Modern anime will never be as good.
No, it's not because KANTOOOOOO.
but instead of having an entire for face reactions memes, dumb plot with no progress at all and all it does it trying too hard to make autists laugh with their trash art style and "lmao Pikachu face is priceless XD" memes, the anime used to have actual development, real interactions with Pokemon, plot that advances, Ash relations with his Pokemon.

I'm not a genwunner even though I grew up with Pokemon since Gen1, but modern Pokemon is absolutely shit compared to the past but it's sad that Pokemon stopped being Pokemon and now it's trying to mimick other franchises just to be trendy and follow internet memes. it's disgusting because it's not even trying to be original with its jokes.
