    I couldn't stand the episode with the clefairys, I didn't like the geeky little scientist guy, can't remember his name.
    My favourites would have to be "Here comes the Squirtle Squad!" orrrrr "The Tower of Terror" (where Ash first meets the Haunter he uses to battle Sabrina)

    I just like the episode with the clefairys because the scientist is such an idiot and then because of clefairy and jigglypuff's little brawl
    the tower of terror is really funny too
    i also like the episode where pikachu and Ash are training with the police pokemon (the growlithes)

    I've been rewatching series 1 recently because I've got it all on DVD now! Anyway, random things I noticed:

    - Fillers usually have more story
    - Team Rocket seem to take up more time here than Sinnoh (do they actually? They're more annoying here, anyway)
    - It's not this region that holes and Team Rocket go together...maybe Orange Islands or Johto?
    - Misty never gets a serious battle because of Psyduck
    - Goldeen is non-existant
    - Staru/Starmie and Horsee and Pidgeotto are practically non-existant (unless Team Rocket are around...)
    - Brock's fancing every girl thing is funny because he doesn't go crazy everytime.
    - The only gyms Ash actually earns badges in is the 3rd and 7th gym. The 3rd is the only good gym battle. I rewatched Charizard vs Magmar and thought it was alright, not great. The 5th gym only gets 30 SECONDS of battle time. What...
    - Ash has the craziest (which was actually serious) idea he's ever had - make Pikachu into a police dog
    - 4Kids kept small bits of Japanese text in (random episodes I can remember) Go West, Young Meowth (Meowth dancing around with letters behind him...I suppose they couldn't edit moving text) and The Ultimate Test (the days of the week on a poster) and there were other times, too
    - However, 4Kids usually did extremly bad edits done on computers, which you could tell from a mile away. I mean, it would actually stand out. Me and my sister had fun picking out 4Kids edits...

    Best episodes:

    Electric Shock Showdown
    The Ghost at Maiden's Peak
    The Ultimate Test
    The Breeding Centre Secret
    Holy Matrimony!
    Go West, Young Meowth

    Worst episodes:

    Clefairy and the Moonstone (BORING.)
    Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village
    Hypno's Naptime
    So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd
    Beach Blank-Out Blastoise

    Episodes that are EXACTLY the same

    - Tentacool and Tentracruel
    - Dig Those Diglett

    They have exactly the same plot, people are destroying the Pokemon's habitat, even the "you get free hotel tickets if you help!" part o.O

    Soul Badge battle was okay, charmander K0'ed golbat too quickly though

    My fav gm batle in season 1 is definietely the thunder badge battle. That's also porbbly my fav episode, cuz Misty actually identifies TR with disguises, Pikachu owns a Raichu, and Nurse Joy completely owns Ash and Misty XD

    My favorite Season is the 9th. The battle were awsome and a exciting history.
    My favorite episode... hm...
    Maybe the battle against Brandom in the Final. A really cool battle.
    And when Anabel appears and the couple of episodes in Great Festival in Kanto.

    gosh, i know what you mean
    i've also noticed that team rocket was a little bit more demon in season one than any other season. in the other seasons they show their soft side a little more.

    lol i remember that episode. I cried too (when i was little) i also cried when butterfree left
    some people were talking about boring episodes earlier. well i think one of the most boring episodes in the season is when the gang runs into that ghost who thinks Brock is her missing love or something. Man I almost fell asleep watching that.

    LOL! Is it the one with the Gastly? That episode is not bad actually... I mean its the first time i saw the combination of Venusaur and Blastoise! Venustoise!! Remember that??
    To me the episode that made me yawn to death was when Ash and the gang was in Mount Moon... Nothing much in that episode... BORING!!!

    I haven't any episodes since the Johto season, but the first episode will always be one of my favorites. I remember being really young when I first saw it and being awed by the inclusion of Ho-oh. When I started playing the games, I was disappointed that this rainbow bird Pokemon wasn't in it so I searched the web until I found info about it on some half-translated Japanese website. Ho-oh kept me eager for Pokemon Gold/Silver and got me into the TV series.
