It seems I was wrong about entry to the Master class being the same as the others, but I suppose it makes more sense this way. I still think it's a bit unfair that someone can get knocked down a class because someone got a win against someone else, but I guess it's easier to bounce back from a class of hundreds of people you can challenge freely than it is for a class of the top 8 trainers with battles organized in advance by the tournament officials.
Duraludon, Flygon, and Goodra are all excellent choices for Raihan's team and I'm glad Ash's big 3 are finally getting a chance to shine together. I can't believe it took this long for Lucario to battle alongside Dragonite unless I'm forgetting something. Unfortunately we all know Gengar is irrelevant here and will likely take an L, but will Dragonite's winstreak come to an end or will he be take the spotlight from Lucario and come out on top against his fellow Dragon type opponents.
Why is the animation for what should arguably be Ash's biggest match yet so bad? He's in the big leagues fighting what are said to be champion-tier trainers and we're still getting slideshows. Who thought it was a good idea to put Shinohara (unless my eyes are deceiving me), one of the worst animation directors who always brings chpppy animation, on something this important. He just worked on the Serena episode so why is he back so soon? Could they not schedule anyone else?
