>>24881709what are you taking about, people died in Kanto.
episode 1 all the spearows tried to kill ash for throwing rocks at them, and Pikachu was dying when he rushed him to the hospital.
Charmander episode was some sadistic shit where they all laughed and watched it die while it was screaming.
in the episode with Sabrina, Ash actually DID die.
mewtwo killed Dr. Fuji, and Dr. Fuji tried to resurrect his dead daughter.
ninetails episode the girl waited for her man to come back from war and he never did so she threw herself off the cliff.
Brock's mom was dead and his dead was a deadbeat drunk who never came around.
in later episodes they fucking brought her back and pretended like season 1 >plot< never happened.
when ash saw Gary in Gen 4 or 5 or some shit, he was like 'oh Gary wut u doin here, dis my ol fran Gary, k bai'. <- in Kanto and Johto when Gary walked up in the place it was a fucking event.
old pokemon = plot = anime
new pokemon = no plot + goes out of its way to kill old plot = cartoon bullshit
