Out of all of the episode's aired so far, what are your 3 favorites and why? Here's mine:

1. Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon
- Charizard's Evolution, Togepi's Egg is Found, Jigglypuff Appears

2. Address, Unown
- Larvitar's Life in the Egg is revealed, Cool Psychedelic Feel, Awesome Plot

3. Do I Hear a Ralts?
- Max Episode, Team Rocket Battle Masterfully, Pokedex Joke with Meowth
 
In no particular order:


1. The Ghost of Maiden's Peak
Hijinks with the supernatural and James and Brock nearly making out. Classic.

2. Holy Matrimony
Only the awesomest plot EVER. James gets chased around a bondage dungeon by a whip-wielding psychopath. While his parents just sit there. Drinking tea. Also, Rocketshippy. :D

3. The Grand Festival which I am counting as one episode because I say so
Character-wise, this trilogy was one of the greats. And any ep which features Drew being emo is a winner in my book.

4. Abra and the Psychic Showdown
Possibly the only Pokemon episode that manages (or even attempts) to be genuinely creepy. Sabrina was the awesomest non-recurring Gym leader ever and anyone who says different is smoking something. So there.

5. Meowth Rules
I wanted an Orange Island one and was torn between this and Pikachu Revolts. MR wins out because... *sniffle*... the ending... *SOBS*
 
...Why does your title say 5 and your post say 3?

*Shrugs*

- Volcanic Panic
- Who Gets to Keep Togepi?
- Gone Corphish'
- The Ties That Bind
- Wired for Battle

Really, I'd love to do a Region-by-Region listing.
 
Pikachu Revolts: Best episode EVER!!!! The first time we see Lickitung since it was caught, Team Rocket dueling mottos, Jessie and James acting good, great battles, emotion, and the first time togepi used Metrenome

Meowth Rules: An amazing Team Rocket centered episode that moves me everytime I see it. I love Jessie and James' friendship motto.

Holy Matrimony: Another great Team rocket episode with lots of humor andcharacter development + shipping!

Misty Meets Her Match: Shipping!!!!!!

Princess vs Princess: the first apperance of Lickitung and Jessie actully kicked butt in a pokemon competition. I wish she had won! *kicks pysduck*

Edit: changed my last episode

Er, favorite three or favorite five? o_o

No particular order, it's hard enough as it is trying to think of five episodes that I like on the spot ya know.

1. Let's Get the Show On the Road
Or whatever the flip the first Hoenn episode was called. I don't even know why I'm mentioning it, maybe because Pikachu was going insane?

2. St. Anne Arc
Counting it as one episode because I have the POWER. Come on, this is a classic.

3. Pikachu Re-Volts
Team Rocket was good, Ash was all "lolz Pikachu eye ned j0", and Cassidy and Butch own your soul.

4. Address Unown
One of the weirder episodes. I don't really know why I like it so much, the journey inside Larvitar's mind was just awesome.

5. Princess vs Princess
I believe this is the only Misty-centered episode that I really liked in Kanto. I was rooting for Jessie to win, but James, Meowth, Koffing, and Arbok dressing up as dolls was the best part (er, the Pokemon did it too, right?).
 
Yes, the Pokemon did.

1. Ignorance is Blissey

My favorite Jessie-centric episode. ^^

2. Princess vs. Princess

It was just funny. xD And it was my old favorite. Misty was cute here too. Yes, the doll scene at the end was sweet too.

3. Address Unown

Just... awesome. I nearly cried during Larvitar's memories. ;-;

4. Abra and the Psychic Showdown

It WAS creepy... especially that little doll-thing... I love Sabrina. *-*

5. Meowth Rules

The friendship motto was adorable... and it had some pretty funny scenes. xD
 
AAAAH! *smacks himself* How could I forget about Princess vs Princess?? *kicks Same Old Song and Dance off the list*
 
Electric Shock Showdown
Stage Fight
Mild'n Wooley

All of them contains a Raichu.
 
Aw, I left off Ignorance Is Blissey! Though I have no idea which of my original five I'd replace...
 
