There have been so many moments across the anime - but which one punched you in the feelings the hardest? A goodbye, a win, a sacrifice?

    Has anybody seen Pokémon the Johto Journeys series where Ash releases his Butterfree? That hit me hard.

    Johto Journeys?

    I had a feeling that the mods' posts might be AI generated…

    yeah I kind of started thinking that too watched a video of how to differentiate ai from human writing and I’ve noticed that some of the things being said applied like how many m and n spacers they use (look at the the top of the thread at the mods post), them not having any bias from experience (though is this one even applicable here) , and listing things with words that don’t really add any thing to the context. (Goodbye win sacrifice) also a lack of knowledge on the subject (like bye bye butterfree happened in the original indigo league arc not Johto journeys)
