Warning! As per policy, all spoilers are unmarked.
- In the very first episode alone, we reconnect with Red and see how badly being the Champion has affected his life. No free time, no privacy with his loved ones, and having a flanderization in the public eye that he is unbeatable. Eventually, it gets to the point where he exiles himself to Mt. Silver, leaving everyone he knew and loved behind. We also see his mother's reaction eight years since his disappearance, heartbroken that Lance has not yet found Red.
- In Episode 16, Kris' Slowpoke has a complete breakdown after getting mocked by Eusine for having no tail, making it believe that there is no chance it will evolve into a Slowbro. Everyone in the room, Gold and Kris, their Pokémon, and other Trainers, feel bad for Slowpoke as Team Rocket ruined its life for a sick profit.
- But speaking of Team Rocket, Proton was in the Pokémon Center at the time this took place, and this makes him wonder if going back to Team Rocket was the best choice for him.
- Episode 19 for both Silver and his mom Arianna. For Silver, he is forced to relive the moments from Pokemon Red that scarred him as a kid (such as a Team Rocket Grunt getting eaten by Arbok and forced to see Red and Blue get beat up by his father) and angrily tell a police officer he is not part of Team Rocket. For Arianna, she is forced to see her son basically disown her and Giovanni, and fails to understand why Silver is doing this.
- Episode 24: Just when you thought Silver would start loosening up and become kinder, he does a tragic 180 by stealing a Sneasel and running away, only for Chuck to stop him. It's there that Silver realizes that no matter what, he's a wanted criminal for stealing Pokémon and he has no one for support (Gold hates him, and any feelings he has for Kris is pushed aside for wrongfully believing she likes Falkner more). And with that, Silver goes back to Team Rocket, returning his Pokédex as he does not feel worthy of keeping it.
- Episode 27: Gold seeing Silver's Feraligatr maul his Quagsire and rip off its arms. All the poor boy can do is stare in shock and collapse to his knees.
- Episode 28: We see that Gold has tried different potions in an attempt to regrow Quagsire's arms, but nothing has worked. Not only does he shut himself off from his mom and Kris, but he beats himself up for not stopping Silver or using any of his other Pokémon to defeat Feraligatr. Worse, the guilt of letting his Pokémon get maimed causes his golden heart to dull out. Thankfully, Quagsire reuses his ability to grow arms using Ice Punch to cheer his trainer up and then all the other members of Gold's team emerging from their Poké Balls for a Group Hug.
- Episode 29: Although it's great to see Silver and his Feraligatr finally join Gold and Kris in the fight against Team Rocket, you can see some guilt on their faces of what they did as members of Team Rocket and before then. Hell, Feraligatr takes one look at his Johto Starter members, and looks ashamed of the kind of immoral actions he committed.
- Episode 30: The battle between our heroes and Team Rocket is over, Johto is saved, and everyone is relieved to see it all end. However, Silver is not happy at all, as he completely wrecked with guilt over his actions working for Team Rocket and having Feraligatr kill innocent Pokémon. Silver goes as far to tearfully beg Ho-oh and Lugia to kill him and resurrect the Pokémon he killed. Poor guy really needs a hug.
- Episode 31: That the scene is expanded upon and shows that Lugia and Ho-oh show mercy on him and leave him be while accepting his request. Accompanied by a remix of Blessid Union of Souls' "Brother, my Brother" makes it hit that much harder.
