This was one of my fave episodes in the first season. It is very touching how Meowth turned from a dirty street Meowth to a walking talking Meowth from TR.

I liked the part when Persian was hurt by Meowth and he was translating Meowsys sentence saying that he is still a freaky street Meowth.

Overall rating: 9.5/10

It was pretty cool to learn about Meowth's past, meowth learning to talk was really touching to me, I think it shows what can happen when you put your mind something.

This used to be my favorite episode. Meowth was my favorite character after that. This is one of the saddest episodes!

I'll always give this one 10/10. :)

This is still one of my all-time favorite fillers. I love learning about Meowth's past in this episode, and I love how the Team Rocket song motto plays when Jessie and James come to Meowth's rescue.

Yes, it was great to learn of Meowth's past. It's memorable episodes like this that make me realize how much the series has gone downhill in my eyes... :(

But I still love this episode. :)

If you know me I always look back at this episode. Meowth's past was very painfull Meowsy calling him the odd one out being kicked off the street sad very sad. But the saddest part for meowth must have been when he beat persian but didn't get the girl. But still this is my favorite episode of the entire show I give it a 10/10 every time a wacth it.

It was a really sweet and cute episode. I felt the pain that Meowth had to go through, just to satsify Meowsy. Poor Meowth. I felt so bad for him. I think the main point is to never give up on your dreams, no matter how impossible it looks. I think this kinda relates to Meowth. I give this episode 10/10.

A really touching, but cheesy episode. Why do the villains get all the development and history and not the heroes?

So, any idea where this episode was set in the Japanese version? There's no way the original episode had them going overseas to Hollywood.

Actually... yes, it did. The original version said Hollywood too.

Anyway, this was truly a great episode. It had without a doubt more character development than any other, and the way it's done with pensive flashbacks as Nyasu walks through his old neighborhood is brilliant. Ya gotta feel sorry for the guy, being rejected time and again by the same female Nyasu. Speaking of which her owner sure was fugly...

And on a side note I loved Nyasu's little trenchcoat. ^^

Great Stuff.

Oh my. So, according to the animators' vision of the world, my hometown, Los Angeles, is in economic depression?

...Though I'm rather happy that my city was the only real-life city in the anime to actually be acknowledged by the writers. :)

Indeed. I was half expecting him to launch into a Humphrey Bogart-esque speech at some point. "The problems of three Pokémon don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world..."
