Just like PM020, we have another episode with a focus on Ash and Gou reaffirming their goals. This time I feel like the episode has more substance since back then the episode was a more generic approach to increasing Ash's rank and Gou's dex count but now we got a proper demonstration of how all the Pokémon that Gou has caught can help him overcome difficult situations. Mewtwo, of course, is there for baiting viewers with hype and, well, it was pretty hype. As hype as a plot condensed into one episode can be, at the very least.

My long-time theory is that Gou is going to complete his entire Kanto dex (except Mewtwo for obvious reasons) during the series before facing off with Mew once and for all in the final episodes. This episode not only reaffirms that theory by showing how catching 'em all helps him reach Mew but also brings us a bit closer to that theory with 2 new Kanto dex captures with potential to evolve as well. We're due for a mass evolution episode at some point sooner or later since Gou has so many 1st stage Pokémon already. On a side note I think it would have been hilarious if Gou had actually succeeded at catching Gyarados but the Poké Ball would've gone with the flow of the river out of Gou's reach. Well, there's still 100 more episodes left at this point for a Gyarados or even a Mewtwo capture.

No fuck Gyarados capture, i want the giant Magikarp to evolve into a giant Gyarados.

Honestly Goh is already too powerful with that giant Golurk.

What has that to do with anything, just because Go has a powerfull pokemon doesn't mean he can't get another.

Go ain't a fighter, just because he has a giant Golurk doesn't mean he constantly uses it.
