There were a lot of things wrong with this episode. Not like I mean, you know, they got technical things wrong, but I just think the story was... well, if it was a food (no pun intended) then this episode would have tasted like a moldy piece of cardboard. See? It tastes like nothing and it makes you sick to your stomach.
Also, Sneasel's voice sounded... Mike *******-ish. That man is a horrible voice actor. Who hired that man?! Really. I'm serious, who? You know the old Sneasel's voice? That was good. It was okay. Today's episode, the voice changed for some reason, replaced by what can only be called a rat rubbed against the cheese grader.
The cooking contest thing was lame too. I mean, that never happens in the game, we've kind of seen this before, and what's lame is that they're just, "Oh, just forget this stuff ever happened and let's just have a truce! Wee! Let's eat candy!" Fart on this. Fart on this a lot.
Also Team Rocket never did anything. Whatever. Well, they did their usual thing, nothing big.
I think the writers are just running out of ideas. Maybe they can change it so it's not a cookie cutter, everyone has fair share kind of episode.
