How Ash got Charmander.
I was thinking of adding trivia "This is the only episode where Ash steals a Pokémon", but I wanna discuss it on the talk page first. In my opinion he did steal it.
Yeah, of course the trainer is so damn selfish, but still. Even if the trainer didn't really care about the Charmander it still belonged to him. So technically Ash is stealing it since he got it without the trainer's permission.
But there could be objections to that trivia that Ash stole the Pokémon. So I wanna discuss this. TheBlazikenMaster 01:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- This was probably a later retcon, but Dawn couldn't capture Pikachu because it was already imprinted (or something) with Ash's Poké Ball. So I assume that Damien just released Charmander, told it that he'd come back, and walked off so he could have more space for Pokémon. That's why Charmander could go into Ash's Poké Ball.
