Indeed, it did evolve kinda randomly, huh?
Anyway, it was nice to see the Rocket Cacnea and Dustox again, and I'm surprised we didn't see Mime Jr. in the episode at all. Huh. And, yes, great with the TR bikinis, and I'm happy they didn't edit Jessie's cleavage as that was 4Kids' big thing during Advanced Battle. But we'll wait until Dogasu says different.
One thing, when the bird Pokemon were escaping with Meowth's "assistance" and making such a racket, why didn't the Rocket Pokemon at least pop in? As sentries, I'd like to think they would have done something, even if fooled by Hoothoot.
They popped in when the same thing happened with Gotta Dance, right? Oh, well. As always, if it wasn't for the Rockets and their Pokemon, I wouldn't have given this episode a second thought. And who knew Bonsly was so...useful -- there's your deus ex machina right there. Headdesk. Good foreshadowing for the next episode, I guess.
