Okay, I started to re-wath indigo league, and all I can say is:

Why am I not getting anything out of this? Did I have shit taste as a child or did my nostalgia blind me? I just can't seem to understand why people think this was good back then.

Am I missing something?

It's all nostalgia. It's just as bad as kiddy shounen series are today.

Skip ahead to DP. Then stop when you get to BW.

100% nostalgia goggles, I can hardly go 5 minutes before I start riffing on it like a madman.

I grew up with the Pokémon anime, and DP is the point where I'd say the show started getting bad. Gen 3's anime wasn't too good because of 4Kids' editing/censoring and questionable dub quality, but it had its moments. DP just felt hollow and empty to me, like the show was just going through its motions. Ironically, DP is my favorite game gen.

Nostalgia. Watch XY for good stuff instead.

If he doesn't like the OS, I didn't think he'd like Johto. But yeah, starting at AG is okay.

Nostalgiafaggotry aside, the dub was always a low budget, low quality production that people mostly like today because of nostalgic affection for the voices and acting.

I don't think you're missing anything. The same thing happened to me, I can't even get any enjoyment out of rewatching the movies, let alone the TV series. It's the most basic form of "monster of the week" show, with little to no development or direction. Maybe all it's charm is lost on me as an adult, but I don't know, the games sure never lost theirs. I feel that even back then, you watched it to see animated pokémon and nothing else.

That's how I felt about the actual games, funny enough. Pokémon never felt more stale.

As for the show itself, DP is where I stopped watching, although it wasn't due to any change in quality, I just got tired of following it. People who did watch it say it was one of the best ones, so I don't know.

If pokemon came out today it would likely be comparably reviewed, honestly.

I found the first seasons to be more creative with how they would introduce new Pokemon in the show. The show got really dull when the writers got formulaic.
