Ash Ketchum was just a normal ten-year-old boy back in 1997 when the first ever episode of the Pokémon animated series was broadcast. Living in Pallet Town with his mum, he enjoyed watching Pokémon battles on his TV and dreamt of one day becoming a famous Pokémon Trainer. Luckily for him, Professor Oak was taking on new recruits that next day as he had three new Pokémon that were perfect for training – Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander.
.

Ash finds it hard to sleep that night, but eventually falls asleep and dreams of throwing Pokéballs. Unfortunately he picks up his Voltorb alarm clock in his sleep and throws it, smashing it. With no alarm, Ash oversleeps and is late down to Professor Oak’s lab the next morning. The three Pokémon have already been given out to eager young Trainers, one of them is Gary, the Professor’s grandson and Ash’s arch rival! Ash pleads with Oak to let him have a Pokémon, and there is one left but there is a problem with it – it shocks anyone who tries to pick it up. Ash doesn’t care, though, he’s just happy to have Pikachu as his first Pokémon!
Pikachu is so cute!Ash is really lucky
try some better moments like losing its lustsrus and double team turnover they are my fave eps 4 some reson (mabey cause i really admire team galactic and i think they r really cool?)
hi
notice the lightningbolt on the pokeball
pikachu is cute
i remember that episode off by heart and i remember the adverts because i was about 3 or 4 years old
i have not seen this episode becouse i started to play pokemon when pokemon Diamond and Pearl came out but looks wiked!
I saw this eposode on someones ‘my space’ they hade this and Ep 2 Ep 3 Ep 4 Ep 5 Ep 7 and Ep 8. It was so cool!!! Ash and profeser Oak boath get a uge electrice shoce, from picachu, well I gess it’s cheeper than having an X-ray. A bird pokemon also suffers this fate.
P.S. the web adress of all that guys videos is: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&channelid=186710313

i like that episode it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny when ash told pikachu to open hes mouth to ahhhhhhhhhhhh
brill episode
im 12 so I would of just been born when it came out but I became a fan the same age as vulpix kido[4] also you guys [well some of you] keep going on about how cute pikachu is but underneath all that is a ton of pikapower!
I still have that video!!!
im 15 years old
pikachu and ash are cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
try http://www.pokemonepisode.org all episode and updated when a new 1 comes out!!!
I’m 18 now and was 8 when the show came out in the UK. Missed this episode when it first aired on SMTV (anyone remember that show on Saturday mornings with Ant and Dec?) but my first episode was Pokemon Emergency, and i’ve been absolutely hooked on Pokemon since.
then this means ash and pikachu are 22 yrs old…
This episode was best! (Memories…)
Is the anime so old that people don’t know the first episode? Wow.
hey blazing charmander do you truly love pokemon? because i do and im 15 years old and i will always be a huge mega fan of it forever
im 14 and i love pokemon all the way! i will never forget the first episode of how ash and pikachu started their adventure!! ^_^
“Over 10 years ago…” I remember that episode when it first came out… I feel so old ;^;
…Oh well. XD
i remember that episode it was one of the best in my mind(and thats when he first saw ho-oh if no one ever knew that, very cool that nintendo was thinking of silver and gold when they were just putting pokemon on tv) excluding pika vs cubone and ash and pika vs brock and onix, and thanks pikachufan now i wont have to go to cartoonnetwork to watch pokemon
wow ive watched every single pokemon episode shown (well except the new ones that haven’t been shown the uk yet) i love every single one they are awesome
P.S. Ash Ketchum is so cute i love him

he he…. i thought of a new song just for ash ketchum
i love you ash
you are the greatest
you put up with misty
only because she is a gym leader
use pikachu in battles
and win the fight
you are the coolest
ash ketchum!
everyone knows what pokemon stands for it means pocket monsters this is so so weird but tododile was the first pokemon made
no it wasn’t everyone knows that the first pokemon in the pokedex is bulbasaur
well SS just to say bulbasaur is first in the pokedex however that doesnt mean he was the first pokemon made.Maybe totodile was a prototype pokemon and
they only came back to him recently also shaymin whoever says pokemon is “shudder” Gay
I will come after them with my rayquaza and metagross and get them to use hyper beam and then when they have to rest after it Ill get my lucario to use aura sphere over and over and then when their lying on the floor knocked out I’ll get my gallade (you woudnt think it but gallade is a top notch pokemon and hes even better if he knows false swipe) anyway Id get him to stuff them in a bag then get my wailord to
swallow them.
and sorry I dont own a copy of leaf-green so I wouldn’t know a good team to beat the e4 in that game,however a good well balanced list of types,moves and having your team at least 3,4 or 5 levels above their pokemon I think anyway is a good strategy in any of the games so sorry
but thats the best I can do.Hope it helps!
hi guys ill battle soon.persoaly(in my opinion)i think that rayquazer is better than arcues.and one time in school my best freind loved pokemon but hates it now because a new kid came and ruined it!also im on ask proof yew 4 if anyone whants to chat
its my cousin he keeps telling me different things
oh ash ketchum you are the cutest boy in the whole wide world your brave and kind and loyal and care for your pokemon that is why i love you!
