Surprised pic related hasn't been as much of a conversation piece. I get the implications of Liko's hypnosis being scintillating, but Charizard being terastilized was one of the big moments for me. Unfortunate that it was "spoiled" by GameFreak doing the tera-dark Charizard Mystery Gift (and one of my friends posting it and not realizing that it's a spoiler). but so it goes.
On the Paldean side of things, Horizons has done a much better job than most of the Ashnime in presenting the environments as they are in-game. Like, Mesagoza looked like Mesagoza, Levincia looks like Levincia, and even the surrounding environs have things like the towers that make the landscape stand out as Paldean. Meanwhile, Littleroot Town in the Ashnime was a major port city with cruise ships coming in and out of the harbor every day. A kid playing S/V and watching Horizons can see a location on TV and then go there, and it'll actually look like the place they saw on TV, and that's neat. It sure as hell beats the Non-Descript Forests of AG and XY, and the Non-Descript Mountain Valleys of DP. I'm sure we'll get plenty of Non-Descript Airspace Over the Ocean in future episodes, but I hope they at least give the same treatment to Galar once they get there.
