Can't wait for Go to catch Zapdos tomorrow . His first legendary
Loved Raboot learning Blaze Kick
Because Zapdos moved to the Power Plant.Somebody please tell me this didn’t actually take place in Vermillion city like it appeared to?
Getting inside the Poké Ball is one thing. Actually getting to keep it in there is a whole other story.He still managed to get a legendary in a ball .
No one have done that that early in the series.
He is OP and he does not train his Pokémon.
Sorry but I don't get it.

I would have laughed so hard if Gou had managed to get a Thunder with a regular, 100 yen Monster Ball
This episode also proves that legendaries are vital and need to be free, even if their impact is quite minor or local to some ecosystem exclusively, that they should not be caught by anyone especially if there's nothing they'll be doing for the rest of their lives.
Given that this is taking place in Vermillion City, did they at least give an explanation as to why the GYM LEADER/SUBSTITUTE GYM LEADER of the freaking city did not help with the problem? What reason is there to move the power plant to Vermillion City then?!
UxieLover1994 said:The writers changed their mind again? So, does that mean (several portions of) Sinnoh will suffer from some climate change because Tobias has a Latios, and another trainer has a Heatran? And then there's the Nurse Joy with the Latias. Bad writing and obvious ignorance of past episodes.
It's kinda hard to tell if today's "don't ever catch Legendary Pokémon" applies to this particular Zapdos, or to all Legendary Pokémon. If the latter, it outright contradicts Brandon and the Sinnoh League, hence my "bad writing" comment.Well no, it just "proves" that this one particular legendary is (arguably) vital to its local environment. It's not "bad writing" at all.
When I meant to imply "bad writing", it is applied to how the writers showed several characters (even if all are minor) owning Legendary Pokémon, then stating that it's taboo to catch them. They could get away with it today because it's been a decade since the Sinnoh League, but people remember things. I apologize if I caused any offense.I never denied that those were terrible writing scenarios, but comparing plot device of characters (Tobias being one of the worst cases that might as well be universally panned and memed) or one time CotDs (Nurse Joy being a special episode character at that) to main protagonists or cast members is a whole different ball games.
Lets party everybody. Let those bodies rock the floor.
