The Punchy Pokémon! (029)

[Reece]

This is one of my favorite episodes. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were awesome, Pikachu's Rocket Punch was funny, but I was kinda ****** off that Ash left Primeape train to become the P1 Champion.

Primape finally listining to ash was awesome. the Hitmons where pretty kool. 7/10 for being an ok epi

This was a good episode until Primeape was given away for no good reason at all- it already was a P1 champion. Every other one of Ash's pokemon had at least a reasonable excuse to leave except for Primeape, he should have just been Oak'd. Regardless, this was enjoyable to watch-I really enjoyed Team Rocket's classic glue scheme on Hitmonchan.

[Pacman]

Good episode. I didn't like that Primeape left thought.

[DarkWobbuffet]

Well of course Okorizaru had to leave forever. Perish the thought of Satoshi having a obedient non-cutesy Pokemon on his main team. :P

It was a great episode until the ending, though I'm still curious as to what that Ebiwaraa-trainer actually said to Satoshi about taking Okorizaro for a while in the Japanese version. In the english version he said he would train him to be a P-1 champion, even though the monkey pig thing was ALREADY a champion. O_o

It also amused me when he told Takeshi to throw in the towel, but he wouldn't give up against Sawamular. This guy is already the champion of the Redundancy-1 tournament.

And why just give away Okorizaro? Would a trade for Ebiwaraa been a better deal?

I liked this episode. But why did Primape have to leave?
IMO he would have been one of Ash's biggest powerhouses.

[bubblybubbly-bubba]

I really,really,really,really,really, didn't want primeape to leave. Atleast the hitmons got introduced.

A good episode overall, quite original, a cool team rocket entrance and lot's of battles! Also I was actually quite glad Ash wasn't going to use Primape on his main team course his attacks were fairly cheap to me.

Yeah I hated that part too, wtf at I am training him so he can become good when he already beat every fighting pokemon...

[npdargy312]

i wish he got it back...

[Green_Cat_Assassin]

It made me sad when he left primeape. they should put a series of episodes in like pokemon chronicles where ash goes back and visits those pokemon he's left behind. it's be kinda nice,

[Battra]

A good episode, I liked the idea of a fighting tournament to introduce most of the 1st gen Fighting Pokemon. I got a laugh from Ash getting Pikachu to fight Hitmonchan, good thing Pikachu got a lucky punch in before it got a 1st round knockout. Nice to see Primeape listen to Ash now to bad that in its 2nd appearance in the series it leaves forever, since the writers apparently forgot about it, I guess when your not as popular as Charizard you get forgotten about.

[Metal Bird]

Pikachu looked really cute and cool in those boxing gloves. I liked the episode too.

[HikariTajiri]

AWESOME. 8/10, did Primeape HAVE to leave??? I love Hitmonchan's voice!

[Kataphrut]

As with everyone else, an AWESOME episode if Primeape did not leave. I always like Primeape and it was all because of the brief time he spent with Ash.

[Hooray4Homestar]

This is one of my least favorite episodes. Some parts were funny, but most of the episode had me bored.

[Tadashi]

I liked this episode. Pikachu had no chance against that Hitmonchan, but it was pretty neat how Ash taught it how to box. (For that matter, how does Ash know so much about boxing?)

I also loved Primeape in this episode ^^ He showed off some skill and actually obeyed Ash... I felt kinda sad when Ash left it, though (aww, cute teary-eyed monkey face!). Here's to hoping he'll come back for it some day :P

[GDE]

I hope primape comes back someday, through some weird event... also, now that i realize it, hitmonchan had such a big head back in kanto XD

[pkmntrjk6]

Yay, Primeape obeying!
Boo, Primeape leaving!
Yay, hitmons introduced!
Boo, Primeape leaving for no reason!

I hated the fact that primeape leaves right afterward.i mean cmon ash could really use him.as i kept on wathing this series and other series i saw so many ways ash could have used him.

This was a great episode. Primeape listened to Ash, but I was sad when he left. Oh well, can't have everything and it was a good episode anyway!

[Igottapoo]

Poor Primeape. You were only there for a short time. Fun episode though. I don't like fighting Pokemon much. Poor Geodude didn't do anything.
