Good morning /padt/. I finally caught up to the newest episode with subs (had a lot of waging this month and always during the time the stream aired) and I must say Ash vs Volkner is by far the best PM battle so far. No unnecesary intro plot, the first 3v3 in PM's history, constant switches, terrain moves, abilities being used, status conditions inflicted and move combos.
This battle had more battle tactics in it than whole Alola League combined. That's why people complained about that tournament being meh. If you are not going to provide XY-level jawdropping visuals at least be clever with the script, just like DP.
Going back to the topic the animation quality was above average for PM's standards and one of the better animated ones this series so far.
I am not mad about Z move being a deus ex machina. It gave me the same vibes as Ash vs Valerie in XY aka using the world logic against the game logic if you know what I mean.
Hyped for the future battles. If every future PWT match will be as good as Ash vs Volkner we might even reach the XYZ amounts of hype which is awesome.
