This puzzle straight out of a Resident Evil game just feels like writer Shoji Yonemura showing off his knowledge of how dams work. Maybe studying these types of things is one of his hobbies?
This episode doesn't have the most original jokes -- I swear we've seen variations of these gags before -- but it still manages to entertain regardless.
The scenes of the Rocket trio starting up their robot is an homage to similar sequences in the classic sci-fi series "Space Battleship Yamato." Animation director Masaaki Iwane has said that Yamato's his favorite animated series, and you can tell the voice actors had a lot of fun with this as well.
The artwork and animation for this episode, *especially* during the battle between Noboru's Houdin and Shigeru's Bracky, really had no business being as good as it is.
There are Pocket Monsters *movies* that aren't even animated this well!

Isn’t the English dub so far behind at this point that this game event’s spoiling episodes of the TV series that aren’t even up on Netflix yet?
Satoshi's love of croquettes returns!
(Also, I know people like to act as if Sun & Moon introduced anime parodies to Pokémon but that's obviously very much not the case. It's just that the anime they were referencing in these last 90s/early 2000s episodes were older stuff that simply weren't on American audiences' radar)
