Don't Touch That Dile! (119)

[Sayho1234]

After seeing the BW premiere episode I have to say that I've grown a much stronger appreciation for this episode! I'm sick and tired of the 1st episode of every new region being: Ash ditches his entire team (minus Pikachu), something horrible happens to Pikachu, Pikachu's power level gets reset, Ash meets a new girl, Pikachu fries the new girl's bike, etc. This particular episode is unique in the sense that it just simply goes onward with Ash's journey from the previous episode/saga, and I really like it alot that it just continues on with Ash's journey with respect for the audience who had followed his journey from the previous saga/regions !

The new premiere episodes of new regions just reboot it to the point where it just simply insults the audience's intelligence by showing Ash making really n00bish mistakes despite his experience from the previous sagas/regions, and by also pretending that the previous sagas/regions had never ever happened period.

I don't see where you get that. The start of AG and DP purposely made it clear he was a mature and experienced trainer.

Its only BW that seems to not make that obvious.

This episode was alright. Elm was a pretty cool guy since he doesn't pay much attention about the things around him since he's too wrapped up in his work. Other than that it was just pretty average and all.

This episode was ok. When I 1st saw this, I was glad to see my favorite "group" of starters in the 1st episode. Unfortunately this episode set the stage for repeat starts for other regions' 1st episode... Professor Elm was cool.

20/100

This episode was cool. Professer Elm was very clumsy. Glad to see The 2nd gen starters and Totodile show some affection to Jessie .

7/10

Professor Elm was great, Totodile was funny, Cyndaquil was cute and this was a good first episode for a region. 9,5/10.

It's Chikorita!
I LOVE the Johto Journeys intro theme! Samuel Oak... lol. I wonder if that nurse Joy liked Professor Elm. Sort of seemed like it when she started talking about human relationships. Jessie whipping her hair back and forth with the Totodile on it was funny, and that Totodile was cute. I was sort of hoping we would see the Totodile meet its new trainer. Oh well, a great first episode for Johto!

Loved seeing Suicune at the beginning. This was probably my first time ever seeing it, so I found it very interesting. I also really liked the Totodile because I remember that I found it hilarious when it was biting down on Jessie's hair. The Cyndaquil was also very cute!

[Swagsire]

Well, Suicune was pretty sick! And we get to meet good ol' Totodile. Also, I love when Brock calls himself mature. I miss problem solver Brock Qwaa...

Great great great introduction to Johto. Appearances of both a legendary Pokémon and the introduction of Johto's starter Pokémons. I think they did this greatly and it was unique in the way that it differentiated from the other first episodes from the other seasons.

[TheSirPeras]

The first episode of Johto!! I had this on tape lol. This episode was pertty good, the ticklish Cyndaquil was soo cute xD

[Angel~]

An excellent episode to start the Johto saga. I loved how Ash, Misty, & Brock saw a Suicune, It looked very pretty. It was so cute when Misty was tickling Cyndaquil. This episode was done greatly and it was unique. The Japanese opening for this season is the best and one of my favorites.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

A good first episode. We got to see Suicune and Totodile was funny in this episode as well. Professor Elm sure does talk a lot though. And that's coming from me.

[Dragontail]

Professor Elm was my favourite here. Totodile was hilarious in Jessie's hair (no pun intended), and it was overall a great episode.
