Ash's group is capable of forgiving villains after all.
Which is a huge flaw IMO. Team Rocket could've betrayed Ash here which would've made Ash's sympathy for them meaningless.

Hmmm hypothetical yes they could have, but they didn't and in fact they helped Ash's group out somewhat so I wasn't too bothered about their roles here.
But it was James's fault that the raft Ash's pals used got destroyed since he kicked Magikarp. TR just ruined things like always.
I suppose that part really was Team rocket's fault since it resulted in an angry Gyarados chase and all that, but hey it made the episode's ending so much better.

Basically TRio caused the Dragon Rage, which resulted in Ash and co splitting up from their Pokemon.
I really love this episode specially because TR and Ash's friends worked together.It was sweet when James didn't want to cross the rope to get on the other side and Jessie encourages him. <3 James calls Jessie as Jessica as well.That's rare.Overall It was pretty enjoyable!
I don't even understand why he did. I mean, he never calls her Jessica again after this episode.

My favorite part of this episode was when James sent out his new Magikarp to swim through the hole even though it just splashed around.

This was a great episode. I liked seeing Kasumi's Tosakinto rescue the Rocket-dan since she rarely did stuff of importance, and Kojirou kicking his Koiking made me feel bad for the little fish. Of course, my feelings changed when it became a Gyarados and chased after Satoshi and the Rocket-dan at the end.

I love this episode and the one after, I just seem to like it more then Ash and TR works together as opposed to them fighting each other. Was a bit teary with the Jenny burial scene, but how did she even know their names?
There was some dumb things about this episode like the fact that the authorities even knew the 5 were on the St.Anne in the first place when the tickets were given away for free without any kind of registration and Team Rocket had snuck on anyways and went undercover as staff. Or the fact that the Kanto starter trio, Geodude, and Team Rocket's Pokemon off set the balance of the ship on the rock but Onix who is significantly heavier than all of them combined doesn't cause the ship to topple over when Brock summons it to use it as a stair case. Or how callous the twerps looking telling Team Rocket to grab a water Pokemon when they know full well they don't have one.
And yet...I really like this episode. A lot of fun gags with Team Rocket like the sun tanning fantasy or Jessie and James moment on the vines.
One of my favorite lines in the series
Jessie: I'll always remember what a snappy dresser you were
James: So will I.
Brock telling the story of Noah raises questions. Like Christianity and Judaism exist in the Pokeverse? I know this is before gen 4 retconned Arcaeus into being God but .....? is Brock a Christian? Is Ash a Buddhist?

We also see a crucifix in the maiden's peak episode, so I guess that Christianity exists in the anime, although only in these old episodes.

It's probably early installment weirdness.

Another amazing early episode. The whole intro raises so many questions about their 'deaths', which is why I always thought that scene was more a hallucination of Ash's like TR dreaming they're on the beach. It explains why no one later brings it up.
I always love when TR and Ash have to work together, since both are stubborn but kind hearted, which makes for nice interactions. I also love how each Pokemon on the main cast (except poor Zubat ) got something to do in this episode.

Good episode. It was kind of confusing seeing Jenny somehow knowing that Ash and his friends, as well as TRio, failed to make their way out. I liked everyone using their Water Pokemon to escape, although Magikarp ultimately proved to be useless. This is also the first episode mentioning humans eating Pokemon. James kicking Magikarp out of frustration was dumb, and I didn't like how the newly evolved Gyarados summoned more of its kind when it grew tired of pursuing the group.

Did Gen 4 retrocon Acaeus into being God? Haven't played the games, or seen the anime in a long time; the most I can go by is the Pokedex entries. The most they say is that Acaeus created the universe in Sinnoh mythology.
That is a funny line.
Didn't catch that about Onix, silly me.

I really wish that Takeshi had used his Zubat for scouting purposes here, like during the scene where Satoshi's Pigeon found the Rocket-dan in the sea. Zubat was criminally underused in OS.
