I call BS.

This episode had four guns pointed at Ash, AND a bazoka that got fired.

....Why did that one episode get banned for having a gun.

That moment when Ash is protecting Squirtle from the blast is so cute.

I wonder why this episode isn't blacklisted with its guns.

That. 4kids fabled censorship must have missed this episode. I think squirtle should have kept the shades. They gave him a +10 to coolness.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised with all of 4Kids' dubbing of Pokemon so far. They're way more lax with this than they were with One Piece. Brock had a dagger in the Bulbasaur episode, and in this there's guns as well as rice balls (replaced with chocolate chip cookies in One Piece, lol).

I agree, Squirtle looks so cool in shades, and it would differentiate Ash's from the rest. But, seeing his eyes is kinda nice too, 'cause you can see his emotions better. Either way, he should be rockin' those sunglasses given the chance.

What's wrong with rice balls ? 0.0

Lol. Yep, the moment squirtle takes of the sunglasses it's like he transformed from cool to cute. Both looks are good, but cool gave him more personality.

Yes it's funny that this episode was okay for 4kids yet the Dratini one wasn't. Oh well, 4kids logic = no logic.

Didn't expect the first squirtles in the anime to be delinquents lol. So Satoshi got his Zenigame. Yokatta desu ne, Satoshi xD Also surprised that Satoshi has hadn't interaction with Gary (or whatever his Japanese name is) yet since the first episode. We saw a glimpse of him this time though.

This episode was good, and I like the parody they made when doing that gang of pokemon.
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.

Fushigidane *check*

Hitokage *check*

Zenigame *check*


Still one of my favorite episodes. The team is complete now.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Aww that Squirtle at the end was super cute. That gang was indeed mischievous but it's no surprise that they are like that considering the past that was given for them. I have a feeling meowth did that plan just so e can have the food lmao. I enjoyed this episode lots.

Yet they still referred to them as "jelly donuts", also in this episode (not just the one with the Mankeys) lol

funny Gary cameo

And I agree, they should have kept the safari zone episode if THIS is allowed as well:

The Safari Zone episode literally had a guy using his pistols to try and shoot Team Rocket. There's a big difference between aiming rifles at someone, and literally shooting at characters, which was most likely one of the reasons why the Safari Zone episode didn't get dubbed. Apples and oranges.

What smart and independent squirtles! This episode made me think, remembering the previous charmander episode: what kind of fools are there that brought squirtle squad to the level of savage? And besides, they surprisingly well exist without a coach.

Man there was guns and bombs in this episode. James with the mp5 and Jesse with an rpg. Not to mention Ash almost getting blasted by the town folks. And those Squirtle's were yakuza bro. 

It's nice to see that Ash got all the starter Pokémon. Honestly my favorite episode so far for being edgy and a little over the top.

Once again, great episode, the starter triology ends of on a high note. this episode gains points simply by being the funniest epsiode so far, and by virtue of having the squirtle squad who litterally everyone loves.

Finally, all pokemon who want to get by satoshi have done.

Zenigame was hated human, but because satoshi save him, he to be interested and believe human again. and adventuring with satoshi.
