Although it isn’t hard to see the alternate reality where Gary oversleeps and Ash teases him in a similar way. I’m not sure what’s worse about him: his stupid face, his cocky attitude, or the fact that he rides in the back of a car like he’s a model in a parade. Gary is, to put it bluntly, a little shit. The first episode also introduces series tool Gary Oak - Ash’s self-proclaimed rival. Pikachu’s eccentric giggling as Ash woefully tries to catch a Pokémon is weirdly endearing. The electric mouse’s mannerisms are straight-up adorable, especially as he continually mocks Ash. Despite his loser status, Pikachu is the straw that stirs the drink for the show. Why Oak has this Pikachu hidden in a secret compartment we may never know. Seriously, man, how many years were you waiting to tell some poor kid “The early bird gets the worm - or in this case, the Pokémon.”Īs everyone on the planet knows, Ash winds up with Pikachu, who is seemingly presented as some sort of remedial Pokémon that generally sucks. Little does he know that free will is a lie and he will get none of those options, a fact that the trolling Professor Oak likely already knew before he let the young kid grab three empty Pokéballs. He tosses and turns the whole night, wrestling with the decision of Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur. The divergent point that sets up Ash on his path to anime glory is oversleeping, which we can only assume is because he rocked his secret Poliwag bong too hard the night before (his excuse to Professor Oak for being late is “I got messed up this morning” so we can only assume that Ash wakes and bakes).
