EP134 - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia
This is the 6th episode of Pocket Monsters Anime Premier ten.

Information technology was chosen by Shōko Nakagawa, err... y'know, Shokotan. She does... lots of stuff? Recurring extra for the movies, singer of three endings in the anime. She'south currently a host on Pokénchi and voiced Nurse Joy in M20.
(She'due south been prominently featured as a huge Pokémon fan just I'grand honestly never been sure if the actual fandom likes her or hates her.)

Animation: Team Ota
Screenplay: Takeshi Shudō
Storyboard: Yūji Asada
Assistant director: Yūji Asada
Animation director: Akihiro Tamagawa

Come up to think of it, it would've been weird if this episode wasn't chosen for Premier 10. I'm pretty sure Charizard has always been Ash's most pop Pokémon, and his release was one the well-nigh memorable things to happen in the anime.

This episode is really good in my opinion. Information technology is written by Shudo, after all.

Too, some say Charizard's release was a necessity because... well, that's even explained in-universe: he's just too powerful for Ash. I like the notion that, despite Ash's Charizard existence powerful in its ain, that's still weak compared to other Charizard. I likewise similar how they didn't shove in some subtle romantic sub-plot with Charla, she was only at that place as Liza's companion and another worthy opponent for Charizard. Of course they had to "fix" that in a later on episode but oh well.

Ash says something like "who would want a weak Charizard anyway" in the episode. Does that happen in the Japanese version likewise? I find it interesting because it sounds jerkishly out-of-character, but y'all tin tell he'south but saying that to convince himself and Charizard that leaving him there is for the best.

Shotouts to Team Rocket in this episode, by the way. I love information technology when they chronicle with the twerps and secretly help them.

Too, for having so few activeness-packed scenes, this episode has a pretty good animation. It is done by Tamagawa, afterward all. On a semi-related note, the shot where Ash points at the valley while leaving Charizard appeared in BW and now will be featured in SM also. At present typical me would mail service a comparison moving picture here only... let's just say I kinda broke my computer and so I can't right now.

Information technology's pretty minor but can I just say how hilariously awful the female Lizardon's pattern is in this episode. I don't believe Lizardon have gender differences (and this episode was made before those were even a thing in the games, right?) so they just....slapped a bow on its caput and gave information technology eyelashes and chosen information technology a twenty-four hours. Thank god they didn't try to give it dragon boobs or annihilation.

And how convenient that the group finds this Lizardon valley thing right as they're talking about how strong Satoshi'southward is!

Speaking of that BW flashback...

Liza looked horrible in the All-time Wishes manner.

I don't remember she's in the SM flashback though. And in the Sun&Moon flashbacks information technology looks similar they're redoing some scene layouts to show Takeshi and Kasumi during the "iconic" moments, instead of how the BW flashbacks handled it where they more or less tried re-creating the old scenes faithfully. So when recreating this scene:

Best Wishes redid information technology pretty faithfully:

But in Sun&Moon the camera is zoomed out like this:

Which is fine, it'due south a chip more interesting in my opinion and so we get a slightly different view of an older scene. That being said, if they wanted an iconic shot with the whole gang in it why didn't they just use this scene?

Which, imo, is more interesting to look at than the one that they chose.

I don't believe Lizardon have gender differences (and this episode was made before those were even a affair in the games, correct?) then they just....slapped a bow on its caput and gave it eyelashes and chosen information technology a twenty-four hours.

Right, gender differences were introduced in the Sinnoh games, with some older Pokémon receiving variants, just Charizard was non ane of them.

Every bit a parallel to this Charizard'due south bow, female Wobbuffet were given lipstick in the games, only I think that's pretty funny considering the cartoonish blueprint of the Pokémon.

Best Wishes redid information technology pretty faithfully:

That shot pisses me off considering it's iconic, pretty nicely drawn, and would exist perfect... if someone hadn't screwed the colors for his left sleeve. That shot was used in promotional material quite a lot earlier the episode actually aired, merely seems like they still missed information technology. On superlative of that, they never corrected it for subsequent airings, despite other errors in the episode did go fixed. Ugh...

That being said, if they wanted an iconic shot with the whole gang in it why didn't they just use this scene?

Possibly because it's a flake more ambiguous without context for the new viewers. Ash pointing makes it pretty articulate he'southward ordering Charizard to go out, while you lot can't really tell what's going on with this shot alone, other than they're running away from him and are apparently saddened.

Thanks for posting the three versions, by the style.
