Kira€€€ that's a heartwarming episode but not sad at all.

[@royal-tea3063]

Kira€€€ that one is more heart-WARMing

[@CanadaDragon1]

The episode "Snow Way Out". Near the end of the episode, Ash sits in front of a hole in an icy cave, and tells Pikachu to get inside the pokeball. Pikachu refuses, and the rest of Ash's pokemon huddles around him. Ash then says "We'll be cold together", as a tear runs down his face. In fact, this scene was such a heart warming tear jerker, it was also used in the Pikachu's Jukebox music video of "You Will Always Be My Best Friends". :')

[@KDS0824]

[@furonbrainiac6634]

For me the two saddest moments in Pokemon was when Jessy, James and Meowth attacked and used their bodies against the poachers and his tyranitar to protect Arbock and Weezing so they could flee with their new family, seeing how much emotional and physical pain the were willing to endure to protect them really showed their true self, their true hearths and how much they loved their pokemon. I wonder when will they realize they make better heroes then villains. The second moment was when Latios sacrificed himself for his sister Latias, his friends and an entire city and his spirit appeared before Latias to say goodbye to his sister. I think it was the first time we saw when of the heroes die in Pokemon, really brought me tears.

That’s kind of the point. There’s nothing contradictory about those two comments. Children’s shows often include life lessons and dealing with death is one of them.

[@raymondgerlach3148]

Yes. Even Sesame Street delt with this when of the actors died so they had his character die as well. The hardest part was explaining it to Big Bird.

[@denickart]

Literally every Disney movie has at least one death scene

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

“Memories In the Mist”. That’s my favorite episode of Sun & Moon, but god damn it, I cry every single time. That episode is really bittersweet. Thankfully Mallow does reconcile with her mom’s spirit, but the last words Mallow ever said to her mom being “I hate you” is just absolutely gut wrenching. Also seeing Stoutland again was bittersweet because that just proves that, yes, even though it was never actually stated, Stoutland did die.
