I remember Ash in the first season as a total newb as a trainer, but now he seems more knowledgeable about pokemon.

I like how mature Ash was, with him teaching May some good pointers. Team Rocket as always was hilarious, nice to see Giovanni this episode. Team Magma had a big debut, they are looking like huge villains so far. Really loved this episode, from beginning to end it was very entertaining.

Well well, Ash does remember how to a trainer when teaching May....then he plans on his first gym battle with just Pikachu...

1 step forward, 5 steps back.

So now we have Team Rocket and Team Magma (I guess that's what they are called)... Plot is already starting!

Relicanth was always such a weird Pokemon to me it makes sense that it's ancient Pokemon.
Sorry for my english xD!

RIP Kentaro Miura :(
RIP Akira Toriyama :(

@krejola It's based on and named after the coelacanth which is still around today after over 400 million years, so it makes sense that it would be an ancient Pokemon.
