Daddy Daughter Days: A Father Daughter Investigation III

Managed to sit through the rest of that Oprah episode. After that, there were a few news reports about some shootings and robberies that took place Valentine's Day 2002. Jus then, the screen went blue for a few seconds. At first I thought it was the end of the tape, but it would be too soon. Luckily, this shows up seconds later. 

Knowing that this was a cartoon that us father daughter detectives were familiar with, unlike Rocket Power. I saved it for when dad got home from work that evening so we could watch it after supper. 

Later that night, we let the festivities begin.

First we were treated to "The Animaniacs Suite" which was just a collage of clips from previous Animaniacs episodes. I personally have a fairly small frame of reference with the show since one of the songs became a meme for a short lived time back in 2018 (you know the one). 

After that, we sat through a few commercials as well as a Pokemon sweepstakes where you could get a chance to win all the cards that were released (at the time). After that, we finally got to our feature presentation. 

The episode in question is "Electric Shock Showdown" where Ash and his friends have to battle against a very powerful Pokemaster who has a knack for electric type Pokemon. This man was so destined to win that as soon as he got a Pikachu, he used a thunderstone to evolve it to a Richu right away! 

Team Rocket get into some funny antics so far such as trying to disguise themselves as a cheerleading squad for Ash's pikachu. We'll be diving deeper into this Pokemystery tonight! 

Care to throw in your two cents so far, dad? 

First off, not-a-fan of The Animaniacs. It's a smug cartoon series that thinks it's oh-so-funny. 

Pokémon is a law unto itself. I felt good about knowing that a Richu is the "evolved" version of a pikachu!  We'll have to see the second half to find out how our scrappy little hero triumphs over his mismatched battle competitor.

I liked the fact that Team Rocket apparently just stalks these guys and peeps at them through windows.

Let's take those photos of the kitchen set, while it's still light out, before we settle in for more Gotta-Catch-Them-All action.

PS: I'll be catching some more Pokemon from the convention tomorrow. Hope to find some REALLY good ones lol.
