What should we rank next? 🔥 PS: Enjoy my Ash Ketchum life lessons video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJl0ma9-vaeclXU.html

The kiss heard around the anipoke community still is a defining moment today.

I genuinely don’t think any piece of media has made me cry as much as the episode with Mallow reuniting with her mom. Both of them choosing to replace their regrets with feelings of gratitude while gracidea flowers bloom around them is such a powerful scene, and the fact that Mallow’s Shaymin has the same eyes as her mom when it turns into sky form in the last episode…

Ash & Pikachu's first episode is legendary, it carried us with so many seasons of pokemon. Every region Ash goes, Pikachu is in his team.

A few other honorable mentions I'd add to that list: 1. Ash's loss to Whitney & Miltank (we've all been there) 2. Goodbye episodes for the Kanto starters (Butterfree, Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Pidgeot, Pikachu) 3. Ash's sacrifice against Mewtwo

I was SO disappointment and sad that Team Rocket didn't reunite with Arbok and Wheezing during the last episodes of Pokémon when Ash was reuniting with his pokémon. It felt like such a wasted opportunity and dare I say it, they deserved better! 😭

The moment Serena cut her hair was the most emotional moment in the entire series. I nearly cried.

1 moment that hit special for me was before the World Tournament. When Ash traveled back to Alola for his special secret surprise. The exact moment was just before the end of the battle royal. The people cheering on their champion and wishing him luck on world level. For me that was a moment I realized how far his come and that he achieved the respect as all the other champions within the masters 8

I think spearow attack scene is the best moment in anime history. Ash's determination, Pikachu's power and their friendship. Pokemon anime in a nutshell.

one of the moments I especially remember is in the Pokemon Sun & Moon anime, when Ash takes Litten home, after Litten's father figure, Stoutland, passes away. That moment was really touching to me

the moment i think was one of the best for team rocket was when jesse leaves the love of her life to help james and meowth from a pokemon smuggler in the XYZ series. i cried after seeing jesse's loyalty to team rocket, truly an amazing moment that made sure team rocket would always have a special place in all pokemon fan's hearts

My favorite moment was when Ash won the Alola ( I think that’s how its spelled) league. Watching it I never could of imagine Ask winning it because he was always bet by someone stronger. But when he won the Alola league I was so happy but I was convinced that his opponent would won. When he won the worlds tournament and became the world’s strongest trainer I was super excited. Like many of us since season 1 episode 1 that Ash would complete his dream or becoming closer to it. To this day I am convinced that Cynthia can beat Leon

Frying pan evolves into drying pan

Had a rough day, but watching your take on pokemon animes top iconic moments helped me to relax and get ready for a new day tomorrow.

I am a die hard Pokemon fan, watching his series with 16years of my life(i am 18 though) just thinking Ash will be defeated now ,now now in Alola and World Championship 😅

Gotta Catch Ya Later The episode where Ash initially split with Brock and Misty, that episode marked the end of an era for me when I first watched that episode when it aired way back during my third grade year

The Champion's tournament really should've had Ash fight Alan and Iris. I dont care how corny it sounds, those were the 2 in the tournament that Ash had the strongest personal connections to. If you're gonna end it end it big. Cynthia and Steven on the other hand just didn't have much more of an impact on Ash's journey than any other champion.

The path that leads to goodbye. A small one in which Iris accidentally prevents Ash from catching a Dunsparce, and Ash gives Iris a fruit that, unbeknownst to Ash, turns out to be very sour, and they spend most of the episode thoroughly angry at each other.

The first hits harder when you remember Charizards original trainer abandoned him after losing to a Poliwag or Polywhirl. So the fact that Ash didn’t leave him after losing to a Polywrath and even took care of him. It finally proved to Charizard that Ash was a good trainer and that he wouldn’t get abandoned again. 😣 Ash & Charizard’s relationship is complicated and I love it ❤

As your breakdown of Ash defending Pikachu in ep1 made me emotional! ❤ thanks for the walk down memory lane and your beautiful interpretation of the message of the series.

Man pokemon always makes me emotional

Damn, that kiss Serena gave Ash shows how much W rizz he’s got. 😎

Let's be honest, every moment close to James hits very hard. Almost all of them are some hard gut punches.

