>>55229363In general the ones worth watching are OS(Kanto), OI(Orange Islands), and the only part of Johto worth watching is the Ash vs Gary battle.
From here it gets more subjective. I personally think everything past this point is not worth watching, but you can come back and ask about that if you even bothered watching that far.
Oh, and each of the movies are worth watching. If you can stomach the average episode, then all the movies will be worth it since they're just better episodes.
>stop MC from capturing a Pokemon>And in the end apparently it was all Ash's faultAsh missed his throws and didn't have Pidgeotto knock it out. Part of the blame lies on the Samurai for getting in the way of future attempts, sure, but Ash still fucked up, and there was nothing stopping him from telling Pidgeotto to knock it out and bring it over.
>Oh, and they for some reason had a duel with two Pokemon who can't move, and didn't immediately figure out how retarded it was.Ash and many other trainers in the Animeverse are downright retarded.
>please tell me this is an outlier and it's not gonna be this dumb the entire timeAsh continues to be a fuckup for the entire anime, even until the final episode, but people who are as much of a fuckup as him like the Samurai are rare.
