I remember this episode so well. Team Rocket were always my favorite characters, and it was great to see their first ep. again.
Oh, and Pikachu-power is STILL the world's finest backup power source.

Another great episode. ^^ Ash was so caring for his Pikachu.
Also, yay we get Team Rocket and them blasting off. ;D Also, I wonder if it actually was a Ho-oh that he saw. D= It certainly does look like it. Although I'm sure the picture on the wall of the Pokemon Center was of an Articuno. =S

Great episode back in the day, the stone tablet with the legendaries and Arcanine was cool.
Team Rocket's first appearance in the series. The one episode where I found them to be intimidating, credible villains until the next episode where they turned out to be comedy relief. Still, this was a great episode. The Pikachu power source was really cute but the Pikachu' chanting their name over and over again became pretty annoying. I liked Team Rocket lines in this episode as well. They said some pretty funny stuff that I laugh about to this very day especially their lines towards Misty as she tried to battle them.

Ash messed up this time. Now this freak is following him everywhere. When did they even decide to travel together? As far as I could recall, they didn't. That means she's stalking him. Creepy.
Also, random Caterpie at the end.

I don't think Ash messed up, he's lucky to travel with Misty. She's the most fun character out of them all. Team Rocket's first appearance was bound to make this episode brilliant! I also loved seeing Goldeen being pathetic. Although I guess it did stall for a bit of time.
Why Arcanine with the legendary birds? I fail to understand...
Team Rocket's first appearance. And Ash has Misty as a new friend. Team Rocket's faces were priceless when they looked at Misty's Goldeen.
Here, we are formally Introduced to Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, and Team Rocket. After being dropped off at the Pokemon Center by Jenny and having phoned home to his Mom and Oak, Misty shows up with the ruins of her bike, demanding Ash replace it. Then Jesse, James, and Meowth break it the center to steal all the Pokemon and are quite threatening, until Ash's Pikachu is healed and finally defeats them with such a massive Thundershock it destroys the Pokemon Center. After this, Team Rocket vows to steal the powerful Pikachu, thus beginning their long, long antagonism of Ash and his friends. Misty starts traveling with Ash until her bike is replaced, and the 2 head into Viridian Forest, where Ash finds a wild Caterpie, and aims to catch it.

Poor Team Rocket. Ash simply generates electricity into his Pikachu and they mistake him for some unstoppable force that they must steal. It's just an ordinary Pikachu. xD
This episode was the first indication that Ash's Pikachu was unusually strong
ash is a good boy he immediately took pikachu to pokemon centre
I was born to break rules
Misty's Goldeen made an outstanding debute XD
Good episode, with angry Misty, alert Officer Jenny, a crapload of Pikachu and Caterpie's appearance. I can't describe why, but I love this episode, 10/10, Kanto rocks!
Team Rocket appears, and till this day I still love them. Interesting how no one said anything about Meowth who talks...
Joy jumping to conclusions is pretty harsh...they nearly died.
Oh and Ash is going to try to get a Caterpie...should have got Ho-oh instead but whatever.
I liked the episode. It was action packed and funny.

What a crazy episode lol in the end the entire pokemon center was destroyed.
Best friends forever, Sisters at heart ♥
Just watched this episode today. Still confused why Ash mixes up Articuno and Ho-Oh. I get that he is young but it just seems a little odd.
I know Misty was trying to buy time, but why send out Goldeen if she was fully aware it wouldn't fight? Wouldn't sending out Staryu and actually fighting them have held them off longer? That was a weird episode.
A great episode, epitome of the epic start of a beautiful anime.
Great episode. Great to see Pikachu is finally healed, and we get to see one of Misty's pokemon. Kanto for the win.
