Debut of the ace of Hoenn, Treecko! It was nice seeing Ash helping Treecko out trying to save his home tree. Treecko was the perfect Pokemon for Ash to catch as he shares a lot of his personality.
The debut of Buizel! Buizel was such a powerhouse in this episode. Going through the gauntlet of Dawn, Zoey and Ash, defeating all of them! Then captured only after a rematch in a tough battle. Oh and Misty lure. :) I miss haughty Buizel.
Ash finally defeated Brandon. One his biggest victories at the time. Really loved seeing him do the victory with Charizard, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and of course Pikachu! All had shining moments this season. A great conclusion and victory!
A nice back to normal episode after the exhausting Kalos League and Team Flare arcs. I enjoyed the change of tone here and I liked Ash having a fanboy in Alvin, clearly inspired by the hero and even watched him battle Clembot for the win!
This battle got me back into the Pokemon anime. I remember the promo for it. It was hype. Charizard battled hard and proved to be quite the powerhouse. The Ash-Gary rivalry had a very satisfying conclusion. Ash wins!
This was a hard season to choose a favorite in, but I'll pick my favorite for this one. Debut of May's adorable Skitty. I loved how Meowth fell in love with her and tried to keep her away from Jessie capturing her to not live badly with Team Rocket. lol.