Can trilogy's count as one episode? If so:

1. St. Anne Trilogy (Contains 3 really great episodes, especially the final one "Island of the Giant Pokemon" where the Pokemon speak with subtitles)

2. Sabrina Trilogy (Who DIDN'T love the Sabrina trilogy?)

3. The Bicker, The Better (One of the funniest episodes ever made, the dialouge in this episode was top notch. Ash/May's bickering was witty and clever, as well as the battle of the sexes argument it turned into as soon as Team Rocket entered the fray. The final Tag battle in this episode with Jessie/May Vs. James/Ash was awesome, and then after it turns into a free for all, to see Ash and May then switch sides to get on the same team to blow Team Rocket away was really, really fun to watch. I don't think they could make another episode with such great battles, such great dialouge and chemistry, and such great comedy like this one again. Oh, and Skitty's Blizzard attack turning Corphish into an Ice sculpture? Pure gold.)

4. Grand Festival (This one was also a really great trilogy. The May/Drew/Harley dynamic was brilliant, and the battles were very well done. It may have moved higher on my list if they didn't waste time with TR, in order to give more screentime to May/Anthony and Robert/Drew.

These trio of episodes are some of the examples of May's true power that lies dormant in her character, as well as her "claim to fame" status that will surely lead her into becoming a Top coordinator some day. I really hope they're able to top this Grand Festival with the Kanto one, and if so, I may replace this off my list with the new one.

5. Love, Petalburg Style (Another hilarious episode. Norman cheating on his wife Caroline? May siding with her mother when she wants to leave for good? Max siding with his Dad over the situation? Jeez, if Norman really ever did cheat on Caroline, May and Max would be torn apart. Such, a happy, happy family needs to stick together. Good thing Norman was really only speaking with Joy to get a fireworks display ready for his wife's anniversary. Oh, and this episode proved that Norman can be as dense as Ash, almost as if they're trying to parallel something here.)

I tried to avoid putting battle-centric episodes on this list, because there was also a lot of other really great episodes I couold have concluded. The Pokemon anime is filled with tons of excellent episodes, so it's always hard to make a list.
 
- Round One Begin!
*Kingler's Centric Episode!

- A Way Off, Day Off
*All Pokemon out of their pokeballs for the WHOLE episode!

- Dig Those Diglett
*Gary + Ekans & Koffing's evolution!

- Same Old Song and Dance
*Brock's Paradise Song!

- Can't Beat the Heat
*Best battle ever!
 
(Team Rocket fan walks in)

1. Dues and Don'ts
Who *didn't* love this episode? Completely random comedy, nothing but TR goodness, and it gave me an excuse to consider Pokemon a sitcom when I wrote my script in Creative Writing. Any episode that has not one, but two quotable Giovanni lines is a winner. Actually, most Pokemon quotes I use come from this one.

2. Holy Matrimony
I'm pretty sure this is on every James fangirl's top five list. A clever story, lots of funny lines, and one of the most psychotic characters in the history of the anime (Jessiebelle).

3. Battle for the Badge
In which we got the first of many truly great Awkward Boss Meeting scenes. It's hard *not* to laugh as J&J try to think up some use for Togepi (the paperweight line is another I quote frequently). Also, a historic episode of sorts, as Giovanni's identity was finally revealed, and it kicked off a bunch of the finest filler the anime has ever seen.

4. The Sabrina arc
Since everyone else is putting down storylines as episodes, I thought I'd join the cult of Sabrina and put this down. Nicely creepy, and reminiscent of The Twilight Zone. The little doll still gives me nightmares.

5. Gotta Dance
Can I put shorts down? Because this is the greatest of all of them. Super random, and even though Meowth's fantasy breaks the "no humans" rule, there's something magically surreal about seeing Persian go flying.
 
My faves are:
To master the onixpected
so funny
i choose you
well it was the first
the great eight fate
one of the best battles
pikachus goodbye
u really need me to say why?
and i would have to say the ss anne stuff too
 
Mine

1. "Pokemon! I Choose You!"
2. "Pikachu's Goodbye!"
3. "The Symbol Life"
4. "Bye Bye Butterfree!"
5. "Charizard Chills!"
