Friends Til The End! (082)

^ The writers needed him to lose. Regardless of what Pokémon he sent out (Muk, Kingler, a Mewtwo, a Dragonite, an Onix, etc) he was going to lose that match. It just made more sense with Charizard since it wouldn't obey him.

Watching Ritchie lose was the highlight of the episode. It gets a 10/10 just for that. I'm reminded about how bad the extended version of the Pokémon theme sucked though. It just isn't any good.

Ash coud have lost to anyone else than his other half. But I'm glad he lost too. However, it was Ash's first league win, and I actually felt sorry for him. But this was back when I was eleven.

However, the arguement was dumb. Businesses could have been mind to avoid blow ups. And his mom was right there. If there was anyone to talk to him, she or Professor Oak could have. I would have gotten mad too.

I agree. Misty shouldn't have waited a little longer to talk to him. If you are in a league participating for the first time and lose, it would be easy to get emotional especially being a 10 year old. I don't care how much or how little training you get done.

A very heartwarming episode, I like how Ash learns a lesson in this episode. I'm glad Ritchie lost after battling Ash. I really wanted to see who won the Indigo league but that of course will never be revealed lol.

Well, I really enjoyed the ending of this League. They ended this whole entire Indigo League series gracefully. For the rest was depressive while simultaneous cocky ash hilarious to watch.

Poor Ash! At least losing the other Leagues was easier for you

Thank you Misty and Professor Oak. I wish he had told Ash this earlier, but I guess since it was part of Ash's training, he couldn't have. But, it sucks that Ritchie lost. It sucks that Sparky had to pay the price for it.
