At the same time though I really don't want to see those characters written by the modern day pokemon writeres, making everyone spastic and hyper, or overly polite and sanitized. I liked the original season because everybody was kind of a dick and there was a lot of entertaining banter, feels like they don't do that anymore, and if they do it's realy softballed.
