Lol, James trading Victreebel for a Weepinbell was so dumb. What a pointless subplot that was since he ended up with nothing in the end...
Wasn't this where we had a new animation style change? I vaguely recall the colors becoming brighter and me getting upset by the sudden changes.
Props to the writers for changing the episode format for animation, but this was so long ago, way before Serebii made this thread.
Elekid deserved better than to have Casey as his new trainer.
BulleDeChagrin said:Kind of sad there wasn't more focus on Victreebel leaving the cast. It had been on the show for about 200 episodes after all! This is the second time something major happens for a main cast Pokemon without the episode focusing on them in just a few episodes (the first being the completely random evolution of Pineco).
I always loved Victreebel's scream, it's such a random voice, but it works so well!
