Is it just me or does the animie suck a little?

[Gravy]

Max - His voice is annoying.

Most of the voices on the show are.
USOHA! USOHA! USOHA! USOHA!

He thinks he's a know-it-all just because he reads a lot of books. Kid, let me tell you something. LIFE ISN'T JUST ABOUT BEING A NERD.

Oh lookie, the argument I love MOST!
Here's my answer to that~

You have to experience and go through the harshness of training.

Which is why he's travelling with Ash in the first place. To get an insight into how pokémon are trained, and get a general idea of how to treat the creatures and use them effectively in battle. He's getting an early start to put himself ahead of the game.

Your battle with the Poliwag was stupid. ..etc.

That was his first freaking pokémon battle. Which was just over three years ago. Give him a break.

Ash - Okay, he's stubborn, stupid, and is not strategic in battle.

Thats bull, right off the bat :/ ...apart from the stubborn part of course. But thats more of a plus, if anything.

Ash, learn to use the Competitve Movesets Guide, why don't you? Learn how to battle properly and use defensive moves with a bit of offense. Use Swellow's Double Team and then make all of them use Aerial Ace to confuse the opponent, leading to serious damage.

He's already used that strategy in the show. See the league battle against Kaede, part 2. Research would've helped a little.

LEARN TO BATTLE AND STOP BEING A MORON. You're fifteen in the Japanese version, so act like a mature young MAN, and not some stupid KIDDY BRAT.

He isn't 15 in the japanese version. And he CAN battle. He CAN use strategy, and has done so for a good majority of his post-Kanto matches.
But judging from the way you've talked, I'm having doubts that you've actually seen any of his battles post-Kanto, have you?

Is it really THAT difficult to deviate from 'He's a know-it-all' and 'He can't battle to save his life' around here or something?

Max - His voice is annoying. He thinks he's a know-it-all just because he reads a lot of books. Kid, let me tell you something. LIFE ISN'T JUST ABOUT BEING A NERD. You have to experience and go through the harshness of training. Your battle with the Poliwag was stupid. All you used was Defense Curl. Make an effort and use Water Gun to attack the Magby, but no, all you cared was your "Defensive Strategies Against Fire-types" book you have installed in the PokeNav. Get a life.

....And travelling with his sister and his friends taught him just that. That reading books and knowing Pokémons' names and their move sets by heart does not make you incredibly experienced at actual battling.

Ash - Okay, he's stubborn, stupid, and is not strategic in battle.

You must've stopped watching the show after OI.

He cares about one thing - Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu. Pikachu battles every time.

Against Team Rocket, yes. But why not? It's the only Pokémon that is out of its Pokéball all the time. Why wasting your time calling a Pokémon out when there is one right in front of you? It's not that he has to use strategy or consider type (dis)advantages, because he can win against TR with every Pokémon he has. In Gym Battles, however, he does use other Pokémon. I suggest you to pay attention next time.

You're fifteen in the Japanese version

Cool! =D That was confirmed....when?

Learn how to battle properly and use defensive moves with a bit of offense. Use Swellow's Double Team and then make all of them use Aerial Ace to confuse the opponent, leading to serious damage.

Yep, do that in every single battle and bore the viewers with repetitive strategies. Ash's battles are exciting because his strategies are bizarre.

I can understand that people are getting bored with the show, because I see their point when they say the plots are getting boring and repetitive. What I don't understand, however, is why they're still watching it if they think so. Even I don't have that much time on my hands to bother watching a show that bores me.

Edit: Beaten to it ;D

Get rid of all of the characters and start anew. Let the older fans [13 - 15], not the kids decide the plot. If I were much older, I'd go and learn Japanese to talk to them. It's important that they change this, or 4Kids makes it more 4Everyone

They wouldn't cater to the older fans. The main viewers are little kids; most kids our age have given up on the anime. If they listened to the older fans it would be ratings suicide, at least in places like the States, Britain, and Australia. As much as they mainly concern themselves with the Jap version if they lose their viewers in the West they lose a great deal of the franchise

And a lot of the older fans don't want them to get rid of the main cast. Many people have said that if they do that they'll stop watching the show (including me) which would also be ratings suicide.

 

[ToonKid]

i guess the animé does suck a little, but i still kinda enjoy it.

