| Oh wow, Tachiki Fumihiko voices the gym leader, and it's the first time I've ever heard him speak Engrish. It's pretty pro. :O |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Thats ma pika ^^ |
| Ahh, all the puns in these series just warm my heart. |
| Lol @ Team Rocket crying at Pikachu's resolve, I saw your eyes water Jessie!! xD That was a great moment, though. I never forget that time when they refused to evolve Pikachu. Pikachu > Raichu I dunno why, but (in english at least) Brock's voice sounds a bit off sometimes, like he's hesitating every time he speaks or something. Or perhaps out of place. But it sounds kinda bad to me. Either way he's still great. |
| Fnally Ash won a badge by himself! :3 |
| This episode was epic! I loved it! The Rocket Gang were supporting Pikachu, that was awesome! Pikachu is epic! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Go Pikachu. That was awesome. |
| Pikachu warms my heart |
 |
| Misty really needs to step off....why keep going if all you are going to do is put Ash down? |
 |
| This pasing is MUCH faster than what I remember. How are they expecting the remaining 262 episodes to cover 5 gym leaders + the elite four? Well... I'm looking forward to find out. Great episode btw. As always. |
| The Rocket team supported Pikachu in his battle against Raichu, it was nice. I suppose beating a Raichu with a Pikachu makes him deserve his two other medals or at least gives him more value. |
| Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an otaku in secret.  |
| First time Rocket acted as good guys. And lol at Major. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| one of the greatest pkmn episodes from the whole series, for couple of reasons: - since ep1, there was hardly ash&pikachu development, this episode took their development for what it should be. - first time ash getting badge by fair fight and not because the gym leader was nice (and it's actually one of the few times it happens in the kanto season), and first time for him to actually use strategy (though to be from brock). - team rocket not annoying. |
| Cute episode and it did a perfect job with the ash and pikachu duo. It's quite crazy how pikachu was so close to becoming a raichu this episode but as expected, pikachu will always be pikachu. Team rocket were awesome this episode and I'm really starting to love them |
 ManWild |
| Gotta love the cheering and puns from Team Rocket this episode. And finally some decent character development between Ash and Pickachu. |
 |
| Wow, Satoshi finally got a badge by actually winning a battle and not because the gym leaders are too nice. |
 |
| Nice episode, 4/5. David and Goliath almost like. Pikachu is not only cute and kind, but also diligent. By the way, did Ash's team eat as planned at the beginning of the episode?) |
| Of course Pikachu won't evolve into a Raichu, and they still managed to beat the 3rd gym! LMAO Team Rocket's realizing they've been encouraging them the whole episode that was hilarious |
 |
| heheh Raichu is a funny little fat rat ^_^ what a SHOCKING story. that was quite a TAIL Ash & Pikachu had an Ataru & Lum moment |
| Pikachu being scared and trying to avoid fights he think he can't win never gets old. Sooo cute. But in this episode he was also cutely determined. I had forgotten the ending of this episode. So Ash actually got at least one insignia by skillfully defeating the gym leader. But didn't another episode say that a Raichu had 2m? Only Surge is huge. |
