The Pokemon TV Youtube channel continues releasing more and more episodes. They're well on their way into the Johto region, so it's about time I finish off my list for the original series. As of the end of my last Pokémon Binge List, here's where Ash's badge count and our main characters' team rosters stood:
Ash’s Badge Count: 6
Ash’s Team: Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Bulbasaur, Charizard, Squirtle
Misty’s Team: Staryu, Starmie, Goldeen, Horsea, Psyduck
Brock’s Team: Onix, Geodude, Zubat, Vulpix
Jessie’s Team: Arbok
James’s Team: Weezing
Season 2, Episode 1: "Princess vs. Princess"

Who doesn't love to fulfill a childhood dream? And naturally Jessie is a big kid in this episode. Plus she finally gets a second Pokemon!
Season 1, Episode 50: “Who Gets To Keep Togepi?”Jessie's Team: Arbok, Lickitung

The gang's Pokemon egg finally hatches and four of them lay claim to the new little Togepi (the first Johto Pokemon our team). Despite Ash winning, the little one already imprinted on Misty.
NOTE: This episode has to take place after episode "Princess vs. Princess", since Jessie has her Lickitung. Why it was released this way? Who's to say?
Misty’s Team: Staryu, Starmie, Goldeen, Horsea, Psyduck, Togepi
Season 1, Episode 52: “The Breeding Center Secret”
Click here to watch
Our very own Pokemon Snap Todd joined the gang in "Pokemon Paparazzi" and helped them uncover a Team Rocket plot. But not our typical Team Rocket trio. And suddenly we learn James apparently got a Weepinbell and it's evolved to Victreebel
James’s Team: Weezing, Victreebel
Season 2, Episode 4: “Volcanic Panic”

At the end of this two-part story, Ash finally wins his seventh badge! And Charizard still won't obey him. Shocker.
Ash’s Badge Count: 7
Season 2, Episode 6: “The Misty Mermaid”
Click here to watch
Based on the Kanto map in Red/Blue, there's no reason the gang should have passed through Cerulean City on their way to Viridian City. But they had to make a pit stop to visit Misty's sisters... and they had to get roped into some Cerulean Gym antics, courtesy of Team Rocket. And as the gang left, Misty left Starmie and Horsea behind with her sisters.
Misty’s Team: Staryu, Goldeen, Psyduck, Togepi
Season 2, Episode 8: “The Battle of the Badge”
Click here to watch
After our first glimpse of Mewtwo (as he beat Gary to a pulp), Giovanni had that mess to deal with. Meanwhile, our Team Rocket trio took charge of the Viridian Gym and Ash won his final Indigo League badge--He'd never have beaten Giovanni.
Ash’s Badge Count: 8
Pokémon The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back
This epic cinematic piece. The gang encounters the Mewtwo briefly seen at the Viridian City Gym. However, after meeting Mew and softening the hearts of the legendary Mewtwo... everyone forgets that the adventure happened. Now if only it were available on "Pokemon TV".
Season 2, Episode 20: “All Fired Up!”
Click here to watch
After all this time, Ash Ketchum finally enters the Pokemon League! And naturally Team Rocket tries to get in the middle of it. But then Moltres shows up!
Season 2, Episode 21: “Round One - Begin!”Click here to watch
And the festivities are off to a good start. Naturally Ash decided to throw his Krabby in a random battle with zero experience. But the move works and Krabby evolves into Kingler. On to the next round!
Season 2, Episode 22: “Fire and Ice”
Battles continue through the Pokemon League, with Ash and Gary progressing through the ranks from one round to the next. Allons-y!
Season 2, Episode 23: “The Fourth Round Rumble”
Click here to watch
Poor Gary, getting knocked out in this round. To add insult to injury, Ash won by utilizing another Pokemon who's never battled: Muk. The crazy affectionate sludge!
Season 2, Episode 24: “A Friend in Deed”Click here to watch
The first of a three-part series, finishing out the Pokemon League. Meet Ritchie, a new friend and a new rival. And meet another ridiculous Team Rocket plot. Naturally Ash's next battle is against Ritchie.
Season 2, Episode 25: “Friend and Foe Alike”
Click here to watch
As Ash gets caught up in yet another ridiculous Team Rocket plot, he nearly missed his match against Ritchie. He lost anyway, but the outcome could have been very different if Charizard had been kept in his Pokeball.
Season 2, Episode 26: “Friends to the End”
Click here to watch
Any ten year old would be devastated to lose such a massive competition. So while we talk about Ash being immature plenty of times, he was pretty mature to put aside his hurt and comfort Ritchie when he lost. And so we move on to the next stage of Ash's adventures.
Next up is the Orange Islands! All those episodes and a chunk of Johto already available on the Pokemon TV YouTube channel. Gotta watch ‘em all!
