The blog for Booster kinda makes it clear that Waverider is gonna be considered. It outright said it's a permanent transformation and that Waverider could aid Booster in a fight.

Waverider happened during the convergence storyline, whose canon status is not defined.

Here's the Goro vs Machamp QnA since I caught it early this week:
Why didn't you mention that Machamp's belt hinders his power? Doesn't that mean you nerfed him?
It seems to apply to Machoke more than Machamp and in the manga it shows that Machamps don't need the belt. They couldn't find much evidence to show that Machamp needed the belt.
Did you cast someone to voice Machamp and say one word or are those voice clips?
They brought on Kestin Howard, who was their Captain Falcon. While they did consider doing voice clips, they got convinced by their sound studio to bring someone in.
Some of the audio seems different then normal in this episode. Did you record from home given the current situation?
The in-episode lines were already recorded, but the ads and sponsorships are recorded from home due to the timing of receiving ad reads.
You forgot that Machamp can throw people over the horizon. How would that change the fight?
Ben said it was difficult to quantify that distance and Chad said "who cares, he throws people into space." They acknowledge that they did know about it, but due to the other feats and the limited time they have for an episode, they cut it out.
Why did you take the Pokedex entries as fact, everyone knows those are nonsense claims made by ten-year olds. It says Magcargo is 18,000 F, but that's hotter than the sun.
They say there's a theory that the Pokedex entries are actually written by the 10 year old player, and since they're dumb and stupid, they don't know actual science. However, since most of the entries are consistent across games and the Professors already know everything about Pokemon, Ben doesn't believe that. The entries are usually supported by stuff in the anime, manga, and games, so they accept them (also, Magcargo being that hot wouldn't be a huge deal because of his mass and thermodynamics).
Why didn't you give Machamp Close Combat, it's his best move.
He can't naturally learn it, so they didn't give it to him since they tried to stick to a wild Machamp (*cough* Rock Smash *cough*).
Does the fact that Goro is half dragon mean that Machamp's move Dual Chop would be super effective against him?
A lot of people predicted this because of Pokemon logic, but Ben doesn't like to apply Pokemon types to non-Pokemon unless there is a clear logic to apply it with.
Who is responsible for Machamp dabbing?
Christina and David. Ben gave the okay for the shot, so he also had a hand in it.
Side note, Ben is super excited for Cable vs Booster Gold

I still think Pikachu meeds to be done justice for that disrespect against Blanka who he should've beat.

A wild Pikachu should be easily defeated by Blanka.Foxthefox1000 said:
It is Ash's Pikachu who should body Blanka.
And seems like (if you buy the cloud feat) Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu & co can beat even Lucy Heartfilia so here's that.

If I'm not mistaken, even a wild Pikachu speed blitzes, and has attacks actually capable of harming Blanka.

Dont get me wrong, tho: I found the ending funny (eating Pokémon).
Regardless, I indeed disagree with the results as well.

I thought they were using Ash's Pikachu for that episode?

The research back then was all over the place e.g: 1000% power increase super forms for Sonic characters, large vegetable level lifting strength for Luigi, giving Cloud his starting weapon, etc

I re-watched the episode again, and they did use Ash's Pikachu.Soupywolf5 said:
