- ConnectionsFeatured in Poketto monsuta: Aki no special (1997)
I love the first episode of Pokemon so much. <3 It's so nostalgic, and funny, but also so sweet, and also very cool towards the end. Pilot episode of all time.
It shows off a lot of the great things in Pokemon; cute little animals, hilarious characters and jokes, exciting conflicts involving the Pokemon, and Ash being an idiot but loving his Pokemon a ton, even going to extreme lengths to protect them.