 

[Andromache]

I'd quit watching if they changed the cast. It just wouldn't feel the same anymore. While it was jarring at first to see May and Max, I've gotten used to them because Ash and Brock were still there. Many of the eps from this series have been good and fun. Sure, you can't win 'em all, but at least in this series, the Pokemon have distinct personalities and it's cool to see that they interact much more with each other than they did in Kanto. The fact I like May better than Misty helps, too. I think Kanto will always have a special place in my heart but AG has definitely been worth my while to come back to the show.

I need to remember to report when this show jumped the shark @ http://www.jumptheshark.com

I believe he means that with every new region/competition Satoshi gets a year older? =/ I always thought he was 14-15 also.

 

[The Power of Pika]

Well if the cast was gotten rid of then things would take a while to adjust to. You can get away with Ash. What I mean is make his voice an adult voice and say his voice matured. The rest I don't know what they'll do if it is recasted. Though they might be able to get new voice actors that can immitate the old ones. It's happened before with cartoons. A try out where they have people come and they see who can get close to the characters voice. It won't be exaclty the same but it will be close enough.

I still like the series though Team Rocket have been a bit weird. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who thinks this but I think the show would improve if Team Rocket were given a rest for a while. They should also start getting a bit more depth into the characters like History and so forth especially the stars like Ash.

 

[RED1992]

here's what they should do: mew2 shows up, says he's getting tired of all these pointless gayass fillers, so he lifts them(them being all the filler characters) up with his phychic power, and teleports them all the way 2 the sun, where they get burned to a crisp. next, he wipes everyone's memories of these dull sh*ts, and kills ash&co.

 

[The Battousai]

And he CAN'T battle. He CAN'T use strategy

fix'd

Anyway anyone who uses a pikachu competitively and hopes to suceed in battle is an idiot. As for the anime, yeah it's crap but it could've been alot better if the main character wasn't a dumbass and team rocket didn't appear so frequently. The only respect I have for pokemon now is the games which are becoming quite generic and repetitive. If diamond and pearl doesn't innovate the series I'm giving up pokemon for good.

 

[CyberCubed]

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Don't comment on something when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Cyber Cubed, just shut up already you can stick to your opinion and I can stick to mine. Anyway you're 20 years old and you're still watching kids WB. You're so darn annoying stop instigating me and get a life.

Ok just wanna say..

Pikachu is Satoshi's By far Strongest pokemon, despite Lizardon who is off Training.

It is only an OPINION That the Anime is bad, not an actual fact.

Satoshi is not a dumbass...He is a normal Kid...not everyone has to be "Intelligent" like you. </Sarcasm>

Rocketto-Dan is There for Comic relief, They are needed for the show and I actually like having them around.

So can we have enough of your Anime/Satoshi bashing? Go play your games and it'd be nice if you stayed off of the ANIME Threads...>_> They do have game Threads too.

 

[Kabuto]

I have to say, the anime is getting alot better in Japan thanks to less fillers, and more pokemon evolving in the BF.

Oh God, why am I getting myself wrapped up in a flame war with this post? >>

Says 13-year-old who hates the show and yet still comes to a fansite's forum.

ZING!

Excuse me? You're the one who came to Serebii.net. You're the one who has bashed Ash. You're the one picking fights with the locals. You're the one instigating everything. If you don't like the anime that much, I suggest you hit the road.

Yeah, stick to your opinion and keep failing

Anyway you're 20 years old and you're still watching kids WB.

Pokemon is for ALL ages. lol If you're point is correct, you're 13, aren't you supposed to be at a random porn site right about now? :/

You're so darn annoying stop instigating me and get a life.

CyberCubed is the one making valid points here, so I don't see how he can annoy you. Look, you're the annoying one. You keep on bitching on Ash and the anime without a valid reason. You fail.

I'm 20 years old watching KidsWb because I'm a great fan of animation. Because I plan or hope to get a job as a writer in the animation industry.

Considering I want to be a writer for an action cartoon as my career in life, I'd say I'm in the right place.

You know...it's posts like this that make me sick.
The Anime is for ALL Ages...the only thing that may make it seem Childish is that Most but certainly not all of it's viewers are kids.

I want to do the same thing and the reason is because of pokémon.
