I'm assuming this thread doesn't exist as none of the original series reviews are in the index thread.

This is a nice little episode with a simple plot to follow the downright bizarre and seizure-inducing episode directly before. But, despite that, I do have a couple of gripes with the episode.
Due to the fact that this episode was not on the schedule for Pokemon before its four month hiatus started it is generally believed that this episode was only made after the "Pokemon Shock" incident had happened, and due to that you can notice how cheaply it was made when watching it. Not that that's a big problem, but it gets a bit annoying seeing the same shots repeated over and over again, having two flashback montages throughout the episode, etc. Of course it works entirely in the episode's favour but it's not so great when you're watching it as a normal episode of the show.
4/5
