You know the constant complain that they went downhill since/after Johto?

They're right...

How the games work:
2nd Gen>3rd Gen>1st Gen>4th Gen (though it had Wifi, which is nice)

How the anime works:
1st Season-->It's all downhill from there.

I was slightly hoping for the spoilz to miraculously be 'it improved'. ah well, thanks

Sure it went downhill since 1st season, but goddamn the Diamond/Pearl series was fucking fantastic.

>>34306547
Anime - Agreed on that one 100%. Only the first 80 or so eps are worth anything.

Games - Eh. 1st Gen = 4th Gen > 3rd Gen > 2nd Gen
Though I like 'em all

Hunter J was 'da bomb'
I still hope for Misty to return though. :(

>>34306506
Ash/Dawn/Brock is better than Ash/May/Brock/Max at least. If you're going to jump in again at the anime, go for D/P and not Adv.
That said, it still isn't as good as S1.

>>34306583
>2nd Gen on bottom

>>34306648

>>34306601
Misty is not going to come back no matter how much fans want it apart from possibly a one off episode, and even that chance was lowered with Dawn getting a Togekiss
Get over it, faggots.

>>34306506
Great. Now I want Jolie and Depp to play them both in a live-action film.

>Misty is never coming back.

Will Ash ever meet a girl to travel with without having to destroy her bike?

>>34306719
Oh how I wish they'd give Brock a rest, bring Misty back and have a badass male companion to replace Brock :(

>>34306755
did any of them actually get a bike back?

>>34306506
>Johto
Best english opening ever. Movie mix:

Also, Team Galaxy story arc is interesting since STUFF IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING, but the animation quality is too far gone for it to be any good.

>>34306825
Seconded. Give the Galactic arc a shot and if it's not for you, stick with Season 1 only.

>>34306506
My Favorite poke right here.

Bring back Pokemon Chronicles!

This still amuses me

But it's hard to believe how fucking retarded AMB must be to buy into it. >.>

>>34306933
Prefer it where Ash cross-dresses to get in Erika's gym, but still sorta lol

>>34306776

>>34306982
It would not be so far fetched to think this actually happened.

>implying Johto wasn't the worst arc ever

They took a main region and made it mostly shit filler. It's the worst of everything in Pokemon. It's the first season's comedy aspects turned to shit with inconsistent flanderization, and the later arcs semi-seriousness in battles, except they're far too short and essentially "QUICK ATACK QUICK ATTACK QUICK ATTACK QUICK ATTACK QUICK ATTACK."

Pretty much everything animated in Pokemon, even the worst of the movies, are better than the anime's Johto. Johto killed its credibility. You all know you stopped watching somewhere in Goldenrod City/Ecruteak City.

Ooooh yeah.

>>34306868
which episodes?

I know it's just Pokemon but as a kid I was definitely fucking creeped by the Sabrina arc with her 'dollhouse'

>>34307067

Galactic Battles. I think it starts at DP 130...

>>34307045
Not all of us did. I bore through all of the shit in Johto.
Hoenn felt refreshing after baring through it all, not to mention that the Silver Conference was pretty fucking cool in its own right.

Johto was utter shit...apart from this.

IF SHE KNEW HOW MUCH OF A BITCH BLISSEY IS IN COMPETITIVE PLAY, SHE WOULD HAVE TOOK IT

>>34307200
Thanks.

>>34306776
>Implying Misty wasn't made worse by the over-reliance of Psyduck, and that fucking Togepi

>>34307222
Sort of why Jessie and James are by far my favourites.

Remember when Brock use to be a rock Pokemon specialist?

Haters gon' hate: May was the best out of the 3 girls.

>>34307329
Remember when Brock used to be anything? Why is he still there? What happened with professor Ivy?

Best gals were the titty monsters.

>>34307359

He just wants to breed pokemon. And with any available female.

>>34307443
In b4 Brock fucking a Luvdisc.

>>34307346
Dawn > Misty >>>>> May

Ash actually has a potentially good setup this season, but we all know he will find some way to fuck up Gible.

Ah, the anime.
The only Pokemon-related thing where a regular Pikachu can easily take out a fucking Yanmega.

>>34307409
Shit, Candice should be in that group.

>>34307616
AIM FOR THE HORN.

>>34307554
Is that a joke? Dawn is LAST.
The writers have just given her May's motive of entering contests, plus a Togekiss which rightfully should be Misty's.

Contests are boring shit and Zoey is like a chick version of Ash. When will we get back to adventuring?

I think it's time Jessie and James get new pokemon.
Jessie - Froslass?
James - Drifblim?

>>34307770
>Jessie - Froslass
OH SHI-

>>34307770
HNNNNNNNG

>>34307770
Jessie's okay with Yanmega for now.
James DEFINITELY needs a new one though

>>34307740
Dawn/Zoey = unsubtle lesbianism.
But yeah, I'm not a fan of the contests.

>>34307959
Drifblim would only confirm him for pedophile tier.

>>34308108
Hm, Dusclops then? Oh wait, still pedophile tier.

>>34308024
>Dawn/Zoey = unsubtle lesbianism.
I have pokemon running in the background and 5 minutes in she's already looking for dawn. FFS...

>>34308130
I didn't say being pedophile tier was a bad thi-
>World where a bunch of 10 year-olds run aorund unattended
Wait.

>>34307359
Actually...why DID Brock appear in Hoenn with Forry? Was there any particular reason apart from HEY VIEWERS DON'T LEAVE, MISTY'S GONE BUT BROCK'S BACK :D

I also haven't watched Pokemon since middle of Johto, then I suddenly started watching D/P and I am enjoying it more than I should. And I hate gen3 games because I haven't seen the anime.

>Jolie and Depp as Jessie and James.
HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK, IT WORKS.
