I did however like the talk about catching Pokémon between Goh and Chloe on the way to school, as it was a good way to set up the important turning point this episode represents for her by calling back to how she doesn't want to do that just because she's a Professor's daughter, ontop of both being a fitting topic for Goh to bring up and a nice way to give them their first dedicated moment as old time friends in a long while. I was admittedly pretty surprised by the confirmation that Goh is still actually attending school rather than having completely dropped it, though, and it's a tad goofy even by this show's standards that all it takes to allow Goh to keep adventuring and working as a research fellow is promising to return for tests, but it is clearly mostly an excuse to have him around the school for the episode's premise in the end, especially since the interaction with their teacher kinda implied that Goh hasn't been at school since he became a trainer. I'm very interested in seeing if it's going to lead to something predictable like eventually revealing that she possesses a Gigantamax Factor or something more developed and addressed outside of metaphorical or theoretical answers, like perhaps it channelling evolutionary energy to create Partner Moves from Let's Go? It's mostly speculation at this point, but it'd be interesting to keep Eevee's mystery as a focal part of the story, in my opinion, given this series could use some more subplots beyond Ash's and Goh's overarching goals. I find intriguing also how they flat out confirmed that this Eevee is unable to evolve at all (and liked how the matter was approached relatively scientifically, between serious experiments and later in the episode suggesting this Eevee has higher genetic instability), as it's the first time we have seen a Pokémon not having the capability to do so in the Anime. In this sense, I liked the way the episode introduced us to the Eevee Evolution Laboratory to give us a quick but informative show of what to expect from this Eevee: her quirk to emulate the Pokémon around her tying into her Copycat move is endearing without being obnoxious alongside tying in well with her seeming role into the story going forward. So, considering how important and requested the introduction to Chloe in the main cast was, how did this episode do? Overall, I think it did its job decently enough, even if I do have some issues with the execution.įirst of all, and to go in order, I do feel that this episode was a tad too crowded for its own good, with several parts that while they do eventually come together could've been paced differently to ensure more focus on the most important parts, which I'll go into detail bit by bit, but for the most part, as an episode dedicated to introducing Eevee and intended to have Chloe make her first step towards becoming a Trainer, it does the job competently enough. Today's episode was a fairly important one, as it featured the long-awaited debut of a very mysterious Eevee and her fateful encounter with Chloe, seemingly paying off the first year's buildup period to truly make her into a proper Pokémon Trainer.
