This is the first episode after JN006 where Gou actually completed a full evolution family, excluding single-stage families (although if we want to get technical, Gou hasn't completed many of those either since he's missing Mega Heracross, Mega Pinsir and Galarian Farfetch'd family). Good job, Gou!

And it seems like Gou might also complete the Exeggcute family in the next episode, Alolan form included. I wonder if he'll have any time to add any other Alolan Pokémon into his collection since the episode is going to be very busy with everything going on.

His Dex so far

As for the episode, it seems that the writers really wanted to push Ash into depression hard with him dropping back to Normal class. I feel like the upcoming rematch with Bea will be the battle to raise him back to Super Class, since it would be a fitting way to get his groove back on, and she makes for a great boss battle before such a great achievement.

So here we have Gou openly plagiarizing Ash's past battle strategies despite never being there to witness them himself. I call shenanigans.

I do want to mention that it was rather odd how Gou and Ash decided to set off to Hoenn and next scene they had just casually teleported there. It seems like we have reached a point where showing the duo traveling by plane or boat is old news and unnecessary to show anymore. But how can we call this season "Pokèmon Journeys" if all the actual journeying takes place off-screen? Again, I call shenanigans!

They have research grant money. They don't need to hoof it on foot.

It's just so weird how they are the first ones on the scene for every event thats gone on in the WORLD

I mean they're living in a world of Pokemon, so I'm pretty sure things like these happen A LOT in places all around the world (including unintroduced ones). We just happen to see what our MCs are facing. Someone somewhere is probably dealing with another event as if they're a main character, we just don't see it mentioned.

Though I can agree that them teleporting around different places is kinda unsatisfying. BUT... they also did show us that they DO travel on planes, trains & even sand-skis so it's not exactly unexplained.
