I don't like how they included mega Charizard at the end :|
I did like how Mewtwo was super powerful though. In the games I always thought it was silly how you could just catch/faint it.
Although it made me wonder again why Mewtwo went to Cerulean Cave in the first place. Was it to hide? Train itself?
Also also at the end when Mr Fuji is being told that Red is going after Mewtwo there's a brief shot of the Pokémon in his house and the
Growlithe there is so cute playing with a cuddly toy that looks like a substitute. It's just there gnawing on it like a proper dog. So cute!
The reason I didn't like it as much as I thought I would was because I just didn't feel too involved. The only battle Red lost at all throughout the entire thing was the first one with Green. There wasn't really any tension I guess. I know it's hard to do that when you're basing it off of a game and people who play the game know what's going to happen. But hey, the proper anime does it. I may not watch it much any more but at least when I do I feel somewhat invested in what Ash is doing. Maybe it's also because it was so short that they had to montage him catching a bunch of Pokémon and beating most of the gym leaders and the Elite Four, so it was already established that he was really good at everything, so there wasn't much doubt that he could beat Giovanni and Green.
Eh, I don't think I'm explaining myself very well here.
Also from watching it I found out that Jolteon's Japanese name is Thunders and Zapdos is Thunder? Doesn't that get confusing? D:
