because it's the only season you can reliably find DVDs for and I like Tracey

but CHRIST the boy is DUMB AS A SACK OF ROCKS

he uses his Venonat's Sleep Powder to capture an injured Scyther in one episode so they don't have to battle with it

which, you know. THAT MIGHT HAVE COME IN VERY HANDY FOUR EPISODES AGO WHEN YOU ALL SPENT 15+ MINUTES TRYING TO PUT ASH'S GODDAMN SNORLAX TO SLEEP

THE PLOT OF THE ENTIRE EPISODE

AND YOU HAD A POKÉMON THAT KNEW SLEEP POWDER JUST IN YOUR PARTY
