The first anime episode you EVER watched?

[Lucario]

The first episode of the anime I can remember seeing was that one with meowth making noodles. I was like "woah, pokemon is on TV?"

What was the first anime episode you watched?

 

[pkmin3033]

The very first episode, when it first aired on SMTV Live. This was only a few days after I'd learned that Pokemon actually existed, and before I had a copy of Red. I quite liked it, because I liked anything animated back then; I didn't become obsessed until I realised just how big a craze Pokemon was.

Mystery on Mount Moon! I think I was just watching tv one day and it came on and from that day on my life was ruined.

Pokemon I Choose You. One morning before school, there was nothing else good on TV and the first ever episode happened to be on Sky One so I watched that and that's how I got into the Pokemon franchise.

Most probably, it was the second episode from Hoenn, the one in which Ash meets Birch and May. I was four years old then, and i don't remember much since i couldn't understand a lot of things back then.

 

[L'Belle]

The first episode of X and Y. It was when I didn't know pokémon at all really

 

[Kurosaki]

Uuum, the second episode of the Kanto anime, but it was in Japanese and my friend had to explain what they were saying, cause I didn't know a single word of Japanese when I was that young. It still hooked me, though, apparently. xD

 

[smocks]

The first episode of the first season of the anime :) My cousins insisted me to watch the anime from the very start since I was very young lol

 

[Palamon]

Very first episode of Battle Frontier. You know, that one where May was scared of ghosts. Ah... yeah. Fear Factor Phony. That was it. That may have been the name of it. But it was definitely a tiny bit before Diamon/Pearl aired~.

Challenge of the Samurai. And it was around three-to-three thirty PM, and the channel was UPN 69, right before Duck Tales at three-thirty to four, and then Hercules after that and then Doug after that, followed by two airings of Sister Sister for the 5 PM slot and back to back episodes of Frasier for the Six PM slot.

While I was aware there had been a comic thanks to Pokémon Power, I didn't even know there was a TV show until that day. And it was around Summer 1999.

This is one of the few things I don't remember from my experience with Pokemon, I know for sure it was one of the original series episodes, I just wish I knew which one it was...

 

[PokeHunterBlack]

My first episode was when I was 4/5; "Ash catch's a Pokemon!" Wow, 11/12 years ago since I first became hooked on Pokemon. Seeing Caterpie and Pidgeotto is what set me off on my rise to win the REAL Pokemon World Championship

I can't remember exactly which Pokémon episode was the first I ever watched since I started watching over 16 years ago, but I believe it was a Indigo-based episode being rerun on Kids' WB. (I'm pretty sure first-run dub episodes were already in the Orange Islands by the time I started watching, though.)

 

[Iceshadow3317]

Like most people are saying, I can't really remember. I don't even remember how I first started watching pokemon. I think maybe my first episode was when Ash caught Caterpie. It wasn't until years later when I finally got to watch the first episode on Boomerang and that was within the last 10 years.

 

[eagersleeper]

I actually picked up an episode of Pokemon by complete accident.

My mom bought an entire box of VHS tapes from a garage sale one day, and one box for something completely different (like Con Air or something) had the Ditto episode of Season 1.
I was hooked after that, and even convinced my mom to get basic cable to see what channel Pokemon was on.

 

[jfuze174]

Mine was the LT Surge gym battle I had red already so I found it cool that there was a cartoon for it hooked ever since

 

[Red1530]

The first Pokémon episode I recall seeing was The School of Hard Knocks.

 

[semi]

My first ever encounter with the world of Pokemon anime was actually through the 4th movie, Pokemon 2002, which I watched at a relative's house. I remember feeling really cool back then, because we were watching it through an ancient-styled video tape, yet it was a relatively modern animation movie. Immediately after, I started watching the anime. My kid-mind could not take the coolness of the ever-so-incredible anime adaptation of my favourite video game series.

 

[kuzronk]

The ninth episode (The School of Hard Knocks) and the fourth wall breaking joke is what comes to mind. I remember seeing the St. Anne "arc" a whole bunch (think my cousins had a VHS of it).

 

[Horn]

My first episode was the very first episode, when it started to air here in September 2000. For some reason, I decided to give it a chance and was hooked ever since.
