>>50565486I only watched some for a bit of nostalgia a while ago, I just watched a few episodes of the original Kantooo series and some XY because I heard it's good.
Was genuinely surprised by how awful this show is. Literally every episode, with the sole exception of Gym battle episodes (and maybe the episodes where Ash catches/evolves a team member) from the 90s up til today is exactly the same.
In the end I just skipped to watching the League episodes of each season. I'd say Ash vs Gary in Johto and Ash vs Paul in Sinnoh are the closest this show has ever been to being worth watching.
No adult could possibly enjoy this show unless it's the only show they've ever seen. Can't even chalk it up to nostalgia either, or just 'its for kids' because Digimon's anime was at least watchable, and Yugioh's show is straight up amazing
