The Battle For The Badge! (063)

[Swagga09]

It was an okay episode. it was nice to see Pidgeotto get some screentime for ONCE.

An interesting episode. I liked the battle at the end with Ash & Jessie. Why Ash hasn't met Giovanni yet despite the fact many seasons past by I don't know.

It's because they are waiting until the last season (or last TR season) for them to battle probably. That doesn't really make sense though because they are acting like the main hero and main villain can't have any fights prior to their last encounter. I think they might have something HUGE planned with Giovanni though.

Yeah, this gym battle was quite a disappointing - considering Ash was able to waltz over them. I would much rather have seen a battle between Ash and Giovanni. Now, Gary appearance rate is increasing, which is pretty well-timed - considering it was at the end of obtaining all the badges and the league up ahead. That just made the whole end of Kanto way more interesting.

Ash would have been crushed against Giovanni. Did you see the Pokemon he had? I'm sorry but Ash was not ready for the leader of that gym or the league back then.

It was interesting to see TRio as the Gym Leaders

An amazing episode. I like how Jessie was the Gym Leader and the addition of the stands that made the Trainers feel their Pokemon's pain. But, what I don't understand, is how did Bulbsaur felt hurt when Kingler used Bubble on him.

I still remember to this day exactly where I was when I first saw this episode on sm:TV Live, purely because at the time I had no idea that Mewtwo was to be in it! Unfortunately that was really the only reason, because the rest of it is pretty damn disappointing.
Gary overpowered Gio's first 2 pokemon far too easily, especially with just a tackle attack... Furthermore, check out the wide shot of all 3 of TRs pokes. Machamp is massive!
