I die a little inside when people "just watch the gym episodes," or even worse, when regular viewers encourage it. There are few pure filler episodes in XY and it's trivial to skip just those on principal, you might as well watch it all. Even in the filler you have these small details and interactions that help build character which enhances major plot points when they happen.
You're not reading a fucking textbook trying to narrow down the relevant data, you're reading a serial novel and enjoying the adventures of the protagonists. You're not going to appreciate it by selectively watching episodes. If you're going to watch a series, do it properly.
