Chikorita is one of my favorite pokemon, and this is a great episode for her. It's interesting that she showed no interest in Ash at all at first, and even bit him, but she soon came to really like him. Her battling with Charizard was pretty interesting, and I always laugh when I see the part where Charizard holds her back with his foot but she keeps trying to charge forward anyway.

It's too bad this is the last time to date that the twerps have done a motto. I think it's interesting that Ash made up a few lines this time around (I guess he's really been around Team Rocket too long ). They should have another twerp motto again someday, I really miss them.

I wished I hadn't missed this episode, because Chikorita is one of my favourite Pokemon.

It's a good episode and a nice way for Ash to catch Chikorita. I like that it ran away all the time and that it could stay warm in Ash's jacket. Really adorable scenes.
Also funny when Ash had a big plan but didn't brought any pokemon along with him.
A good episode 8.5/10

Another favoirte Jhoto episode of mine. Favorite moments were;

. Ash imatating Team Rockets Motto {I loved it when they did that, I wonder why the writers stoped. I mean you never see May/Max/Brock doing it these days, sadly}

. Ash being traped by Team Rocked and running away from them

. The jokes {A lot of the jokes were pretty funny}

So yes, over all I enjoyed the episode.

I'm glad Ash got Chikorita, it was bound to happen after they got stuck in the snowstorm

I found it rather amusing that before he even tried to capture Chikoriita, Satoshi shouted out that he was going to do it to anyone in the vicinity, just to make sure it didn't belong to any trainers or was illegal to catch due to being in a preserve or something like that. Dealing with stuff like that almost every episode, it's wonder he could even catch any Pokemon in this arc.

Very nice episode it's nice to see Ash caught himself a Chikorita. I've noticed that all of Ash's grass Pokemon tend to have a stubborn streak to them. I like how Ash made his own motto off TR's one and they got upset about it, i'm surprised he doesn't use it more in the series it fits him nicely. Ash's Chikorita is definitely a tough one it surprised both Bulbabasuar and Charizard in it's fights with them probably hurt their pride to. I like how Charizard stopped Chikorita's by just putting it's foot on Chikorita's head I got a laugh out of it, also nice to see Ash actually checked to see if that Chikorita actually belonged to someone before he tried to capture it.

Another fav. It was a super funny episode, but also very cute at the same time.

[(s.i.e)]

this episode was hilarious, there were alot of good jokes in it. 10/10.

[GoodPokemonTrainer121]

I love this episode and kinda emotional..
but still love it 8/10

[katfairy]

I loved this episode- especially watching Charizard. I love watching him be a jerk every now and then, just to show that he hasn't mellowed that much, and stepping on Chikorita's head to hold it off was prime Charizard. Of course, watching him then get completely pwned by a Grass-type the size of his foot was pure comedy gold.

[Tadashi]

^ I totally agree Seeing Chikorita take down Charizard was too funny!

I love that stubbon, hotheaded Chikorita. She's a good match for Ash. I'm glad he caught her

[pokemon fan 132]

This episode was made of win.Battle between Charizard and Chikorita was hilarious,especially the part when him put his foot on Chikoritas head just to get pwned few moments later by small but quite stubborn grass type.However im glad that in the end everything resolved in good way and im glad that Ash managed to capture Chikorita.I noticed that she is stubborn just like Bulbasaur,when you think about it every grass type pokemon which he has has that line of stubborness in them.Anyway it was interesting how first Chikorita couldnt stand Ash and than later on she started liking him becoming his friend.

I also like how Ash used moto against Team Rocket.I wish he could do it sometime again in the series.

[Igottapoo]

Good episode. Chikorita was so adorable

[Blue Snover]

Yay Chikorita.

Chikorita is my favourite of all the Johto Pokemon, and i'm glad it got some decent episode, it's just a shame that it didn't continue.

[Torpoleon]

Chikorita is cool. I like it when Ash gets Pokemon like this. Chikorita likes Ash, cool.
