The raticate guy is weird and creepy, ash trading butterfree is not in his nature, and James buying magikarp for the get rich scheme is odd considering he comes from money

Yeah the Ratticate is hideous. And Ash had been with that Butterfree since its start.
I remember watching that ep when it first aired, and I refused to believe Ash would let Butterfree go that easily. He didnt even seem to give a fuck. Hes just like well this is what trainers do, Butterfree. See ya! and if I remember correctly, it was a two parter, and at that early time in the anime it rarely had multi part episodes. the whole experience was off putting. And it all pointless because Ash finally does let Butterfree go a few episodes later anyway. And that episode was much better than the st Anne one --- now this is podracing ... Copied to Clipboard!

That the guy basically peer pressured him into the trade and then fucked right off and then Ash regretted it pretty much instantly. Although IIRC Ash was giving away his "friends" left and right in that show anyway --- PSN/Steam ID: Metalsonic_69 Big bombs go kabang. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I hadn't seen the episode in ages so I have just watched it again.
hypnox posted... ash trading butterfree is not in his natureAsh seemed pretty unsure about the trade from the start but Brock was in a world of his own at the time since there was a pretty girl there so when Ash turned to Brock for advice, Ash took Brock's "yeah..." as the go ahead. One instant regret later and here we are. hypnox posted... James buying magikarp for the get rich scheme is odd considering he comes from moneyJames did run away from home so he was probably also assuming he wasn't entitled to any money. Also no one knows James comes from a well off family until much later in the series. --- "Fungah!" Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Trading is one of the things in the games that doesn't work well in the anime. Same as Chameleon/Charizard becoming disobedient.

Considering he was basically strong-armed into it, it's understandable. But in general the whole thing was uncomfortable between the coercion, Ash's personal ties to his Pokemon (which also made transferring them to Oak awkward), and the fact he immediately regretted it. As for the why was he strongarmed into doing it, keep in mind he's ten. This is a (albeit fictional) example of why laws restrict adults from making deals with minors.
FrozenBananas posted... And it all pointless because Ash finally does Which is what really made the thing annoying. GanonsSpirit posted... Trading is one of the things in the games that doesn't work well in the anime. Same as Chameleon/Charizard becoming disobedient. While they can't just trade with total strangers, it can work when the trainers and Pokemon know each other. Trading Pokemon would also feel less crappy than just sending them to Oak. helIy posted... trading in the anime was weird as hell to me Registering the Pokeballs probably, because if they went to deposit them at a Pokecenter they'd have to go to the right place. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

why are the orange island episodes not canon? Sure they aren't a place that exist in the games, but ash and co go to many places not in the games
