worst anime ever

Of course it's a bad show, that's why most of the people who post for this cartoon are Pokemon haters and bashers (just look at all the threads!).

To its credit, Pokemon was a fun show when it just started and when the whole Poke-fever began. But as time dragged on, as everyone knows, the show became repetative and boring. Kids tuned in every Saturday to find Ash and his annoying pals with two-dimentional personalities fight Team Rocket and try to be the "greatest trainer ever" again, just like last week.

From what I see, the only way to redeem the show now is either to add a MAJOR story element to the show, (ex: Team Rocket reverts to world terrorism and plundges Hoenn or where ever they are now into chaos; a fanatical Pokemon version of PETA starts attacking trainers and their gyms to "liberate" their Pokemon slaves; whatever) or just cancel the show entirely - Pokemon is taking air time away from Yu-gi-ho (just kidding!).

Either these or use other elements from other animes: add some existential teen angist, bible references, giant robots, some incest - I don't know, whatever. Those are just my thoughts.

T to the ROLL. Seriously EvaPerson, I don't like the anime either, though the games aren't bad and the series concept is pretty cool (good Fanfiction is RARE, but possible), but there's no need to senslessly bash the series like that.

Every episode was the same except a new Pokemon would be introduced.

In essence, when you break apart the things that earn the anime criticism, you realize that there are other anime that are worse in each situation.

The characters of Yu-Gi-Oh! have even less depth than the characters in Pokemon (even Yami, who is just a 5,000-year-old spirit who lives inside the Millenium Puzzle). Yugi or some other main character also relies on cheap plot devices even moreso than Ash or another main character in Pokemon.

Anime like InuYasha rely on cliches even moreso than Pokemon. The plot, the yelling/wanting for another character... it all gets old even quicker than Pokemon.

One more thing; something that goes for every board on this website, but opinions and assumptions =/= facts.

The content in the English dub is actually improved from the Japanese version in my opinion, so really, complaining about 4Kids doesn't seem as credible to me.

And ryankat25, this is for you: Grow up and stop being a troll and saying the exact same hate speech every time you post in a Pokemon topic. Your childhood does not concern us (and neither do your assumptions or your opinions), and do NOT judge an entire fanbase on your own personal experiences (if they have even happened).

That is all.

The main reason I watch this show is not necessarily out of love, but just to give credit. It's respectable, and while not everyone may like it, I don't think it's all that bad.

I've seen many people judge this show out of bias, and others actually have reasons that aren't implied. Some people hate it and haven't watched it recently, if at all.

As a person who has managed to keep up with it over the past few years, I've noticed that it's gradually getting better as it progresses.

Say what you will about the show and keep your opinion, but don't abuse your rights to express it, especially not on a website where people can report for trolling (you know how sensitive people can be in such cases).

screw you asswipe! this is one of the few good animes out there! most of them suck ass!
