YMMV / Here Comes the Squirtle Squad

• Memetic Mutation: The store employees pointing their guns at Ash gets used on the Internet representing someone expressing an unpopular opinion.
• Shocking Moments: Ash getting guns pointed at him by store employees, especially in the 4kids-localized version where one would expect the guns to be censored and changed to far less life-threatening weapons or explained as toy guns. Especially since the Dratini episode got banned due for the exact same reason. Though, in that case, the gun was seen throughout the episode and not briefly like in this one.
• Woolseyism: Meowth and Squirtle threatening to dye Misty's hair purple in lieu of threatening to kill her fits somewhat better with the tone of the episode, not to mention being funny.
