Oh Sparky. How I love it so. That hair is just too amazing. If only they had one in-game. But, the episode was good. Team Rocket was annoying.

This episode introduced Ritchi....who is similar to Ash, even his Pokemon were same as Ash's and they had weird nicknames. He was a really boring character IMO.
Aside from Ritchi's introduction, the rest of the episode's plot was focused on Team Rocket stealing Pokémon. I thought It's cool when Ritchi and Ash found their Pokemon and defeated Team Rocket, but it was odd when the van was still moving without it's front portion.

It was a good move that Richie did in putting stickers on his Pokeballs so he could tell them apart from others.
I want to know how trainers know which Pokeballs are theirs if they're all bunched together with other trainers.

Looking back, Ritchie was too much like Ash in my opinion; I mean aside from both having Pikachu as their main Pokemon, their personalities were also very similar. I really enjoyed seeing them chase after Team Rocket and fight to get all the stolen Poke Balls back to their trainers. Them being each other's next opponent was so cliche though.

Richy was such a nice guy and he seemed like Red from the games almost. My favorite scene was when he and Ash were told that they had to battle.

So Satoshi met Hiroshi in this episode, and it was nice to see them get along even in the midst of the Rocket-dan's Monster Ball theft. I thought that Hiroshi nicknaming his Pokemon was quite original, and seeing Hanako and Okido-hakase at the Sekiei League as Satoshi's cheering section was awesome.

Richie seemed to be a jack of all trades instead of being an Ash clone. I like how he gave his Pokemon nicknames instead of just calling them by their regular names: it sets him apart from most other trainers.
I did like how he customized them himself, which of course came in handy when he had to locate which Poke balls were his here. I kind of wish Ash had done something similar to identify his.
Unlike others, I liked Richie. And I was glad that Richie had his own Pikachu and Charmander. I liked the way that Team Rocket had Ash and Richie trapped in their trailer once they made off with the stolen Pokemon. But I'm wondering why Ash was surprised that Richie was his new opponent in the end since technically, they were competing against each other by default this whole time.

Ash wasn't expecting that he'd have to face his new BFF so soon.

Ritchie was a lot like Ash, except less skilled from what we saw. Then again, he seemed much smarter than Ash.
Well yes it's true that Ash and Ritchie were essentially league rivals all along since they were after the same goal of winning the tourney, but I don't think either of them expected that they'd have to face each other so soon after becoming friends. ^^

I think the parallels between Hiroshi's team and Satoshi's team was done on purpose since both characters were so much alike and both were based on Red from the games.