Keep it up on your work and this video and channel I love this video and channel Thanks you for your video and channel I love Pokemon all franchise

Keep up the good work my friend My favorite will always be the Ash desth scene in Mewtwo strikes back followed by whole Entei last stand sequence from Movie 3 and Ending sequence from The power of one

The kiss was the day Misty fans raged in collective Anger. Hey, everyone i made popcorn, let’s watch the tears and hate comments roll.🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

I CANT WITH THAT LATIOS😂

Arceus and the Jewel of Life has to be THE best movie they dropped, from soundtrack to opening scene, genuinely felt like the kids were just on their adventures through sinnoh then boom mad Dialga/Palkia/Gtina plot, 10/10, Best fight scenes tho was 100% the (Paul V Ash) Infernape V Electrivire round - you know it went hard when YT videos at the time were pumping AMVs out with this as the back drop

The kiss still makes all sorts of emotions bubble up! Brilliant ❤

If this included the movies, then I think ash’s death from “I chose you” or “Mewtwo Strikes Back” would definitely be the best moments

I'm really surprised the episode with Stoutland's death wasn't here. Cause, while Pokemon *had* touched on death before it was always fairly divorced from the main cast and usually in the past tense, i.e encountering a haunted house, or a pokemon waiting for their deceased master. It's sad but, there's no connection. But Stoutland was a reoccurring character and a friend to part of the cast (Litten). But more than that, it affected ASH, he was the one that carried it to Nurse Joy, and he was the one that was told it died. It was, as far as I can tell, the first death of someone/something that Ash knew personally. Which is going to hit SO much harder than the death of a stranger in the distant past. It was a death in the cast, of someone they knew. And then they got to meet again in the Mists of Alola ep, to show it how Litten had grown and changed. Also as a pet owner who HAS lost pets (to old age) it really hit hard. Esp when Ash picked it up and was like 'huh it's really light' b/c, that's exactly what happens with very old animals as they near the end. They start to lose so much weight. So as soon as he said that I felt my heart clench. In a similar vein, the episode later with the Minior where we learn that they're basically all going to die. It's effectively the final flight of these pokemon.

I love your videos Charles!! Thank you for another wonderful video!! You’re awesome ❤🎉 hope you and Wei are doing well!!

Misty: wHy BuT tHeReS gArY sO iLl mOvE oN Gary: hElP mE

This was really a great video! I agree with these choices. My favorite moments were when Ash and Greninja mastered the Ash-Greninja form. Serena throwing Snowballs to knock some sense into Ash. Infernapes ultimate revenge against Paul when he defeated his Electrivire. Ash taking good care of Larvatar yet I wished he caught it. The Team Flare Arc was simply amazing! Hunter J is the best villain Pokemon ever made! Fight me! That’s it for now.

I still remember the day the watched Ash saying goodbye to butterfree ( i actually cried) also for me the best original series battle would be Charizard vs magmar ❤

I still remember watching with chills as Ashes Infernape faced Paul’s Pokémon. In context this is the chimchar that Paul gave up on, this is the one Pokémon Paul wanted and then decided was too weak for his team. Now evolved into an Infernape he stood before Paul and his team with a roar and intense fire mane, without words saying “you didn’t want me, now you’ll fear what I have become.” It solidified visually how Ashes training style was just a better way than Paul’s. after seeing that episode about a week later I got Pokémon diamond on my ds. I chose Chimchar as my starter and later on found that that was the best choice due to the lack of fire types in the diamond and pearl games

Ah yes the alola league, the first official league he ever won and all it took was a grandfather screwing over his own grandson to keep ash in a fight he officially lost, thanks hala

So many good moments and I 100% agree with this list the memories of the mist episode makes me cry every time I watch that episode but it is so good Ash winning the World Tournament that whole battle had me at the edge of my seat and I literally loudly cheered for Ash The amourshipping kiss sent me and made me so happy and it was well deserved Great video!

Your videos are always so high quality its kinda insane

12:56 Ever thought of this? Every time Ash joined a league, he lost. Then Serena kissed him... and he won 2 in a row! (I'm a huge amourshipper so..)

this was so awesome to watch,❤ i just got transported to my childhood😢❤❤😊

When I saw the ash vs leon fight I was on the edge of my seat when i saw pikachu collapse i got so sad i was saying i knew it was to good to be true he couldnt win then you see every single pokemon ash caught or helped cheering pikachu on then the OG theme playing with ash turning his hat backward old school style i cried then when i heard the referee say pikachu was the winner i lost it i cheered so loudly i waited for that moment since I was a kid that joy it brought me to see him become the very best I will always remember

TBH Charmeleon switching up on Ash always bothered me. IDK if 4kids altered any particular text leading up to it's evolution but like, bruh Ash saved you from whatever his name was and believed in you. How???

great video for me personally the episode with giovannia and the first time they showed mewtwo was making my brother and me insane and hyped af for the movie!

