This is one of my favorite eppies in the first season. Charmander got one of the cutest voices in the dub; and the fact that I love the Char line doesn't hurt either. Damian really came off as a sleazy baka who didn't care for his Pokémon at all; only cared for winning battles. And this is the first of many TR shockproof items...they're getting smarter! 9/10; Ash now has the Pokémon which will be the strongest on his roster in the future!^_^

I would have told Joy to bug off and put that jerk in his place. There's nothing dishonorable in striking down a terrible trainer because he abuses his Pokemon.

I'm glad they gave him Damian double dish-out in the end, he deserved it all.

after viewing this episode... and "What you seed is what you get" after it, I've realized just how many differences the Indigo seasons and the Advanced seasons really are...

the voices are all so different, the animation and music is very different as well, these episodes had more somber music peaces and so so many other things... they're almost like completely different anime

the indigo music sounded more campy and the advanced music sounded more technoiy

plus the characters acted differently to, Misty was much more likeable, Brock only blushed a little bit instead of going all out goofy like he does nowadays

it's almost surreal

This was also a memorable episode, as it was funny, creative, and Ash got a Charmander.

 

[Ryuu]

I wish Damian could be featured another time...



This was a good episode, I think this was Ash's first Kanto starter. Poor Charmander...Damian was so evil. x.x Abandoning him in the rain...what's worse, the jerk wanted him back when he saw Charmander's powerful Flamethrower. XP

DAMIAN! *explodes*

In my opinion, Damian was the only decent point about this episode. Well, apart from Jessie and James 'dancing' while reciting the motto that is. So, okay, him being there wasn't the only good point of the episode.

Anyway, my favourite scene in this episode is Brock getting p*ssed with Damian. I mean, you could really see the tension between the two. 'Course, it found it funny that Misty and Ash tried to butt in, when it was Brock's fight.

I thought that Damien WAS A COMPLETE JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[That Scary Clefairy]

Ironically, in the Ono's manga, Damian is just the opposite: Kind, sweet, caring etc.
I find that funny somehow. Yea they should have him reappear and have his ***/ kicked again. lol

Actually that would be Bulbasaur
10 Bulbasaur
11 Charmander
12 Squirtle

I never knew that Damien was nicer in the manga.

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Damian? NICE!?!? *Overloads*
Also, this is the second of the Three-Consecutive-Catches. Blech. We need a break between the three Starters.........
I hated Damian, not as in him being boring, but being evil. I can't believe he left Charmander to die. And Charmander, I can't believe how dedictaed it was. Even through the rain, it stayed there, waiting for its Trainer. I'd find that touching if Damian wasn't such a jerk. The electric proof bubble was one of TR's best inventions, and they should use it again. Plus, Damian getting pwned was excellent(and I was surprised to see he had that many Poké Balls/mon. He must be good at catching, somehow).

Overall rating:
8.8 out of 10!!
A really touching episode, and I think I may have cried at one point.

SC~ out

 

[Psychic Venusaur]

Dameon - I like his voice, but I don't like his attitude.

The TR machine was cool.

I would of KO'd Damien, what a loser.

Charmander was such a devoted Pokemon. I felt sorry for it.

Sometimes I don't even think that the Charizard Ash uses to annihilate with is this Charmander.

I thought I'd have more to say, but I guess I don't.

9.9/10, I love these three episodes (Bulb, Char, Squirt)

Oh yeah, Damian wears pink! Hahaha!

 

[ChaosMage]

Yeah, I can't watch Charmander now without thinking, "whatever happened to that little guy, he seemed to disappear when Ash got Charizard." Then i realise.

I know... it's almost as if you can regard them as completely different characters :\

 

[Phantom_Bugsy]

Teehee. Damien is so cool.

One of the best character-of-the-day appearances ever. He'd look good with Dario. XD

I thought he was awesome. And since I hate Charmander, I love him even more for leaving it to die. >D

He needs to come back. With Dario. And kiss him.

Well.....I'd just settle for him coming back. XD

 

[The Big Al]

^I am offically freaked out.

I hated personally hated Damien and wanted to give him a good punch in the mouth. They were good at creating a character you just can;t' help but get annoyed with and 4Kids was smart enough to find an annoying voice actor for him.

I personally loved Damien and wanted to give him a good ol' pat of the back for being so awesome. They were good at creating a character that you just couldn't hate, and I can't help but feel love for 4Kids for being smart enough to find a great voice actor for him.

Maddie-sama, or rather, Madeline-sama, is an awesome and interested VA. She's great at doing characters with accents. As for Damien and Dario... JerkOffshipping. Look in the Minor Character shipping thread for an explantion! XD

 

[Phantom_Bugsy]

XDD YEY FOR JERKOFFSHIPPING. And if Ponytailshipping isn't taken I'd like to steal that for Dario x Vito....

But that's not the point. XD

He's so lovable. And no matter WHO follows me around solely to disagree with me, I still love him. XD

AND THE PINK! Gawd, Damien x Mandy should be Pinkshipping. Or HotPinkshipping. Or OMGLet'sMakeAlfonsoGoNutsshipping. XD

You enjoy disagreeing with me, don't you?

That's north.
