ALSO GOSH THE SPEECH YES SATOSHI YOU WILL GET THAT SOMETHING HERE THAT WILL HELP YOU REACH THE DREAM OF POKEMON MASTER YES!!!

Ash Ketchum blushing, what is this madness?

I really feel the need to talk for a bit, because I’ve just been sitting here for the last few minutes, thinking about the fact that I am tearing up at this scene. This scene that we have seen countless, hundreds of variations of during the past 20 years. The combination of that illegally cute shot of Satoshi holding the little Wimpod’s tiny ”arms” as it’s thanking him before leaving, and the expression he has while doing so just moved me so much. And the fact that he simply nodded, he didn’t even say anything after it had left, I felt a genuine depth to his emotion.

I just noticed something after re-watching episode SM020, the Pokemon images on the souvenirs have the Pokemon GO artworks used in. That also includes a Porygon here, the banned Pokemon from the original series episode. What a surprise seeing it as a souvenir image, isn’t it?

Best romance scene I saw this year. Now I think I’m in love. Why bug Pokemon are so deadly cute.
