I’m reviving this thread just to say that I liked how Pichu said “Pikach-“ right before it evolved.
who claims it is as an original Netflix series (what the f-?!
Oh.Netflix original just means the version of the show available on Netflix is original to Netflix.
He was getting too big, & was holding her back.Why did Pikachu choose to leave Kangaskhan?
Oh boy. 4.4 pounds. Damn Pichu was freakin' heavy.He was getting too big, & was holding her back.

I’m guessing Pikachu bumped into Oak one day and he caught him due to Pikachu either being “rare” in the area or to “study” him.But Pikachu would be pissed resulting in Oak giving him away to a child.He was getting too big, & was holding her back.
This episode was cute, but it created more questions than it answered. Why was Pichu alone? Wouldn’t Kangaskahn be worried when he dissapeared? How did Pikachu end up with Oak?
Pokemon Yellow does not reveal secrets connected to the anime in any way.How Oak got Pikachu is kind of explained on the original Pokémon Yellow opening.
Again, this goes back to my point I made earlier in this thread (post #112) that outside context being needed to understand something is a bad directing choice. I would say this no matter the situation, but additionally in this case, I agree with AuraChannelerChris (for once!) that this doesn't really make sense anyway. People went into this episode expecting to find out how Anime Oak got Anime Pikachu. And btw the random exclamation points aren't needed. You can just write the words the way I just did.How Oak got Pikachu is kind of explained on the original Pokémon Yellow opening. There is not much need to address this point specifically.

Alternately, the issue can be summed up thusly:
They were hyping this episode up as being Pikachu's origin story. Naturally, people expected to learn new things, maybe get a few questions answered about where he came from. And it technically did give us that... but it only gave us new details that nobody really cared about, and completely skipped the part that people most wanted to see, leading to a rather jarring disconnect between the bulk of the episode and the ending in the process. It literally goes "Pikachu runs off, completely free and full of hope for the future" -> "Pikachu is in a Ball in the lab and is pissed" -> "Pikachu and Satoshi are best friends now!"
Of course, the last two points are explained by watching the older episodes, but the show doesn't even try to link A and B.
the ending of Pikachu running wild in the forest and then cutting to it first meeting ash is fine, oak randomly found this Pikachu and caught it, we really need to see that?
Can I at least be shown the moment Pikachu got caught by Oak though. Why did Oak even catch him in the first place.
And I still wonder what happened to Pikachu's parents; they should've handled that a bit better. :/
