I'm now a 35-year-old man. Ash earning Pikachu's respect was one of the most influential moments of my life. In all anime, and in general.

They didnt had to retire Ash.... There's so many mysteries about his life. As a 2000s kid, this made me tear up

Lets not forget that Ash strapped Pikachu to an electric generator in Pewter City and basically maxxed his EVs over night.

One of the greatest times to be alive was during the Pokemon era. Kids today will never experience it like we did. To be alive and to be a part of the original Pokemon

He gave Ash the best Pokémon to compensate clapping his mom fr

Dang. That explains why legendary Pokémon were more inclined to listen to Pikachu rather than fight him.

I use to come home running from school to watch Pokemon and I am proud to say that I was a first generation Pokemon.... I am 34 now....

Low key inspired me to watch pokemon again as a 25 year old man. Got me crying and shit too.

Oak was secretly the best Pokémon trainer in existence and changed his identity to find a worthy successor for his title
Edit: after a year, and finally remembering this comment, I wanted to write down that I read the manga a few months ago.
Professor Oak was the previous world champion, and he retired to become a professor and research Pokémon

Oak always knew that this Pikachu was Ash's... Because Oak time traveled and met Ash and Pikachu.

That thunder scene was definitely emotional, Ash saying goodbye to Charizard, and Ash taking mewtwo's hit saving Pikachu and turning himself into stone That hit me so hard and I was a kid I was devastated

that moment when pikachu kept shocking ash to bring him back to life still hurts

Makes perfect sense when you think about why Team Rocket was always so hung up on getting Ash’ Pikachu

only people in the 90s will truly understand how amazing that series was when it came out.
