Frankly, the anime has been disappointing. So uncreative and just plain stupid.

First of all, get our freakin' voice actors back.

Then get some originality and creativity.


I can only hope the movie is anything better than the anime.


Your thoughts?

Most of my complaints have been covered, but one I really have to point out that I agree with is when Ash comes across a Pokémon that's been included before and he still doesn't know what it is.

And does it ever really outright state the ages? No matter how you look at it, someones age is messed up - Ash would, at the least, be near 14 by now. I think traveling all over Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Kanto again, and now Sinnoh - ON FOOT - would take close to a year each.

Dawn - I've watched very little of the anime after Johto, but Dawn has to have at least started puberty to have the development she does, which goes against how I would think she was near ten, because she just started on her "pokémon journey."

Misty - since ten is the youngest age a Pokémon trainer can be, its very unlikely that Misty would be able to be allowed to take over as a gymleader if she were ten like it says, and people wouldn't be going on about how beautiful she is in her mermaid water shows.

May - okay, her age is quite flexible. If I remember right she was quite reluctant to even get a pokémon, let alone go on a journey with one, in the beginning. That would allow her to be older, matching her figure.

No matter how it goes, Ash and each of the female characters have either be near the same age (or have some defect that causes abnomalities in their height.)

And on ways to fix it: I agree with some of the other posts I read, to - it doesn't need to be fixed. It should be left as it is, but it should cut out most of the fillers. (Most of the fillers are most likely attempts by the writers to drag it out until new ideas are made anyway.) It should go into a slow... decline, I suppose you could say, up until it ends - naturally, not a hurried, cut off let's-get-this-over-with ending or a drag-it-out-as-long-as-possible ending, but covering the remaining gym leaders, the Sinnoh Pokémon League, and possibly the Battle Area, with fillers being added in for capturing new pokémon, super contests, Team Rocket, traveling, etc.

As the anime is "dieing out", either a new manga and/or a new anime should be started, starting out in any region (but Orre certainly gives off the outlaw vibe well enough that it would fit, while a new region could be made all together) and focusing on the "darker" side of the Pokémon world. It should contain at least some blood, cursing, violence, death, etc. (And by that, I mean like in the animes Inuyasha, Bleach, Death Note, Naruto Shippuden to some extent, etc.) In other words, aiming at teenagers and young adults, 15-19 years old, the people who watched the anime and played Red, Blue and Yellow Versions as kids.
