Me personally I enjoy the first season even with all the early installment weirdness it has.
I like the subtle plot line of pikachu and the charizard disobedience story line.
Ash as a character here has the most personality and isn't just the hero guy or the dumb guy.
The dynamics with team rocket and Ash Brock and Misty are a huge highlight.
The OS feels like you're watching a youngster Joey somehow luck his way into getting all 8 badges. As opposed to the manga where the main characters are prodigies and the games where you are always going to win.
One thing I would change is how Ash loses the league as that was absolute bullshit. They should've let Ash lose in a real way showing how luck can only get you so far.
The OS feels weirdly enough like a kid friendly deconstruction of the original red and blue.
Ash isn't some special powerful individual like Yellow or Red or Blue Or Green.
Ash is a average 10 year old who got handed a pokemon who hated him and just said fuck it we ball.
The general anipoke fan would say they prefer xyz or diamond and pearl and that's fair.
I give it a 7/10
