Overall, best saga ever. Next to the Battle Frontier.

I didn't like Sinnoh that much but it did have good and bad points:
Good:
+A more serious tone for once
+Barry and Paul
+Hunter J.
+Team Galactic
+Cynthias appearances
+Gym leaders and elite four
+Teams are being handled pretty good as far as attacks and evolutions

Bad things:
-rehashed episodes such as Piplups evolution thing becomes another Pikachu, Mamoswine becoming another Charizard
-Dawn, I really do not like her character on the whole, she seems to me like a bit of a 'cutsie' character
-Ash, they've really made him seem like he is the ultimate great character, he never does any wrong, blah blah, really, shades of gray people, ahdes of gray, it isn't always black and white...
-Jesse & James, really they're pushing it, they do absolutely nothing now but are a 'comedy' part of the show.
-Piplup is waay too cutsie here, it has become some sort of 'mascot'
-Aimbipom, completely ridiculous there
-Kenny and Zoey
-The Contests
-Brock has become some sort of 'mom,' cooking and cleaning and all that crap
-Wobuffet

"Tougher than you."
Okay a few to add

  • Good

    Ash's team (Poor Johto, xD)

    Chimchar evolveing (Thank god)

    Paul (It was about time Ash got a decent rival)

    Team Galactic (MUCH MUCH better than Team magma and aqua)

    Elite four and Cynthia (Yeah, they haven't been forgotten!)

    More battle techniques

    May's return (Yay! a main girl with a balanced team not like Dawn. >.>)

    Little more focus on Ash not like in AG where May got his spotlight. (But it was a good change though)

  • Bad

    Dawn's personality. (I bet they only like her for that skirt she has. my neice and newphew told me this themselfs and their 7. >.>)

    Dawn's unblanced team (bleh, horrible.)

    Pilpup begin the new mascot for pokemon (who i think is starting to replace poor little pikachu)

    Team rocket begin mroe useless than ever. (like they weren't bad enough. >.>)

    Some pokemon screen time. (Pilpup is a GREAT example. why can't it stay in its ball longer?)

    Brock who to me has become more dull and starting to act like a personal cook for Ash and Dawn.

    Mamoswine, (i mean WTF? Dawn has cute pokemon and suddenly POOF we get this huge ground/ice pokemon in her team who is a perfect copy of Charizard >.>)

    Fillers (Do i have to say more?)

    Grotle getting more dull. (I liked it as a Turtwig more)

    Dawn's rivals. (I miss Drew, Harley and Soledad. T_T)

    Aimbipom (srsly, it comes with Ash to Sinnoh, gets traded, evolves and gets a new passion for PING PONG?! what the h..l are the writers doing?)

    Ash's repeative team (he catched flying, grass, fire and two wildcards plus pikachu. can't they give him some other team more interesting?)

    Lack of humour. (Even AG was MORE funny than DP. DP is too much action and 'teams and fillers' i mean what happened to pikachu and his ketchup?)

    Kenny (Poor Penginue shippers. xD)

    May's lost to Dawn. (really, i swear Pilpup is rigged.)

The good:

Ash's clothes.............ya can't beat black lol..................well maybe with some red
Ash's pokemon get development
Ash getting more than one starter again
It's relatively long
Elite 4 actually making appearances
Cool rival with great attitude
The series is darker than the others

The Bad:
Drags out a bit
The contests aren't that memorable and just don't feel as special as the originals
Brock does barely anything this series
Brock's pokemon besides croagunk get barely any recognition
It started out really good with veryone getting action but it's slowly deteriated
Aipom getting traded and then released :O:O:O

< go ask alice >
To sum it up simply, I believe I'll remember Sinnoh as the region/season of Pokemon that I believed was going to be the best yet--an upgraded, far more awesome version of Kanto that included little quirky (but interesting) things like Dawn's nickname, Zoey as a rival and etc... until about half way in and I realized that it wasn't neccesarily going to stay as awesome as it had started out being.

I'll remember it as the season that made me end up just not caring much about the Anime anymore. >:l

Good/Pros:
- Ash's Pokemon
- Pikachu's behavior
- Hunter J (she's an awesome bay guy, IMO)
- Ambipon's release (Never liked her, anyway)

Bad/Cons:
- Team Rocket's repeative threats ever since their first encounter with Ash
- Team Galactic (I didn't really like Team Galactic and 95% of their episodes turns into a sad borefest tandom)
- One out of seven gym leader's brief plot (they were disappointing)
- Lack of interacting with random characters, no fun arguments, and so on

Sinnoh's saga is now turning into a borefest region IMO, so I don't want to remember it too often and I bet the Battle Frontier in Jotho or whatever, is going to turn into a borefest with boring themes and boring characters. That's all I have with the Good/Pros and Bad/Cons, or whatever.

  • Pros:
  • Barry is amazing, and just liek the character in the game
  • Gym battles are awesome, my favourite thus far would be Ash vs Crasher Wake and the awesome Buizel vs Floatzel matchup
    Cons:
  • evolutions need to happen more often, I cannot count the amount of times I've screamed at the TV "JUST EVOLVE YOU STUPID BUIZEL!"
  • Brocks team is terrible this time round, why on earth does he have a Happiny? Its just a Misty/Togepi rehash.
  • Old stories rehashes - Charizard/Mamoswine, be original mr story-writer pleeease
  • Why can Ash still not just catch a pokemon like a normal person, does he even know how? Chimchar, Gligar, can't remember others.

I Will Remember this as the Worst saga of Pokemon, the longest, the random, boring, lack of humour, with the most Fillers etc etc etc...

It has Nothing Good... well only Paul xD
