NOSTALGIA MARATHON #5 ♪ To be a master is my dream, all I've got to do is believe ♪ A step up from the last season, almost as good as the first season. I really like how this season is split up into several self-contained story arcs. This works much better than the mostly episodic approach of previous seasons. That’s not to say there aren’t any good stand-alone episodes—Episode 23, ‘Just Waiting On a Friend,’ is especially brilliant. I also really liked how Team Rocket gets a lot more time in the spotlight and isn’t just an obstacle for the protagonists to overcome. Also, Crystal was the first Pokémon game I played, and Soul Silver is by far my favorite, so it’s fun to see how they remix events from those games into a new, coherent story. 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟱 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀 1.
