Masamitsu Hidaka soesn't work on Pokémon anymore, the last thing he worked on was Movie 14. Besides, they totally changed the writing staff in BW, and it doesn't seem they condone this eyecandy thing Hidaka talked about, as they chose the ugliest of all female Unova Gym Leaders to follow Ash and...

My first episode was the very first episode, when it started to air here in September 2000. For some reason, I decided to give it a chance and was hooked ever since.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I read some of Weedle's claims that they may do in SM anime what they did in BW. Considering BW unpopularity amongst fans, as well as not so good ratings, I doubt they will do this very same mistake anytime soon. However, I agree that Serena will not be in...

You know, this is quite funny, but it was during Unova when I lost interest in Pokémon Anime for a few years and it wasn't until I saw Kalos, when I got my interest back. I later forced myself to watch the rest of Unova and Decolress, but I can't tell I enjoyed it. I guess everyone has different...

I would definitely NOT recommend Unova. That was the worst saga since Johto, maybe even surpassing Johto in that account. I'd say Sinnoh or Kalos. Sinnoh had great set of rivals and Contests added a great dynamics to the story, but Brock is weakest link in the chain. Kalos has the best character...

My unpopular opinion? I guess it's that I think Jessie, James and Meowth should either be more serious villains (like they were during first two Unova seasons) or been get rid. Seriously, most of the time, their antics are too predictable and that hurts the show IMO. That's my opinion which I am...

I find Jenny's Japanese name to be lost in translation. Her name, Junsaa, is almost the same as the lowest police rank in Japan Junsa. Which I find quite funny, seeing Jenny is often seen in charge of other Police Officers. Also, if I may distract to Czech dub, I have to mention how in seasons...

Oh, come on, of course it's Professor Oak, who is, somehow, spying on Ash >:) (just in case you don't know, Professor Oak and Narrator are both voiced by Unshou Ishizuka in Japanese, hence my wild theory {XD} )

I've heard similar reasoning about Digimon dub, yet no one ever explained why there's lots of foreign language dubs which kept Japanese soundtrack intact. And most of these dubs were actually cheaper (and some like Czech dubs of Tamers and Frontier a way too cheaper) than FoxKids/Jetix/Saban...

Contests, definitely Contests. I know some people hated it, but I really loved how they took small unimportant feature from games and made it something big and important. Too bad it was the only time they dared to do that.

Maybe writing what Anime she is from would help. She looks familiar, but I don't really know and the name Pam also didn't help, especially since I doubt that's her Japanese name, so writing her Japanese name would also help. It's hard to compare characters if you have no clue from where one of...

In my opinion, there were only two rivals who really got something out of Ash and those were Paul and Richie. Much of the reasoning for Paul were already wrote in this thread so I will not repeat them. As for Richie, they both learned a lot from each other and their friendly rivalry was the fuel...

I don't want to start argument over voices, but I have to say that 4Kids voices were far from perfect. Especially the two voices you seem to like. James was terrible, too feminine and gay stereotyped. Not to mention the acting wasn't too good either, which surprised me, since Eric Stuart did...

Sorry imtnt, but I have to disagree. I always hate it when they bring back Ash's old Pokémon for league and his current roster is neglected. That's why I hated Johto League and Sinnoh League (though here they did it to promote Johto Pokémon, but that made it even more stupid IMO) and if they...

I must admit I don't have much love for English Openings, most of them were your average cartoon songs and some even way bellow average (second, tenth and all dubbed Kalos Openings). However, there are three which stand for me. The first is classic, though thinking about it now, it was just...
