Regarding Black and White, Meowth has rejoined Team Rocket and his Heel Face Turn was all a hoax. Although I'm pretty sure anybody could've seen that coming. Still, it was nice to have Meowth as part of the good guys for a little while. I just wish he could've seen Ash participate and win his next gym badge before reuniting with Jessie and James.

As for Pokemon Chronicles, I wish it was still going on. I liked seeing things from other characters' point of views, especially since Brock and Dawn are gone now.

Yeah, not a big surprise. It was pretty unique in the series though.

Whatever happend to Brock and Dawn, especially Brock, since he's been through the first 13 seasons. Now his male role is replaced by Cilan, which isn't a bad replacement.......
 
Re: The Official Pokemon Anime and Movie Thread

The anime has gone downhill a bit.

I loved the Diamond and Pearl season because I thought it was really good, and then Black and White came and it got a little boring with Iris and Cilan. I really liked Dawn as a character, and Iris is just annoying.

I also really liked the DP series because it was not just battle battle battle and no personality to the Pokemons. DP at least had all the Pokemons have more defined personalities, and the dynamic Pokemon like Ash's Infernape and Dawn's Mamoswine. BW just has caught Pokemon, they make only like appearances once in awhile, and really the only Pokemon that have characteristics is Ash's Pikachu and three starters, Cilan's Pansage, and Iris' Axew (maybe Dragonite as well).

Not only that, but the battles have increased, but the quality has decreased. Literally, they have filler battles in tournaments where they just have the player use one move, and the character of the day is defeated. I missed some of the more dynamic and interesting battles of the previous seasons.

I hope that XY will improve a bit. Two gym leaders shouldn't be partners with Ash; bring a new trainer again.

Let's see, the first seasons were great and memorable, but now it's going downhill. Ash is still the same after, what 5 years?
Oh and also this:

In my opinion, Diamond and Pearl had the best League. Tons of old pokemon were brought back, Cyndaquil evolved, Ash and Paul had an epic battle, Sceptile took out a Darkrai, and Ash made it to the Top 4.

Agreed. But I don't want to see Iris leave. She a dragon type Pokemon trianer (or attempting to be one), and I really love that fact. It's also kind of weird that Cilan completely replaced Brock, and they are both really similar. I don't think anyone's going to be replaced..........and if so, I do not know who it will be.

I think it started going downhill at Hoenn. In my opinion, Hoenn was the worst of the Anime, and DP did a good job picking it back up. And about Ash and the battles: Pokemon logic. Doesn't have to make sense I guess.

Totally agree with you there.
 
Re: The Official Pokemon Anime and Movie Thread

I agree that the series has gone downhill that I completley lost interest about 15 episodes into B/W as it was that bad as Cilan and Iris are both annoying and Ash acts like a noob again.
 
Re: The Official Pokemon Anime and Movie Thread

I think Ash needs to be removed, as Lily said Ash acts like a noob each time he goes to a new region. New mains characters would give a lot of freshness.

I agree, actually. Plus how long has he been 10 years old?
