i dont care what anyone says, the new pokemon series is terrible and doesent even come close to how cool the original series was. in the old pokemon it had a great mix of action and comedy. now its not even funny. pikachu used to be so cute, and silly. just look at the showdown at the dark city. half the episode pikachu carried around a bottle of ketchup and just loved it. then when slyther cut it up pikachu's eyes started to water. funny and cute. but he was also a seriesly strong pokemon that never gave up. also ash, he used to take battleing seriously. but now hes just a joke. he used to run around looking for trainers to fight, but now he just waits for them. also when a pokemon gets hurt in battle, istead of saying. COME ON GET UP. or, YOU CAN DO IT,or even my favorite. WERE NOT GONNA LOSE. but now he always says. OH, ARE YOU ALRIGHT. god hes just not the same.

also in the old pokemon they acted like real people. when thier was trouble they first stayed out of it, but then they were somehow dragged into it. but now if thiers any sign of trouble they immediatly head for it. also officer jenny isnt the same. anytime they try arresting ash he says hes innocent and she believes him. in the old one she acted like a real cop. and just arrested him on the spot. also ash dosent act like a trainer anymore. he never trys to catch pokemon anymore. the only time he does is if they become his friend first. look at the manky pokemon episode. ash did his best to catch him, and when ash picked up the pokeball manky broke free and beat him up. that was halarious. but now they spend the whole episode trying to be friend with the pokemon. when ash tryed to catch bulbasoar he had to battle him at the end.

and they just dont build friendships like they used to. almost everyone who watchs the episode when ash trys to let pikachu go, will cry. but now its just not sad. also what happened to meowth. he used to be the smart alack of team rocket. but now i dont even know what to say about him. pokemons not even funny anymore. im writting this because my brother, who is seven, chose to watch the original pokemon over pokemon xy. so please comment. let me hear your oppinion. i need to know im not the only one who thinks that they ruined the pokemon show.

Whoah, whoah, whoah, calm down first of all, also gen wunners are gonna hate every single season apart from the original. This is coming from a 13 year old who has seen all the original seasons (Kanto through to Johto) and grew up with the hoenn / advanced saga and the DP saga of the anime. To be honest, the problem here is you haven't given new seasons a chance, ever seen the hoenn saga in the anime? If not then go get over to pokemonepisode.org and watch it. Yes, DP was a really bad season but it still has it's moments. (At least it still has Brock) BW is where everything went bad, they replaced Brock, Iris was really annoying for the most part. X and Y is OK. I'm not saying it's terrible since it's a massive improvement from BW, I'm saying it's OK, it's not amazing but it's not SO TERRIBLE YOUR GOING TO DIEEE. Go to pokemonepisode.org and watch the hoenn saga, just a suggestion ok?

Okay, thanks for sharing your opinion. Now, you're going to make this cleaner or it'll be a delete.
I'm not a fan of massive wall of texts.

Lulz, my sentiments exactly :p I edited it a little to make it (very slightly) easier on everyone's eyes. Now for my reply:

I can only just assume that you mean the anime, the mispellings made me scratch my head a lot though. I gathered a while ago that Pokemon has fallen into the dry rot that all animes suffer from when they run on for too long, but it's almost always just a temporary slump.

^From someone who, despite his utmost wishes, hasn't watched Pokemon since childhood.

ok 1 i have watched every single pokemon episode. i have given them all a chance. but after 5 episode of pokemon black and white i just gave up. not even my little brother will watch pokemon x or y. he loves the old pokemon, but the new ones just ruined. i tryed to give them a chance, but pokemon just isnt the same.
 
keep in mind thouh, different writers are writing the show now. If you can get over the fact that certain parts of the show changed, it's actually not that bad, and that's coming from someone who's grown up with the show since johto
 
well i can understand diffrent writter, diffrent changes. but the changes arent minor. everything that was pokemon has been changed. just watch pokemon the first movie. and pokemon x and y the movie. and you will see the truth.

I know how you feel...Ash hardly uses Pikachu anymore, and the Pokémon are based off like garbage, and gears...not creative.

While the earlier seasons of Pokemon are very nostalgic for me, the anime never had good writing and essentially exists to promote the games, the anime was never ruined because it honestly was never good in the first place. If you want good Pokemon story lines and characters, go read the Pokemon Adventures manga.
Also please consider taking a grammar course or something, that wall of text gave me cancer.

I love the manga version!

Though the one series I prefer to watch is Pokémon Origins, despite how short it is I love how it is based around Red. (Though I like his fan art version)

I'm 21 and I still like the anime (so much that I got the pokemon app on my phone) but the game story is kinda devolving now because team rocket from the first and second generation are pretty awesome because they wanted to steal pokemon from the trainers and they was more evil. The other generations was just boring Japanese cliche villains (especially 6th generation) which wasn't fun at all.
