Bonnie is always looking for someone to take care of her big brother—until suddenly, someone agrees to do so! Lilia is looking for a partner who can take over her father’s robotics company. She also has a Buneary who seems to be sweet on Clemont’s Bunnelby. Everything is falling into place—and Bonnie couldn’t be less happy!

But in the middle of a Team Rocket attack, Bonnie finds herself in danger, and Clemont leaps to her rescue, even sacrificing his precious Aipom Arm in the process. Lilia decides she’s not ready to settle down yet after all, the siblings are reunited, and our heroes are off once again to Snowbelle City!

Trivia

File:Title Card XY Bonnie V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Bonnie for this episode

• In the Japanese version, the title card segment focuses on Bonnie.
• Poké TV: "Poké Love TV" focusing on Dedenne.
• Orangics, the company that Lilia works for, is very similar to a real world company, Apple Inc.
• The English dub was released on iTunes on July 2, 2016, seven days before the episode aired in the United States.
• This is the first appearance of a Buneary that isn't Dawn's in the main series since its capture in Setting the World on Its Buneary!.
  • Coincidentally, both Dawn and Lilia's Buneary are female and fell in love with a main character's Pokémon, Dawn's being with Ash's Pikachu and Lilia's with Clemont's Bunnelby.
• Bonnie breaks the fourth wall by talking to the audience in this episode.
• Several of Clemont's inventions from previous episodes reappear in this episode:
  • Flying-type Pokémon Attracting Machine from A Battle of Aerial Mobility!.
  • Pokémon Power Meter from The Aura Storm!.
  • Other Dimension Converter from The Cave of Mirrors!.
  • Mechanized Motivator from The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!.
  • Weather Predictor from Adventures in Running Errands!.
• An instrumental version of Team Rocket's Team Song is used as an insert song when Team Rocket recites their motto.
• Jimmy and Serena narrate the preview of the next episode.
• This episode's English dub title is shown on the original title card as A Keeper for Keeps?!, but is listed on the title card used in the United Kingdom airing, most TV guides, as well as the Pokémon website as A Keeper for Keeps? without the exclamation mark.
• This episode was skipped in the initial rotation on the English Pokémon TV on August 12, 2016.

Errors

• After Clemont's invention explodes, the toothpaste in Dedenne's mouth disappears.
• When Bonnie takes Lilia away from the group after she and Bunnelby fell in Team Rocket's trap, Dedenne is on Bonnie's head though when Bonnie approached her, Dedenne wasn't.
• In the dub, Clemont tells Lilia that there are transmitters in the bandages he put on her and Buneary earlier, when in fact it was actually her and Bunnelby who had bandages put on their injuries.
  • Also, only Lilia's bandage was put on by Clemont, as Bonnie put Bunnelby's on.
• In the dub, before Pikachu and Luxray dodge the attacks from Team Rocket's Pokémon, Ash and Clemont's mouths move, but no sound was heard.

Dub edits

• In the dub, Ash and Clemont didn't tell Pikachu and Luxray to dodge Team Rocket's Pokémon's attacks. In the original, they tell them to dodge.
• An instrumental of Stand Tall was used as an insert song.
