Gloom looks retarded. Ash was funny wearing a dress.

This was a weird episode, but pretty funny especially his name Ashley. And isn't it the gym leaders duty to accept every trainer challenges? Erika is like breaking the law...

Has Ash ever won a gym badge through proper means rather than friendship or something? xD

An okay episode. Not the most ideal way of seeing Ash/Satoshi earn a badge.

Ash can't enter a Gym just because he has a different view point about certain oder? Seriously? Erika should have been fired as a Gym leader. And the part that really got my blood boiling with rage, is that Ash's friends do nothing to defend him and just walk in the gym along with Pikachu. However the plus side, is the gag with Team Rocket and Ash in the episode was pretty darn funny.

I have come to realise, Ash is the shittiest pokemon trainer there is. They have made just a great world and our protagonist is this guy. What a waste.

The Meowth's "nose" part. xD
Satoshi/Ash almost always get his badges as gifts, that's probably why he won't... You know.

I hated Erika so much.
Ash never earns his medals properly?
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.

I honestly forgot about the fact that Satoshi didn't get in the league properly.

Kusaihana low-key looking cute.

if ash is worth winning that badge because of he saved her pokemon, he should just burn every gym and then save the pokemon.

Not my favorite episode of the series by any means but it was still nice.

Gloom is cute and that moment when ash saved him was beautiful. I can't help but notice that ash gets a lot of badges by doing heroic acts and what not rather than straight up beating them 1v1 lol.

Good episode overall

Why? Ash was the one who acted like a complete jackass in Erika's perfume store by insulting her merchandise. If anyone was being rude in this episode it was Ash, not to mention Misty and Brock; they left Ash and went to join Erika's seminar without a second glance. It was kind of messed up.

Was Tokyo the prototype of Siladon?
Perfume store consultants have no right to kick Ash out; the customer is always right
By the way, what about Erika's traditional Japanese women's hairstyle, if we later see her with a bob? Did she cut her hair offscreen?

Ash crossdressing isn't something I expect to see, but he was with James so it makes sense xD
Him saving the Gloom was cool, but out of the five badges he got so far he only won one by winning for real
