... but it gets destroyed by the mind-numbingly obnoxious narrating they always make the side characters do during every battle sequence. Any viewer, at any age, at this point in the show knows what's going on. But they insist on having to name what every move is, why they chose it, what type it is, which types will have what effect, and basically treating the viewer like they are blind and two years old. The first time I watched this episode I was a small child. At no point is there anything going on in the show that would confuse even the youngest of fans, and like all anime, even though it's a "kids cartoon", the creators know that there are fans of all ages that like Pokémon, play the games, and watch the show. It's just a huge insult on the intelligence of the viewer. It gets even more ridiculous with dialogue such as "ash has three Pokémon, and Brandon has two. That means he has one more than Brandon does!" It just makes you wonder what the target audience of this show really is.
