I haven't watched Pokemon or any anime in years. I know how it ends for Ash. Should I give this a chance?

You can, but do not watch the TPCi dub, it's gotten worse and worse over time, to the point where even 4Kids did a better job with it.

Go subs for this shit, my friend.

Honestly, I wouldn't. The human characters are all pretty bland, predictable, generic and repetitive. Flow of the story feels like a bunch of repetitive clichés and running gags. If you want a good show, just skip straight to the Pokemon battles. Seriously, they are the best thing about the show. Great animation and music made even better (in my opinion) in the Japanese version. I would just YouTube all the gym and rival battles, seriously ya won't be missing out on much

No, the XY anime is boring as fuck 99% of the time and you can tell because the apologists who support it only repost webms from the same 2 or 3 episodes.

Watch Generations and wish the Pokemon anime was actually good.

I'm not saying Generations is 10/10 great, but it makes ME wish that the anime was more like it.

>implying Generations has anything to do with genwun

The thing I like about Generations is that it follows the games more, while expanding on it.

watch gym battles, tournaments, contests and important plot battles. Disregard filler. Then it's a great show.

The dub is absolute shit now, though.

>>28997518
It has a pretty mediocre dub and a lot of the shorts are disconnected from each other, though.

I'm biased against dubs in general, but I don't think a dub has anything to do with the quality of the actual content, if you know what I mean.

And yeah, the shorts are unfortunately, just that; shorts. That's why I wish that the anime was just more like Generations. Then we'd get longer, connected stories.

I get what you mean, but you don't seem to realize just how horrible TPCi have handled the dubbing itself lately. I'll just pull up a comparison:

Fair point: if Generations was longer and the dub wasn't so mediocre, I'd be for it. At any rate, anything is better than what the Anime's become, unfortunately.

Don't worry! We're in agreement, totally! I wasn't even replying to the first half of your post, trust me I know how shitty the dub is.

What I meant is like, if you'll indulge my weeb, take a show like, I don't know, Cowboy Bebop. Imagine the dub was absolute SHIT. The show would still be good. (not to start anything, i've had enough shitstorms for a few hours)

Yeah, you're not wrong, the Pokemon Anime has always been pretty shitty in general, but TPCi's dub makes it literally unwatchable for me in English.

Some slight mishaps in late XY&Z aside, it's genuinely the best the Pokemon anime has ever been, and it's been a highly enjoyable ride.
So yes, yes you should. Ignore the "Ash lost the league so the entire series is pointless by proxy" faggotry.

I've been rewatching it recently, started at the very beginning. I'm only up to episode 160 or so thus far and I can tell you that the best arc so far has been the Orange Islands by far, entertaining, concise, Ash actually won the "league", best movie to go along with it. Season 1 had great parts but also really boring ones, and they're dragging Johto way the fuck out and it's becoming stale. I'm guessing it only gets worse from here on out, not sure how long I can last.

The worst parts of Johto is the stretch between the third and fifth badge. After the Chuck battle, the quality picks up considerably.
