Lapras getting caught in a whirlpool and Ash and friends getting swept to Pinkan Island was an original way of starting this episode in my view. I cackled when Togepi teleported Ash and friends away from the charging Rhyhorn and it just fell off the cliff. Tracey's sketch of Officer Jenny in action also made me giggle; it was so strange of him.

I liked the pink Pokémon in this episode, particularly Nidoking, Rhydon and Oddish, but disappointed that Ash didn't catch one of them.
It's too bad that he never got proper credit for helping to save everyone from Nidoking's attack.
Well Misty kind of took notice of Togepi's Metronome and prolly suspected that Togepi helped, but yea sadly nobody else thought that Togepi had saved them from Nidoking's attack.

This pink island was so awesome and for years I've wondered if the pink Butterfree from Kanto was from this island.
I've thought of that as well, tho if it was the place where that pink Butterfree came from I think the writing staff would've made Ash remember her. ^^

Team Rocket's "Pinkyland" song and fantasy was hilarious and James getting himself all excited when he saw a pink Jigglypuff and a pink Lickitung made me cackle. Poor Togepi though. It received no credit for helping against Nidoking.

Pinkan Island having pink-colored Pokemon was wonderful because it seemed like foreshadowing for Shiny Pokemon later. I liked when Satoshi and his friends helped rescue the pink Sihorn, as well as when Nidoking got angry and went on a rampage. And once again, Togepy saved the day and no one noticed.

Well not officially, though I think I remember Misty saying that she thought Togepi might have done something to stop Nidoking since she saw Togepi waving its hands.

The pink Rhyhorn would've been a great capture so it sucks how it was against the rules to catch Pinkan Island's Pokemon. When the pink Nidoking chased Ash and crew, I was foolishly hoping that Psyduck's headache powers would stop it.

I liked how Ash's pals were smart enough to remember type advantages, though it was too bad how Psyduck couldn't do anything to stop Nidoking.

Kasumi might have been thinking that Koduck's type advantage would help weaken the Nidoking, or perhaps she was hoping that one of Koduck's headache-induced attacks would activate. Then again, she might not have even had a concrete plan and could've just panicked during the chase scene.

Presumably, although that wasn't confirmed. In my head-canon, the theory does make sense however, and I wish we'd seen that Butterfree here.

The episode was alright. I liked seeing Togepi use Metronome to shield the group from the Pink Nidoking's Hyper Beam with Barrier. I was confused when Jenny told the group that Poke Ball isn't useful for catching Rhyhorn. I wish Lapras had used Whirlpool similiarly to how it was used outside of battle in the Johto games, since that'd have saved the group the trouble of getting caught in the whirlpool.
