The episode starts with an homage to the very first Tracey Ullman short for the 30th anniversary on April 19th.
The main plot features Bart helping lonely grandmothers for his own mischief, and it feels both wholesome and funny. The secondary plot is on Pokemon Go, a huge fad from last year (2016). Keep in mind it takes them nearly a year to finish a Simpsons episode.
The jokes don't seem mean spirited or forced as they have lately, and the reference to the Pokemon theme song was fun. It parodies the obsessive nature of people who played it, while also showing it brought people together. Homer and Lisa bonding over the game was cute.
I liked that the plots tied together in the end. The only complaint I could think of is how humorously outdated Pokemon Go is. Overall it's a good episode, especially compared to the past few.