My favorite moment is when our girl Serena💚👢kiss our boy Ash🧢⚡️💚👢😅👍

Hit super effectively, one could say

good video, but theres no way ash's speech vs Lysandre isn't at least an honorable mention

The best team rocket episode is definitely "a fork in the road" from kalos quest

you really know how we feel

Litten and Stoutland fully made me cry and like not even the dub suger coated it at all

Serena : * kisses Ash on the cheeks * The community : WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHH Sapphire (who confessed to Ruby) : am I a joke to you?

The reaction to the kiss gets me every time

I seriously loved the Infernape battle, that made me even more convinced that Infernape = best Fire/Fighting pokemon

Haven't seen one of your videos in a while so I figured I'd click on the first one I saw in a while. I am not used to the quicker talking. Makes me think this is a different person if I didn't know better.

I literally got goosebumps with every points

12:46 and a powerful pokemon-partner Kamehameha. What an amazing video!!! BTW where can we watch the new anime in English dub? I've been waiting for the dubs ever since it was announced around July this year and almost 4 months later, they aren't available online.

Amazing video, I really enjoyed it! Can you please talk about Pearlshipping?

Have a great sunday charles

It's May! 9:45

Charizard redemption arcs >

I will never forget the Tyranitar incident

Number 6 on this list absolutely destroyed me when I watched it. This doesn’t even mention the stoutland component of the episodes

I would do anything to be in the pokemon world as a trainer, It'd be not just my dream though, I could see others wanting it.

Moments that tugged on the heart strings and moments were the it fell like the writers kicked us in the crotch lol

Charizard vs Entei was epic af

Hm, how very interesting, I wonder Horizon’s Version of this List will look like?

I’m a wholesome series like Pokémon there’s a bottomless pit of these moments

Team Rocket do have their moments.

Wish I had a porygon experience

The kiss funny to me. Because after serena kissed ash, he did a movement that looks like he said, anyways.

niCe

The first episode hit hard rewatching after the last episode aired

your pluses in the background are so cute were did you get them?

all the more reason to bring Ash ketchum back sometime after gen 10.

Ash's greatest human companion was Brock, but his truest companion will always be Pikachu.

imo the team rocket episode that beat out the arbok and weezing episode was the one in xy where Jessie actually considered to leave the team and how the other two responded and sacrificed themselves wrecked my heart. and it’s a bit disappointing you didn’t mention torracat and stoutland in the mallow episode. i think the episode where stoutland was super heart wrecking. and ngl i was kinda hoping and expecting this list to be about heart wrecking moments. i hope you make a list more focused on that.

What is the song during 4:50?

The challenges they faced.*shows misty*

Serena may have kissed Ash, but Latias beat her to his lips first.

Every moment hit is different 😊 but Ash finally leaving... 😢💔

NOT THE DOUNUTS

What if the thunderbolt that was used on those spearow was actually pika pow pow?

7:00 She went to space, right? RIGHT?

if thay ended the ash arc with xyandz i wold ben ok with it

I WANT ASH BACK

My favourite is still the episode with litten and his mentor. The second one.

Why did you add SAO hug scenes?

🥺🥺💔💔❤️❤️

professor Ivy fr

My favorite part is when Ash based video do better than Pokemon horizon

a series with ashes rivals and companions would be cool everyone trying to get him for on reason or another to beat him join him be his girlfriend or pokemon wanting to get stronger mf's still trying to steal pikachu his dad lol other protags like wes and micheal so much can be done with ash still even meeting the captain

Man, pokemon really hits different. A great era ended and another one is coming soon and yet as much as I love ash's saga, some die hard fans just cling onto him as if his 25 year stay wasn't sufficient, not to disrespect the boy but man, they really need to let go

Serena will never be with Ash, because he too clueless to feels that.

Ash never been in a signal Pokémon game expect Master EX

i was so happy when ash's story ends and new pokemon horizons start it much better for me at least

What I don't get about Serena though is, how is cutting your hair magically make you better at something? It shouldn't. You have to work towards things. Having short hair shouldn't magically make things better 🙄

Yeah I can’t believe Jessie and James released Arbok and Weezing to save the Ekans and Koffing and use other new Pokémon to follow ash

Wow u look like mr beast❤😅

How can people hate Ash??

Where is the moment where ash left greninja 🙂
