This. Digimon is the one with an actual story, a proper beginning and ending. Digimons' the one where Digimons fucking die. Digimon's the one that's teaching kids about real issues like dealing with siblings, divorce, adoption, etc.

Pokemon isn't a real story. It's commercial diarrhea. You're tuning in to a weekly commercial that's 20 minutes long and trying to make something more out of it because you like the advertised product.

No, you’re just blinded by nostalgia. Even the original series, while having the most soul compared to what came later, was pretty much average compared with the rest of its anime class. In terms of mon series only, it never even held a candle against Digimon.

The only reason why you tolerated Indigo was because it's half the length of the other regions.

He took up a mentor role in Hoen and SInnoh

Later series, he's a happy go lucky robot with seemingly no flaws.

I can't even compare him to other Shonen heroes, cause even though they were happy go lucky they still had way more personality than Ash

At one point, sure, but by the time it got out of the developmental period, that wasn't the case anymore. As such the anime and this movie don't really have much connecting them besides characters. It isn't canon.

for me, it's not cynicism at all. i stopped watching the ashnime as a kid during the johto arc because i knew even back then that it was boring shit and was always going to be. there were plenty of better kids' cartoons at the time.
what's mind-boggling to me is that there's adults on here who not only still watch this shit, but even try to convince themselves that it's any good.

I love when nostalgiafags try to pretend that the anime was ever anything more than just an advertisement. It was ALWAYS just an advertisement. Sure, the quality of that advertisement changed over time due to who was director and stuff, but it was always just an ad. Not sure where these "characters with depth" and "actual development" came into play. Yeah, Ash changed over time, with over time being like over the course of 300 episodes he would gradually take a single episode out of them to change a tiny bit. Wow, such great character development! It only took 300 episodes for Ash to go from 'rookie in over his head' to 'experienced Pokemon trainer'. Where's the depth?

I can't believe what I'm reading. I thought it was generally agreed that Pokemon was basically the Land before Time of anime. One home run of an original series that really captured what it was like to go outside with your friends and get into trouble, with an endless stream of garbage and pandering to weird dorks/little kids afterwords

Good cartoons appeal to adults AND kids

You are an idiot obsessed with nostalgia. The general consensus from normies is that the anime became worse after Indigo League because that's when normies lost interest in Pokemon and moved on to other things. The same people who pretend the original anime was this great show haven't ever watched it with a critical eye or haven't seen it at all since like 2001. Just take off the rose tinted glasses.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! anime (at least the second one that's much more well known) basically just skips the entire first section of the manga, essentially anything before card games became the core central focus of the series, and boiled it all down to one single episode where Yugi meets and fights Kaiba. After that, the manga went through two or three major arcs and basically was on its way to ending, so the anime created a bunch of filler arcs to keep the gravy train flowing. After the original manga ended, the animes continued with GX and stuff which don't really have much to do with the original manga.

this is the first time i've ever seen anyone think this about the ashnime. there was never some huge change in quality after the indigo league. most people stopped watching after the first season because pokemania ended and most people stopped caring after the first season. it's the same reason why gsc didn't sell nearly as well as gen 1.
while i agree that good cartoons can appeal to everyone, pokemon isn't one of those.

in exactly two episodes one of which wasnt even an official anime episode, informs nothing in brock's character

wow look at all these characters filled with depth! do you honestly think "two characters don't like each other much and then after a few episodes like each other" constitutes character development worth celebrating? pokemon was always a show for children and an advertisement.

*sips monster*

aaaaaaahhhhhh... now pokemon, that was a good show, back when i was a kid, the pokemon anime really MEANT something, you know? it was basically the best kids show ever made and it had deep, meaningful characters. remember charizard versus magmar? those were the good old days. not like now, when all the anime has is meme faces and lolis. *takes big sip of monster* aaaaaahhhhhhhh... things used to be better, ha ha. i should dig out my old game boy pocket and play some of the GOOD pokemon games like yellow.

Digimon wasn't really a monster collecting franchise, at least not in the same vein as Pokemon. It was originally a virtual pet franchise. There is a difference.

No, because you act like a douchebag who won't give the time of day to any opinion that's not your own, compares the Pokemon anime to classic films, and constantly seems pissed off. So, exactly the kind of person you'd act like if you wanted to bait people into responding to you. Either you're baiting, or you're actually just an unpleasant idiot.

If you're not baiting, just know that acting like a stubborn brick wall who says ridiculous shit isn't going to sway anyone's opinion. You're just making yourself look stupid.

That's literally the only reason Ishihara approved the anime in the first place.

https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Pokemon-HeartGold-Version-SoulSilver-Version/Iwata-Asks-Pokemon-HeartGold-Version-SoulSilver-Version/2-The-King-Of-Portable-Toys/2-The-King-Of-Portable-Toys-225900.html

>Ishihara: The reason that I licensed so many products and developed things like the trading cards was basically to ensure that Gold and Silver were successful. I felt that this was my primary role.

>Ishihara: I was determined to create the optimum conditions for Gold and Silver’s release. That’s why I initially opposed even the animated series…

>Iwata: Why was that?

>Ishihara: Well, after researching all sorts of previous data, I learned that animated series on television tend not to last very long. So even when a series based on a game starts, it tends to last six months or, at most, a year.

>Iwata: It would be awful if the series was already over before the game was even out.

>Ishihara: Exactly. The animated series started in April 1997, and if it had stopped broadcasting in 1998, what would we have done then? We had made Gold and Silver with the intention of releasing them in 1998.

Literally the entire reason Ishihara had the anime (along with the TCG) created was, in his own words, to create optimal conditions for Gen 2 to succeed, as he was expecting Game Freak to finish and release them in 1998. The games being behind schedule made the anime even more crucial to their success, hence the Orange Islands filler arc.

I didn't check out the anime until they started reairing season 1 after I had beaten the games. It was shit from the beginning. You have some weird nostalgic attachment to pity badges, anime physics, characters of the day, animation that makes speed racer look fluid, and above all a protagonist written to be an idiot.

Nah. It was literally carried by novelty and Pokemania, once the poke craze died so did the anime popularity, and most of what people consider good about the original series (as in, the series they watched as children) is seen through rose-tinted nostalgia goggles.

Have Ash win the Alola league, give him closure or whatever and call him a Pokémon master.

Next season starts off with AU Ash from a move or something and starts him fresh in a new region with a Pikachu.
