There's always something so fascinating when a "Pokémon" Trainer gives advice, however it doesn't always go smoothly.

It is hard not to laugh! If you look at Brock's performance in this Anime, as well as his relationship with other females! You may think he was trying to find true love but those around him had a bit of a different perspective.

  • he went too far on occasion

It's very apparent how strongly he felt. What's even more amazing is how his relationship with women was truly one of the funnier aspects of "Pokémon!" While Brock got better with his interpersonal skills throughout the entire series, you still could see the signs!

His relationships are some of the most memorable! While you could watch this show and be inspired by this amazing advice to pursue what you're passionate about. It is best to remember what was going on. Brock never truly made those emotional leaps, so perhaps he's best to admire as a friend.
