Only Memories......
I think the problem that happened to pokemon was, they treat every episode like it was nothin. Not like the good ol' days where Gym Battles were actually exciting like the Brock gym battle and Lt. Surge. My favorite episode was where they were on the S.S. Anne and James got scammed into buying a magikarp. Ahhhh good times. But now all the episodes are is let's love are pokemon not battle. Let's not catch anymore pokemon let's see if they want to come with using there own free will, "well do ya buddy?" and instead of letting Ash win a tournament, disgarding the Orange Island, let's make him lose all the time so we can come up with a bunch of other crap pokemon. I'm Sorry the original 150, 151 if you count Mew, were the best pokemon ever.
The new episodes have takin everything I loved away from the old school pokemon, catching, training, and winning with pokemon. Will Misty ever get her bike back? Will someone ever have the same feelings for Brock that he has for them? Will Ash ever beat Gary and become a pokemon master? Will Ash ever evolve Pikachu? *I doubt it* But those are the things i watched the tv show for with anticipation hoping my questions will be answered.
But alas, I fear a good thing can't go on forever...and now all i have are my memories of the good times I had when I was younger playing the gameboy game trading cards etc..I was a diehard pokemon fan just like all other kids around the nation were and as much as it pains me to say this cuz it was such an impact in my childhood I think they need to let pokemon go down in glory and just stop continuing the series in America.
