21:39 The way he said "we" instead of "you" shows that he acknowledges that he made mistakes by not taking responsibility for what happened in the past and letting everything go too far, but switching to "you" also means that he wants Abomasnow to see that he is responsible also for following his Gods, similar to how Squirtle thought he had to follow whoever orders him around.

[@AZUREPHOENIX777]

Okay, prediction time: I genuinely don't think Charmander is permadead, he's been a main character since episode 1, and he still had character development left to go through. Plus there's the mess he made that Mewtwo is still trying to fix. To put it simply, Charmander has a lot of unfinished business. Given how Squirtle/Wartortle appears to be climbing Mt Coronet in this episode (Sinnoh Pokémon, really tall snowy mountain with Arceus supposedly at the top?), my guess is that Episode 11 is going to involve him confronting the gods and getting the chance to go back in time and change the past. After all, using time travel to change the past, including saving characters that were originally supposed to die, is absolutely a thing that can happen in the Pokémon world. I predict that Wartortle is going to be sent back to the past, save Charmander, and stop Caterpie's war before it starts.

a fun little Easter Egg: if you watch this with subtitles, whenever the Snovers talk about “Snow in the way” the S is capitalized, meaning that they were always talking about someone and not the snow itself. When Squirtle talks about snow, the S is lowercase. That was pretty clever.

[@Amadmaniac1]

So Charmander started off as selfish, he still was, but when Squirtle tried to teach him that force isn't what makes a leader, he tried to use empathy and redeem himself by trying to save Squirtle. Squirtle was always trying to follow the rules unless someone he viewed as an authority figure tried to make him break them, but by doing what he's told he loses the one guy who actually viewed him as an equal and gave up his free will to not feel guilty for what Caterpie made him do. Now that he looks back on his past and tries to hold himself accountable, he sort of embodied Charmanders initial desire to evolve and his belief that the rules Squirtle followed were not worth it when following them caused him suffering.

Also since Turtwig said Squirtle was level 98 and pokemon need to level up to evolve when he evolved into wartortle he leveled up to level 99 so Squirtle/Wartortle will most likely be a level 100 blastoise in one of the next episodes.

I like how this episode gives greater meaning to the personality quirks of Charmander and Squirtle throughout the series, Charmander represented choice and free will in the series and even states to Catterpie that trainers and pokemon should stand next to each other, whereas Squirtle has represented freedom of consequence such as wanting to follow some sort of code of battle because he feels like he just should even when his friends are being beaten up and proven even further here where we see his willingness to listen to Catterpie's messed up orders, him snapping at the end was him finally accepting the consequences of his actions, it's why he gets mad at Snow for trying to hoist Chimchar's death on the gods.

The worst part is that alot of stuff makes sense, like the change in tone. They were kids, they were naïve and didn't see some of the stuff that happened as a big deal. Squirtle is now either an adult or in his very late teens. He has the maturity to understand just how fucked up the stuff he went through as a kid was. While I don't think it was 100% intentional, it does make the series pretty realistic when it comes to childhood trauma (at least my experience with it) It also makes sense why he would take care of chimchar and turtwig. They are kids. Kids who remind him of his childhood friends. He wants to relive his childhood, but not just that, he wants to relive it as the role of a guardian. As a way to protect those two in ways he couldn't protect charmander and bulbassaur. He is someone desperate for closure and the chance to make up for everything he did and was unable to do for them

He’s squirtle no more… he is WARTORTLE

[@jackmisha2598]

It’s amazing how squirtle’s want to be on a team and take orders was shown as early as episodes 5 and 7, and these flashbacks show us the extreme of what that extreme loyalty he wanted got him: the dangers of following orders blindly.

[@kotahope3850]

It does make sense though, for Squirtle's character. He was the one who tried to see things logically and tried his best to show Charmander his perspective and common sense, fearing the concequence of breaking these rules. I think I know what Squirtle was afraid of now: losing any form of stability and peace he's known, watching as inoccents die and the strong live. Yet it does show Charmander was also right too, seeing how things turned out the way they did. It makes me wonder if the war and everything else would've happened if Charmander wasn't so hell bent on strength and evolution.

[@williamnguyen9057]

@Evelyn Choy I actually think charmander was never the protagonist. I think he was an anti hero after he separated squirtle from himself and bulbasaur because of his beliefs. Like any anti hero, charmander tried to change society, but squirtle didn’t. Charmander fell like an anti hero, and squirtle defeated him like the morpher. The person who was faking to be an ally, but was an enemy in the end. (An anti hero is the protagonist but one that lacks heroic features. In this case, most of episode 1-9 were centered around charmander and bulbasaur. But as we could tell, charmander wasn’t the most heroic. His ways of supporting freedom from trainers was to slaughter his kind for exp and free himself from human trainers.)

[@GurkenbauerTim]

@@williamnguyen9057 but not every protagonist must be heroic. Without charmander it would be different. They had their trainers, trained, evolved and it would be boring. Charmander thought otherwise.

This entire story legit FEELS like a story pokemon would make (if they were less of a kid friendly company)

[@AuraKumo104]

Actually they made a offical game where you can play as a Pokémon (any starter from generations 1-4 plus Pikachu) and explore a world covered in darkness with a grim future. You eventually time travel to a dark dystopian future where nobody is happy. You try to save the world but are hunted by some evil Pokémon that want to kill you. Let's just say the game doesn't avoid the subject of death at all. It is actually a major plot point. Like the end of this episode, you go to try and take on the Pokémon gods to save the world and everyone in it. The game is a spin off developed by a different company than gamefreak, Chunsoft, and it is a ds game called Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky. It is my favorite Pokémon game to this day because it isn't afraid to explore darker themes like the meaning of life and reality of death. It is still appropriate for kids I guess but the plot definitely is not targeted at kids at all. The gameplay is probably why is isn't as popular because it is a strategy, turn based Dungeon crawler but has a lot of elements from regular Pokémon battles like attacks, stats, abilities, hp, pp, levels, pokemon evolution, and even has some of the same items from the mainline games. I personally like the gameplay but some Pokémon fans don't like how different it is. I personally would recommend that anyone who likes Pokémon and more plot focused games, should try Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky.
