Watt's With Wattson? (316)

[Torpoleon]

They were need to do a rematch, but 3 on 3, not 1 on 1....

The match technically was 3 on 3. Pikachu just creamed all the Pokemon because it had too much electricity in it. It had too much electricity because of a Raikou Robot earlier in the episode.

[Ciccone]

Horrible. I don't know why the writers didn't add a rematch since Pikachu was too powerful due to the incident near the start of this episode that powered it up. Wattson was too much of a pushover in the Hoenn region, period. I liked the Raikou robot though, that was something cool to add to this episode. At least Ash and Co. know what a Raikou looks like now. This gets a 3/10.

This Gym battle was the absolute worst. But IMO, Ash won that badge fair and square because it was Wattson's fault that Pikachu got all extra powerful in the first place. Terrible episode.

[saar]

The gym battle was the worst in Hoenn, unfortunately.
But I pretty enjoyed to see how Pikachu has managed to bacome healthy, and how Wattson has captured the Electrike. He did the best in the gym battle and he was not guilty. Well done.

[Hikari Paradise]

Epic sweeping session. I felt bad for Wattson but at least he and Ash had a rematch later on.

[Swampert_trainer]

Goob job on Pikachu's part sweeping an entire gym leader team, even if it was due to an over charge of electricity.

This is the 1 gym battle I really didn't like. Ash only won because Pikachu was way overcharged for the gym battle to defeat Voltorb, Magneton, and Magnemite. It was sad to see Wattson so shaken after being defeated badly by Ash. I think Wattson should've taken the badge back after Ash tried to give it back after feeling bad about the whole gym battle. It was really cool seeing Electrike for the 1st time. It's really cute!

.9/100

This episode was ( I don't know a word to descripe it) I thought it was absolutly pathetic for Ash to completly own Wattson. I thought it was cheap and very unfair. It was sad to see Wattson sad but it was also nice to see him make a friend in Electrike.

[Angel~]

Ash's first free badge without having to work hard for it I didn't like how the writers didn't want Ash to have a rematch with Wattson. I felt sorry for him to be honest. He was so sad after being defeated badly by Ash. If there was a rematch this episode would have been a great one thunder vs thunder but instead no its bad. & I'm happy that the audience agrees because it's the truth.

Well, this battle completely sucked. Yay.

[silent_control]

It didn't suck. Did Ash force Wattson to put these damn Raikou in his Gym?

I'm not saying Wattson didn't deserve it. He did. That doesn't make the battle any better though.

[Vern]

This battle was great solely because it was a sweep. Really, these are the kinds of battles that need to come every once in a while just to differ from other battles. Not every battle on this show can be Ash vs Blaine or Brawly. We need a few Wattson's and Crasher Wake's for the hell of it. A great episode and it's more memorable than other gym battles in the region such as Juan's and Flannery's.

[32er]

Oh come on, it wasn't as bad as most Kanto gym battles where he didn't even win or in a lot of cases finish the battle yet he still got the badge.

[Hudsonn98]

This episode was a bit boring and cliched....

[Hyuuga Neji]

Pikachu being super-powered and winning the match for Ash was amusing, though I was glad Ash lost in a later episode in a rematch.

[AquaMilotic]

Of course the battle wasn't really fair, Ash and Wattson should've had a fair rematch straight away for a Badge, and not in a later episode. However, the episode was nice, and I loved Wattson's trap for challengers, with the Raikou. 10/10.

The last episode from Advanced and I really enjoyed Watson and his character. I think this badge was fairly won and here's why: When Ash overcharged his Pikachu during the Pewter City gym battle, he did it intentionally and the gym's interior had nothing do with it. Thus it was more or less an pity badge. This gym battle had the same deal, but slightly different: Ash's Pikachu was overcharged too this time, but it happened unintentionally and only Watson should be put to blame on for placing something like that in the gym in the first place.

Now, I did like how Watson later returned and how this episode was not primarily focused on the gym battle, but on the gym leader itself.
