Charmander, the Stray Pokémon (011)

[7threst]

Ah, this episode. The episode with that controversial character of the day and the origins of the "Powerhouse" of Ash's entire collection of caught Pokémon. Damian was pretty good in fulfilling the role as the antagonist of this episode and that made it just the more interesting to watch. Also, I love the different personality of Charmander that was totally the opposite to the later machismo of the evolutionary forms (Those were hilarious and cool too).

I really loved this episode. Brock did the right thing buy standing up for Charmander in the Pokemon Center against that loser Damien. Damien made me so mad as a kid. I hated on how he promised to go back for Charmander, but never did. Talk about a liar. I was very happy that Charmander finally had enough and started to flame his butt. I am glad that Ash got the Charmander, but I always felt that Brock could of had it.

This episode was great. Too bad it was rehashed twice. At least this time Damian didn't turn out to be right in the end for some dumb reason like Samurai and AJ did.

This episode pretty much tells us what to do and what not to do as a Pokemon trainer. You should always have faith in your Pokemon.

It would have been nice to see Damian in the Kanto league so Ash could sweep his team. But that's alright. Poor Damian. "That worthless Charminduh" probably gave him third degree burns.

So does Battling a Thaw in Relations! only on a larger scale

Eah, same old "abandoned starter" sob story. I prefer Chimchar's sob story because it was written best. As for this episode, it was average.

The best part of this episode was when Charmander and Pikachu taught Damien a lesson (how was he able to have so many Poke balls?)

They hadn't introduced the "only six pokemon rule" yet. This is a rather standard episode, but I like it. It's a bit corny, but that's to be expected. I was shocked when the group of spearow tried to attack charmander. I'm a bit surprised the writers did that.

Really? I actually didn't know/remember that.

[pacman000]

Yep, it wasn't introduced until Ep. 13 "Mystery at the Lighthouse," two episodes after this one.

You have to remember, this was the first "sob story".

You have to remember, this was the first "sob story".

Even so, the episode was still average.

And this is where it began with the Fire Starters having abusive/bad Trainers. It was a good episode. Brock did seem quite interested in Charmander. I wonder if he should have gotten it.

Thus Ash catches Charmander who will evolve twice and become a total jackass before becoming one of his most reliable Pokemon
