focused episode. ![]() The Malamar species isn't inherently chaotic, as can be seen here. The road to Coumarine City now stretches onward, and we'll be dealing with that and a long-awaited conclusion to a rivalry waiting in Lumiose this time. ![]() Last time, we covered quite the weight of material, from the Korrina arc to the Summer Camp and beyond, setting Serena on her dream and bringing Ash close to his fourth Gym Badge. I hope to continue that with this part, as well. #Pikachu xy gif getta ban ban seriesHello again and welcome to another part of my XY review series! Once again, I hope you've been finding it very enjoyable, seeing the way I analyze the series and its writing. ![]()
