Pokemon (anime) ******** sucks, the whole anime is retarded and pointless compared to the manga. Ash made no progress whatsoever. He loses every Pokemon League and never wins it (wtf is that s**t?), but somehow he manages to win little side competitions that he just so happens to find a long the way :/ Not only that, but EVERYONE AROUND HIM IS MUCH BETTER THAN HE IS. Example, Misty is a ******** Gym Leader, that's miles above what Ash is (A sorry a** freeloading trainer :/), Brock is basically the mother of the group and feeds everyone, and at least Dawn and May were enthusiastic about their Coordinator stuff. Ash's mindset is (I'm going to just travel, catch one or two pokemon every time I got to a new country, lose my whole purpose for even going to the country, lose the competition i've been training for and beating gym leaders for, go back to where I started (Pallet Town) then repeat.
^Phew long rant was long in short Pokemon (anime) sucks a**, The Manga is much better, Pokemon get killed and don't come back, none of this "fainting" faggotry, and "gasp" the main character actually beat the Pokemon League AND captured Mewtwo. Plus, another main character actually finished the Pokedex. As for the videogames, they starting to suck a** too. It's all a repeat with no ******** progress. New little gimmicks don't save the series at all. Plus, Pokemon Battle Revolution sucked complete a** and had no progress whatsoever.
