	Ratings Explained
	The rare episode to get this rating is like Mary Poppins, "practically perfect in every way." If this episode were a song that came on shuffle, it would never be skipped. Truly a classic that deserves repeated watching.
	A solid all-around good episode. Any quick tour through its particular season would definitely trace a route through this episode. Good, but not great. Memorable, but not truly classic.
	Average through and through. This episode is neither very good, nor very bad. Safe to skip if you want to only watch the greatest hits of each season, yet still worth watching if you have the time.
	An episode that is just not that good. This episode is probably better skipped unless one is trying to be a completist about watching entire seasons.
	Awful. Don't watch this episode unless you are a masochist or unless you absolutely have to watch every episode of Pokemon for your website (the two basically go hand-in-hand).
