That's not to say the show is perfect, or that you should glue yourself to the TV and watch it, but it is at least worth a glance if you still like the games.

I recall there was a third rap (for the 3rd generation/Hoenn) as well, though I don't think there's an official video for it.

Though, if there is a next season(Likely chance) then they should really timeskip it and pass the torch to a new main character.

Agreed! Ash/Satoshi has been ten-years-old for a LONG TIME!
But then again, so was Bart Simpson.

It was like how the Wii is now. I always used to watch the first season (even the reruns) and I was always dissapointed that Ash lost at the Pokemon League. The Orange Islands season was cool too.Then Johto Journeys came out and I quit watching. I was also more into Digimon around that time so that plays a part as well. Now I just like Pokemon for he games but I think I'm even slipping away from those. My brothers, however, love Pokemon. So much so that they play pretend Pokemon and often ask me the most obvious questions about it.
i.e. "Hey, Sam! Is Infernape a fire-type???"
*sigh* Change is so hard...

POKEMON IS NOT A GUILTY PLEASURE.
IT IS MERELY A PLEASURE :D
No, seriously, I prefer the games to the anime by far, and hundreds of eppies of the same plotline each time DOES get repetitive..but. But it's Pokemon. You have to love Pokemon :D
If only because James and Brock are the best things to ever grace a television screen <3333

I watched an episode of Diamond and Pearl today on Cartoon Network called, Mutiny in the Bounty. It was completly different than all the other episodes. Ash, Brock, and Dawn were headed for Floaroma city, and they met this Pokemon Hunter lady that was really good at stealing Pokemon. I haven't seen any Pokemon villains like her. She's very successful at stealing Pokemon, unlike Team Rocket. They called her, J, and I'm looking forward to more episodes with her in it. The preview for the next episode looks like it goes back to the regular types of stories though.

I really liked some of the Chronicles episodes that aired a while ago; the ones where Ash didn't actually make an appearance in any of the, but they focused on other people, like Brock back at Pewter Gym, Misty back in Cerulean, Team Rocket doing hilarious things, Ritchie doing stuff, Oak and Gary at the Lab... and a three-episode arc about a trainer with a Typhlosion who teams of with some other new trainers to save Raikou from some new TR members (one of which was changed to a girl in the English dub; this is actually mentioned in the ikkikon skit Asil mentioned). It was really good, actually.

I still think Pikachu is a girl just because "she's" voiced by a woman(Rachel Lillis and Ikue Ohtani)(two women).I have this Pikachu shirt and.....been having it since 4th grade and I can still fit in it. So cute! >.> My first Pokemon game was Pokemon Crystal(reason: female protagonist), collected Pokemon Trading Cards, collected toys(Pichu <3), and Pokemon guides(pokedex, game guides, chapter books).
I think Ash is, chronologically, is 14 now. When the first episode of Advanced Generation premiered, Ash said that he's been a Pokemon trainer for 3 years. After or somewhere in Hoenn, he turned 14. Either that or he drank the fountain of youth. >_>
I'm such a damn nerd >_>
Heh, Ashy boy.

What my friends have been saying about the series is turning out like Power Rangers. The good initial releases and went downhill from there.

Yeeeeeah, I got all the Chronicles on DVD. The best episode was clearly "Training Daze" about Team Rocket when before they got the job of Team Rocket. It always touches me that episode.
Oh and The Legend of Thunder with Jimmy (the Typhlosion trainer) is actually a movie. Without a mini-movie. It's really nice and considering Quilava is my favorite Pokemon I like Typho too.
I'm such a Poketard. Everyday I go on Bulbapedia (Pokemon Wikipedia site)
And I still have two binders of cards! I've got a shiny called "Shining Gyarados" (the red one) and I heard that it sells for over $150!

: You should bring her in a checkup sometime...Yes..*drools*I recently downloaded a bunch of Indigo eps. from Youtube and it's great to see them again. I even got two of my favorites, The Song of JigglyPuff and Clefairy Tales. I just wish I could download some of the others that I liked espically the Team Rocket based ones since Jesse and James are my favorite characters.

