>>36271162Get that shit out of here, Pokemon TFM was the original stuff. There's a reason that stone scene gets floated around gathering millions of views on facebook while any scene past gen 3 is only looked at by children tabbing around while their parents are at the gym. I'm no genwunner I like the new games but the cartoon itself declined harshly in quality starting in gen 3.
It was nolonger about the spunky scrappy baceballcap wearing kid out on an adventure to be the very top but some ggoogoo friendship bullshit, ash basically turned into sasuke if he could smile and they gave him a bunch of hinata girlfriends just so weeaboos could obsess since none of them know what actual girls are like, the reason normies hate pokemon is because of the decline of the show, which is the most accessible form of pokemon media.
If the cartoon retained that old grit and hard quality people would still watch it and still consider pokemon cool, Ash used to be a tough motherfucker who bickers with people who annoy him not smiling sasuke.
Normies still watch bye bye butterfree and the snowstorm episode but no one fucking watches XYZ since they're not diagnosed autistic weebs
