'Lights Camera Quackion', 'Hail to the Chef', 'The Bamboozling Forest' and 'For The Love of Meowth' are all examples of this. I'm generally not a big fan of episodes where the COTD is a jerk that becomes the designated hero simply because TR attacked them (especially in cases said jerk bullied TR FIRST and often did the same to the twerps despite the latter being mandated to rescue them after all they put them through). It's just a lot of them tend to be the obvious major battles with the occasional emotional episode every now and then, and there are so many episodes that not all of them stand out. Sorry for not really posting episodes I do like. I can only think of a few I truly enjoyed, like "The Poke-Spokesman," which at least had an interesting enough concept to be memorable, or "The Wayward Wobbuffet," which is an incredibly fun episode and some rare Wobbuffet focus.
That carrier Pidgey one from earlier in the Johto saga (I think it was called "Carrying On") was far more boring and derivative than this one, though certainly not one I'd call one of the worst episodes of the anime.Īctually, I felt a lot of the Johto League Champions fillers that padded out Ecruteak to Olivine in particular were very dull and forgettable. And seeing Meowth's more sympathetic side is always good. There's only so much Electrabuzz fanatic theme song singing I can take.Ĭlick to expand.I actually thought that one was a surprisingly emotional episode, with Orville's determination to achieve such an impossible dream and nearly dying in the process to achieve it. I also didn't particularly care for the episodes where Casey appeared. The sight of Nene appearing and that episode where Clemont found a match was terrible too.
The episode where Bonnie was a leader of that kiddie group of nobodys or that episode of that Kangaskun kid. I liked how Ash and Pikachu kept comforting him and defending him. I felt so bad for him when Misty kept telling Ash to keep that thing away from her and how downright disgusted she was of Caterpie, all because he was a Bug type Pokémon and the worst part was how sad he felt even when he was trying to get close to her. Another favorite of mine was when Caterpie was captured and how the group reacted to him. I did really like the episode where Golden_Latias pointed out, I was so invested in the Chimchar storyline. She was so brave to go out on a whim to find someone she admired for helping her a long time ago. One of my favorite episodes were when Serena was alone by herself with only Fenekkin (not really a whole episode (I wish) but those were one of my favorite scenes.) It felt really relatable where Serena wasn't accustomed to living outside, was spooked by almost everything that popped up when it was getting dark, and she was so relieved to find a Pokémon Center.
And it had some good character development for Chimchar, to boot. That scene really shows how much Paul damaged Chimchar's psyche, if it starts crying because it's not used to others being nice to it. I think that episode is very underrated in how emotional it is, in just how it shows the stark contrast between Chimchar's life with Paul and Ash, and I admit even I nearly teared up when Chimchar started crying after losing to Piplup. They're probably some of my most hated characters, too.Īnd I'll name one of my favorites, as well. Like seriously, if they so obsessed with Norman, they should have been able to see right through Team Rocket's lame disguises. And when Ash defeats Team Rocket and returns the stolen money to these idiots? Pikachu gets all the credit instead.Īnd yeah, the citizens of North Petalburg have to be some of stupidest COTD in the entire history of the show. he is basically snubbed and discredited by the townspeople despite having four badges at that point, forced to battle to the point of exhaustion for both him and his Pokemon, loses to May in a rigged battle, gets burned by Torchic, and all these stupid townspeople basically **** on him from start to finish in their blind fanboyism for Norman and his family. I second "A Double Dilemma," but moreso because it felt way too mean-spirited toward Ash, almost like this episode was partially designed to torture him.
