Wasn't the moral of that episode that it was okay for him to beat his Sandshrew and that Ash should mind his own business when it comes to how other people raise their Pokemon? I thought this episode was fucked up as a kid too.

He trains them pretty often though, and the newer anime often imply he does daily training offscreen while there's no problem of the week to solve

It is pretty bad. Every character acted like an asshole. AJ's methods are extremely sketchy but it's okay because his Pokemon want to be with him I guess. Ash tries to gaslight AJ's Pokemon into leaving him not for their own safety but because of his personal grudge against AJ himself. Brock and Misty go from criticizing Ash, to criticizing AJ, to criticizing Ash again. I don't know what you are supposed to take away from the episode at all when everybody was insufferable.

Trainers all had whips in the Gen 1 days. That was quickly retconned but that still made it in to the early days.

Seems like one of those moments where are series tries to justify or downplay some of their weirder lore and implications. Whips were originally part of the game so that probably made its way into early production of the show

The whip evokes the image of the classic beast tamer. The person who cracks a whip and makes animals perform amazing feats. That's an aspect of Pokemon training, just like making them fight each other until they pass out.

What happened to the lore stating that Pokemon love to battle and push their limits? Is getting whipped into shape somehow more harsh than things like meditating under a waterfall or breaking stone with your bare fists? If we're gonna pretend like it's warm fuzzy mode all the time without the monster taming or competitive edge we should have just stuck with tamagotchis.

Indeed the moral of the episode is that what happens between a man and mon is only their business and no one else.

Back in my day, REAL Pokemon Trainers used whips to discipline their Pokemon into LEAN, MEAN, FIGHTING MACHINES! You don't see them, anymore, all the snowflakes in the Participation Badge Generation would rather shove friggin' poffins in their mouths & make them wear dresses for contests.

The episode about the Rhydon who can swim to reach an island of apple trees legitimately pissed me off. It clearly did not want to be caught, and yet Ash and his faggy friends + the random bitch NPC of the episode chased it around and beat it into submission to catch it anyway.

the sandshrew clearly liked it, if you are an achiever in life or use the gym you understand you need people who are willing to be tough on you and discipline your behavior. The sandshrew was proud of who he was because his trainer believed in him enough to push him

It's an exploration of conflicting morals that are being defined by children without adult supervision. AJ's methods may seem cruel but they get results and his Pokemon respect him for it. Ash may seem to have the moral highground but he's only truly invested in seeing the "right" thing done because he dislikes AJ, and his haphazard training style doesn't result in the strongest or most loyal Pokemon. This is going to come back later in the form of Charizard's disobedience and it is going to dog him all the way to the Pokemon league and result in his loss.

The sandshrew is just casually shadow boxing in its little harness while the trainer is clearly the one conflicted on this. I think that guy just caught a weird pokemon and is trying to respect its wishes. If that's what sandshrew needs in order to get the most out of training I don't see the problem

I suppose its relative. Pokemon hit each other with worse things in a battle than a whip. Not like he was starving or neglecting them. Still probably not a good lesson for little kids though since they most likely wouldn't understand nuance.

Nah. Ash or Brock should catch it, and never using it until Gen 4 when it become a staple of their team and evolve rapidly. Because the only reason someone want to catch a Rhydon is to evolve it.