I used to be a fan of the show way before the thing came to Finland, thanks to German TV. Pokemon is what introduced to Anime and taught a lot of German to me, two things I consider important in my life. I quit watching the show around Johto league because I lost the German channel I used to watch it on (You won't see me watch the Finnish dub, never. Okay sometimes >____>) and after that I grew tired of it. Later I got the channel back and used to watch some episodes when I was bored (Some episodes where May and Max appeared in). Now I don't have the German channel anymore so I can't watch the wonderful German dub.
Bulbasaur has always been my favorite Pokemon and will always be. I just want to squeeze that thing <3333
Also, Monster Rancher <3

And why should you watch the show again?
Spoiler: THIS

THIS IS THE REASON YOU SHOULD WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN
That and the overall improvement of the show such as implementing many of the video game mechanics and better Pokemon personalities. And we finally have an physically abusive trainer character...lovely. (Johto was an epic fail season; amirite?!)

Also, the D/P show actually gave a NEW cookie cutter experience... from what I've heard (and seen, for the first two gyms), Ash LOSES the first time at the gyms, and THEN wins the second time.
So the League wasn't enough? -.-
I miss the old Pokemon. That is all. (Hell, I still play Red and Gold, both carts I still own... too bad my Silver went missing YEARS ago. And I know exactly what happened to it.)

And what's great in this season that at least things come off as realistic. Dawn only one a single contest. A SINGLE ONE. And we are already on around the 50th episode. She lost every single contest and so far there was an episode in which she had a breakdown and started gyms for a while.
Brock actually had some character development with an egg Pokemon that was surprisingly not useless like Togepi.
And Paul? My god best character ever after Harley. Bastard-jackass-jerk ftw?!

...that's because until the second half of Battle Frontier, Pokemon was done by 4kids. nintendo finally said "Damn it, enough is enough! If you suck so bad, we'll just have to do it ourselves! And that's just what they did.

I do feel though, that since the Johto adventures ended, that the series has gone dramatically downhill.
I still play the games though (up to Sapphire/LeafGreen gen).

Anyway, the new (I shouldn't even say new anymore since it's past the first season of D&P) VA of Ash greatly improved in the Darkrai movie. I even thought she was Veronica Taylor for a while. >:

I really preferred the "Pokemon Adventures" comic. It (consistently) had better characters, better plots, and better character development than the anime. But Viz quit translating it after volume 7, and if I want English translations I gotta order them all the way from Singapore (and they're of somewhat lower quality).

I can't hate pokemon. 'Twas my first game.
First season was epic. My parents loved it because it had me drawing and imagining. And it kept me quiet for a half hour. But when Misty left.
UNGRACEFUL DOWNHILL TUMBLE.
Fuckin' hate May. "LULZ I HATE POKEMON, BUT I GOTS ONE NOW SO I LIKE 'EM. I WANNA ENTER CONTESTS WHEEE I WIN. OH NO RIVAL/LOVE INTEREST. WHEE I GET SUPER EEVEE/BLAZIKEN/BULBASAUR WITH SPECIAL MARKING. OH I DIDN'T WIN SUPER CONTEST OH WELL I STILL HAVE MY SPIRIT AND MY SHORT SKIRT HURHURHUR." That's why Harley was possibly the only post-Johto character I liked.
Misty was freaking awesome. I miss her. She sent me the message that "Hey, girls can like this stuff, too!" But now I just watch the old episodes on Boomerang. And some tapes I have.
And, hey, just a tidbit..I recall that photographer kid being named Snap (trust me, I had the tape and watched it ALL the time). But in the recap, it was edited to Todd, and he currently goes by that. Anyone else notice?

Well you see... 4Kids seemed to operate in the reverse of most dubbing companies. They start out awesome enough and slowly starts to decline in quality and popularrity due to the possibility of getting a shiny new pair of scissors from the FCC for such good work, which then becomes their downfall as they use those scissors to cut through any and all scenes that are important to the plot.

Normal episode:
Meet a character (usually female, for some reason), who does stuff with a new Pokémon Ash & Co. haven't seen yet. This is the only new Pokémon you'll see this episode.
Team Rocket sees Pikachu/New Pokémon, devise a sucky plan and get blasted of again.
Happy ending.
Of course, there are a lot of exceptions to this, but even those have a pattern (especially the gym leader things). I don't know about the newer series though, they might be better. Or something.
