Well I guess that's the end of Advanced Generation and onwards to Diamond and Pearl.

These episodes are always so sad :( Especially when you know they barely reference Ash's old companions and Pokemon in the new series'. Ah well...onwards to D&P!

A disappointing finale to a decent series. "Gotta Catch Ya Later" was a fantastic end to the OS but this was pretty mediocre. May and Brock's goodbyes were over and done like that, without one-tenth of the emotional intensity that made the OS finale good, and the home portions didn't have much to write home about, either.

Liked this season as much as the original overall. Enjoyed both the Hoenn journey and revisit of Kanto a lot, also the contest bit.

The match between Ash and May was a nice touch at the end, gonna miss her and even Max, even tho I think their departure deserved a whole episode, it was a bit lacking compared to the moment where Misty and Brook went their ways. Gonna miss Ash's Hoenn team too. He would be the absolute elite by now if he kept his strongest Pokemon with him.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

the beginning part- double winners??? i thought they said if it was a tie they have to battle in a sudden death match till one knocks out. wack.
.
ash and gang part ways wonder if we will ever see them again.
Gary is back with a new pokemon from sinnoh. Pikachu Vs Electrivire good quick attack when Electrivire was in the air but Gary was one step ahead with that protect.
Garys going back to sinnoh, Ash wants to go too. Now we wait for a new story to fold. Aipom tagged along.

Decent ending, everyone yet again going their own ways and we get to see Ash fight Gary again.

If I had to compare the first Pokemon season to Advanced Generation then I'd say the overall quality was better here.
However the first Pokemon season for me had a lot more memorable and unique episodes though, especially in the first 110~ ish episodes.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the contest stuff May participated in at the start but it turned out alright later on.
Also the Battle Frontier opening tune really grew on me, probably my next favourite after the original opening.

That said this season definitely had some great episodes, some that come to mind;
- Episode 39, the antics of the King of Tricks and the comedy was on point, definitely one of the funniest Pokemon episodes I've seen so far.
- Episode 157, I loved the story about the elderly couple and May and Meowth even made it so we're actually experiencing a new timeline compared to the one we've come to know and love since the start.

I'm not a big fan of the contest result, but I can understand it, since Ash is an experienced trainer and May is more experienced contestwise.

I would say that this series was a decent follow-up to the original one. I think it was better than Johto, because there were less episodes between Gym Battles and the addition of contests also helped to keep me interested. However, Kanto still has the most memorable episodes.

Max you better go catch that Ralts now!

We love seeing Gary and Ash rivalry but Ash nor staying even a day a home because he wants to follow Gary's pat is like a lot
