Pikachu was way cuter in the past. They made him too thin recently.

By far my favorite episode .. that I remember/have watched, at least. It really shows a dark side that some people possess .. and he had such a sweet and loyal pokemon too. So sad .. this episode made me cry as a kid, and even now I teared up (damn hormones). Was great to see Charmander stand up for himself, and Pikachu joining in was a nice touch.

I'm guessing that 4kids have a crappy accent fetish. Why can't they give normal voices to all of the characters? Starting to lose faith in humanity... must watch some cute kitten videos.

Dammit, so sad. Damien should've gotten much worse! Aren't there any Pokemon rights laws!?

Also, I kinda think Charmander should have gone to Brock though, you'd think Charmander would get a say in the matter. But I guess they're all the same team, and he just wanted to go with them in general. But somehow Fire seems to complement Brock and his Rock.

I miss back in the day when Pikachu really had a personality. Now he just sits around agreeing with Ash on everything, but back at the beginning he was a really charming little Pokemon.

Charmanderrrr, my baby. I really wanted them to uppercut Damien in the face as soon as they found out that he abandoned Charmander.

Honestly....they should have just killed Damien, Pokemon are better off without trainers like him.

Now wait just a darn minute...anyone else think that Charmander should have been Brock's? He did 80% of the work here...oh how the show would have been so different...

This is probably the only episode i've ever seen where I felt like I got emotional about something.

All I have to say to that is just.... WOW.

Ash has Charmander, he is incredible, anyway his previous owner was an asshole for wanting to let a pokemon die, and in real life there are people who let animals die for no reason (screw up).
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.

Those guys were terrible, but they were just stereotypical bad guys.

Also, Team Rocket is never going to stop, they appear every single episode and they fucking will.

That damien guy is awful, ugh. That Charmander was super cute and I enjoyed the premise of this episode.

Ash will definitely be a good owner for him and I can tell

Poor Charmander, I feel sorry for him. And here are the references to Doctor Who cames. By the way, the flock of spirow was originally much larger, and not 3 birds. Brock, when will you finally decide to make an acquaintance?

I never did like Charmander design before this episode.
It's really cute... also, Brock was the real MVP of the episode, he should have caught him lmo.

Oh, and in the italian dub, Misty says Oddish is a Water type.

Easily the best episode until now. everything is on point about this one. but i have to say the pacing is the best part, its way better than any of the previous episodes. this episode even has some funny moments, and they dont even rely on team rocket for that. its all great very emotional, a 10
