Just saw episode 3 . overall I ' m not happy with it but one thing was fascinating . So according to the game and other promotional official material we all assumed Mimikyu is this poor Pokemon who only wants to be loved and tries to imitate Pikachu so it can be just as popular and it ' s all around aww and it even had its own adorable song and all . But according to the anime Mimikyu seems to be almost a revengeful spirit of envy and hatred toward Pikachu that constantly mutters disturbing things that Meowth doesn ' t even dare to translate . It instantly sides with Team Rocket just to have a shot at Pikachu because it hates it so much . I also did not expect Mimikyu to make such weird sounds , kind of like an insect or something . That ' s . quite the different interpretation if that ' s true . I mean here ' s what I thought would happen Team Rocket at first mistake Mimikyu for Pikachu from afar or something , they capture it , realize it ' s not Pikachu and reject it , but then Jessie learns why it is disguised as Pikachu and falls in love with the poor thing . Otherwise what I didn ' t like was that Jessie and James now look 2030 years older . The Rotomdex was pretty annoying to me as well . and I guess now Ash has been set back to idiot status , if Rotom Pokedex Form is already too much for his brain to handle and he fails at Pokedex . I know it ' s probably more complicated to say in japanese and the subs just couldn ' t convey itI haven ' t seen episode 4 yet , but I do hope we see more of that Mimikyu , which could have amazing potential as a character , and more of the cute girl squad . Oh and Ash will probably either catch the regional Bird , ' cause he always does , or Grubbin because of the opening .
