EP025: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} shows off his four [[Badge]]s to {{an|Professor Oak}}, but Oak mentions that {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] all have five Badges and have already passed through [[Celadon City]]. When Ash is infuriated, Oak advises that he should {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} more Pokémon in order to become a better Trainer. He ends the call, leaving Ash upset.

{{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are eating [[rice ball]]s as Misty notices Ash's mood. Ash mentions how far behind he is as {{an|Brock}} points down the path to Celadon City. Misty mentions that Ash needs to get there his own way as Brock mentions quality over quantity. At that moment, Pikachu notices a {{p|Mankey}} peeking from behind a rock nearby as Ash checks his [[Pokédex]]. Mankey hops over Brock, wanting the rice ball. It takes it and climbs atop a rock, eating it. Ash decides to catch it by merely throwing a {{i|Poké Ball}} at it. Mankey throws the rice ball which the Poké Ball catches, and it then hops off, clearly angry. The Pokédex mentions that once it goes into {{m|Thrash}}, it is hard to stop. Mankey charges and everyone runs away. Brock tries to stop it by throwing it a rice ball, but it destroys it with its fist. Misty trips and it appears Mankey will attack her, but it jumps off her head to lands on Ash's face, pounding him. Mankey leaves Ash beaten and without his {{AP|hat}} as it climbs atop a tree and wears the hat. Nearby, {{TRT}} watches, wanting to catch Pikachu and get a promotion. {{MTR}} makes a smart remark as [[Jessie]] rolls a yarn ball at Meowth, pacifying the Pokémon.

* {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|senryū]]:

* This episode's dub title is a reference to the 1980 comedy adventure film ''{{wp|Herbie Goes Bananas}}''.

* This episode is the first in the {{pkmn|anime}} where {{TRT}} refers to {{Ash}} as the "[[twerp]]" in the English dub.

* This episode reveals how Ash obtained [[Ash's hat|his hat]], and also that {{an|Misty}} entered the very same contest.

* Despite {{AP|Charmander}} learning {{m|Rage}} in this episode, it never used the move again.

* Both {{p|Mankey}} and [[James's Magikarp]] in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'' evolved after [[James]] kicked them, causing them to become angry.

* In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak tells Ash that {{Gary}} {{pkmn2|caught}} 45 Pokémon. However, in this episode, Oak tells Ash that Gary caught 30 Pokémon. It should be noted that this was also present in the Japanese version.

* The writing on the {{i|Poké Ball}} in the advertisement is spelled "POCKEMON LEAG". This was not corrected in the dub, possibly as it is hard to read anyway. This misspelling of "Pokémon" as "Pockemon" is likely due to the fact that at the time of this episode's production (1997) there were no concrete plans for Pokémon's appearance to be international, and thus no standard romanization. Compare: '''ポケモン'''/'''ポケ'''ット'''モン'''スター ('''Pokémon'''/'''Pocke'''tto '''Mon'''sutā).

* When Ash reaches for his hat after climbing the tree, the hat is facing backward on Mankey's head. However, in the next shot where Ash is knocked to the ground, the hat is facing forward.

** In the same shot, Ash's shoes are completely black.

* The Primeape shown during the [[Who's That Pokémon]] segment is missing its nostrils.

* When Ash throws his Poké Ball to catch Primeape, it lands and wobbles upside down. The next shot after that, it is right side up. Ash's Poké Ball continues to wobble in this position until Primeape is caught.

* When Ash gets beat up by Primeape after catching it, he commands Charmander and Primeape to return to their respective Poké Balls. At that moment, {{AP|Pikachu}} disappears as well, but reappears just a few seconds later in the next scene overlooking [[Celadon City]].

* {{an|Brock}}'s [[rice ball]]s are referred to as jelly doughnuts.

* While Mankey is beating up Ash, in the dub, he says he is not okay, while in the original version, he orders Pikachu to help him, which explains why Pikachu is hesitant to interfere.
