What heartwarming twist in series
MarkLynnIreland129411 August 2022
This is one of the most beloved episodes of Pokémon I ever seen.

Prior to when I first watched this episode, Charizard was one of my favourite Pokémon, one favourite of the fire-types.

Not only to Ash, I initially didn't like Charizard being a disobedient rebellious douche even embarrassment at the Indigo League and it gives dangerous Flamethrower attacks on people - yet Ash is the trainer: it's his responsibility.

Charizard getting frozen solid is beyond brutal and should be considered possible murder of a Pokémon, unless Ash has to thaw his out. Ash rubbing his hands raw looks nasty like receiving fiction burn on skin.

With Team Rocket attack with circular saw, the big hothead dragon learns Rage attack which is new element added to earning loyalty and respect to his trainer.

Really like put in the Series 2 theme tune "Pokémon World" played during the rematch against Poliwrath and you've got one of the best Pokémon episode!

A great turning point in the series!

Before this episode, Charizard a fan favorite for many (myself included) disobeyed Ash leading to much annoyance and pain for him and us. But all that changes with this episode. When Ash and his friends start thawing Charizard out, there's a lot of drama and pathos as Ash tries to reconcile with him, recalling moments when he was younger and how Ash never gave up on him despite the hardships he caused. Add in a Team Rocket attack and a great rematch with the 2nd season theme playing afterwards and you've got yourselves a set up for greatness for our intrepid hero Ash and a small foreshadowing of a big battle coming in a few more seasons.....
