Woah darkest episode ever in the anime series?? The movies were a thing but I never expected it in the anime O_o It was so heart-wrenching...

Now Ash has a promising team with Litten's incorporation (though this one was obvious). Ash for sure will help Litten with the Fire Fang, just as he did with Rockruff :P

Yeah, I cant recall a more realistic moodier episode than this one at the top of my head. Litwick's debut episode was more leaning towards dark messed up, this was dark emotional.

This might be my favorite episode (battle episodes not included) in quite some time. Sure, it was quite blatant what they were going to do and what they did. They all but said it but you still hoped that they would Pokeswerve into a happy ending for all. Nor this bittersweet one.

Seriously, I thought/hoped that that counting down tree was just infected by poison, turning this into Ash saving the local water supply while befriending a Poison mon plot. After the Pokecenter scene...
Anyway, amazing episode, heartstring pulling, gonna miss that badass Stoutland.

There are Pokémon graveyards in the anime and games, so I don't think so. I think Stoutland just chose to find a quiet spot to spend his last moments. A lot of animals do that in real life too.

Holy fuck, that was heavy. That scene with Litten frantically clawing Ash's leg..... even Meowth realised something was very wrong.

Nice episode, possibly is top 10 of al the franchise, because show us the Death theme, and uses very nice the symbols and imagens run with the music, how a poem, speaks more without words...

What a sad episode. Sad song by Nyarth.

And finally, Satoshi proved his worthy which Nyabby acknowledged him and joins his team, too bad for Nyarth, though.

I love this episode probs my favourite one yet. I was so happy when Nyabi joined Satoshi (I'm behind by the way. Only up to this episode.)

Is this the first time we've ever seen a Pokemon die? I can't remember any other times they talked about death of Pokemon, especially from old age. Considering this is a kids show I felt the message was very powerful without being graphic or scary. I hope it comforts some kids who may have lost pets or other loved ones ❤︎ ;__;

Never thought they would enter some heavy stuff like this in a Pokémon series aside from movies. This was quite sad.
