Not to jump into something here, but it sounds to me like he's just saying it was better when it was "fresher". Or perhaps being younger at the time made everything better. That's how it was for me, anyway.

Personally, my favorite parts of the series are the first season and the beginning of Johto (and some of the Orange Island stuff I guess). Plus the first two or three movies. After that, I would ask myself why I was watching and was unable to come up with a decent answer, so... yeah.

This. Many things are good when they're fresh, however that is often destroyed by repeating.

I like this. It's great to see something bright for a change. Though one thing bugs me: it's almost impossible to see any text on the Private Message bar besides the mentioned.

You want to start a debate? I don't. I just happened to like the first season. After that those features started to get old on me simply because I didn't like the repeating nature of the series. End of story.

I used Bibarel and Starly. Though I had a team of six so it was kinda annoying to switch someone out for a HM slave.

At first they sounded a bit odd, but I got used to them.

They've been comic relief since like the 7th episode of the series.

Well I was saying my own opinion. Let them be the comical relief, I just don't like it. This topic is about telling your opinion, not the absolute truth.

There are tons that don't repeat their names.

I didn't say they all repeat, did I? I just stated that I don't like the feature. Again, my opinion.

So you hate it not because of it's character, but because of it's popularity?

Sounds like that's your problem, and not a problem with the show.

In fact, sounds like you don't like Pokemon at all. It's not "like the mascot of everything." It IS the mascot.

No, I just don't like Pikachu, never had.

Yeah, that's so dumb!!!11!111!1!!! Putting the most popular and recognized Pokemon on merchandise. What are they thinking? Trying to make money?

You're right. Again I simply don't like the mascot and therefor don't like seeing it everywhere.

The first season is one of the worst offenders of filler after filler after filler.

Maybe so, but it's still repeating itself.

Ironically, it isn't "always winning."

Maybe exaggerated, but most of the times it is.

- Ash is an idiot who decides not to evolve his Pokemon

- Pokemon that aren't supposed to beat some other Pokemon beats it (example: Misty's Goldeen takes down James's Victreebel, Ash's Bulbasaur single-handedly takes down wild Gengars and Haunters with VINE WHIP, etc...)

- The case for anime ubers (see below)

All from above and more:

-Jessy and James are useless addition nowdays. They just lenghten episodes, they're annoying and their plans never ever succeed. I mean what's the point in the whole thing?

-Always same schemes. Ash and his über byber pikachu and some sidekicks come to a new place. They meet a new situation or pokemon. Team Rocket tries to steal this new pokemon (if there is) and über pikachu and then über pikachu uses Thunderbolt and the whole universe explodes and Team Rocket flies away, again. Then they leave.

-Something that has been bothering me from the beginning: pokemon cries. I don't like the thing that their cries are just repeating their name. They all should have cries like Charizard's, not repeating their own names, it just sounds stupid to me.

And the worst:

Ash's Pikachu

The menace that ruined the show for me. It ALWAYS wins! ALWAYS! Ha ha ha! So that Ground Pokemon Onix is immune to Electricity? I'm afraid not! Thundershock! Boom! Geodude? Pssh... Thundershock. DAI. Rhydon? AIM FOR TEH HORN! DAI BIG RHINO! That Marowak that took down Bulbasaur? Thundershock! It's a OHKO! Marowak becomes emo! Marowak left his trainer! (I'd be upset too if I got defeated by something I SHOULDN'T be defeated by)

Seriously? How strong can this thing be? Pokemon the First Movie: a single THUNDERSHOCK takes down Venomoth, Pinsir, and GOLEM! Seriously, this yellow rat is overpowered! Pikachu vs. Raichu: Hey guys that yellow rat won! You know what that means kids: NEVER evolve your Pikachu! Seriously, how lame!

Oh yeah, I heard from the 3rd generation anime (I stopped watching after the middle of Johto) that Uberchu took down a Regice. A... GIANT... LEGENDARY... WALL... OF... SPECIAL... DEFENSE... REGICE! Why do you pick on the ice Pokemon you anime producers?

But you wanna know this rat's losses? Rudy's Electabuzz rings the bell. Gary's Eevee and Electivire (I hear) is another. And another one I heard... Uberchu lost to this bloke Paul's Elekid. A... STUPID... ELEKID. Really? So that's what causes Pikachu to fall? The slayer of Rhydons and Regice... falls to the ALMIGHTY ELEKID?! I'm sick of this nonsense... really. I think Pikachu's my number 1 reason why I stopped watching this anime. It ALWAYS wins... but won't win against the Electabuzz family for some reason.

This is the main reason for me too. And I hate it when it's the mascot of everything. I was at a market and I happened to see some pokemon shirts, and all of them were covered in pikachu's. Seriously, in Platinum the first poketch app is a clock with a pikachu in it.

The first seasons were good but then this whole series just started to repeat itself.

I hate it when Gym Leaders/E4 have more than one of the same pokemon or its pre-evolutions. The Champion is just ridiculous. Electric- and Ice-moves take care of his whole team, so Weavile and Jolteon would be ideal, due to their fantastic speed. In Platinum, I really liked the Champion because she had variety on her pokemon. Same goes to the rest of the E4.

It's a tough choice. I would pick Cyndaquil, but then again I definitely want Arcanine or Houndoom. I would pick Totodile, but again I definitely want Starmie or Kingdra. Chikorita seems like a good choice but he's my least favourite starter so I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to choose.

I like the 3rd generation the best. Big area, good pokemon (my opinion, not yours) and huge variety on just everything.

When I was younger I played Silver. And I like the mascot and box art better, so SoulSilver is is.

I would like to have legit-looking Manaphy, please:

Thanks Ray! These are perfect.

I have three requests, please:

All male.
