Face it -- Pokémon is old-school. And that is why it will always have a cult following; but it won't really attract too many new fans.

It attracts new fans. It's just... all those fans are like 6 years old so they don't pay any mind to special events because they never hear about them. >>;

I've asked a lot of people and they all say Pokemon was good. Until they all get to my age and we all start getting into sports and girls and the like. xD

There are a couple of us in my old school that still liked Pokemon...too bad I won't ever see them again. xD

It wasn't that Pokémon changed -- it's ever-unchanging, except the VAs and stuff -- but that your friends outgrew it.

Whatever. I'll be forty and still here, whining about the 4084th Pokémon.

Also, Erica: I know it attracts new fans, but I don't count six-year-olds. I was six when I started, after all.

yeah... Even though its finally getting a bit more realistic, and more suitable for older people then before (well, i see that diamond pearl is more suited for older people, then kanto was) like, their pokemon battles are also having alot of logic involved, and a lot of practicing and thinking (like dawn's spin in the air to avoid attacks, which ash coped of her)

its just little things that i seem to notice xD

and yeah... i hate it how Nintendo see australia as a no-events land... esp since its most 10 year olds that would go there :(

Well, the show kinda sucks, because it's so formulaic. It doesn't really entertain me now I'm older and don't watch TV. ^^

I'm buying the boxsets as they come out for the nostalgia, but I can't bring myself to watch Pokémon on TV anymore. It doesn't capture my interest very well. It's so... repetitive. D: I heard it got better with D/P though.

yeah.. D/P seems to be trying to get its old fans back... while trying to teach kids about how to be smart with pokemon o.O

but i think the number of fans its got rite now... is still a fair amount after the electric porygon thing that cause mass seizures around japan.

Ya, the fillers are a lot better now, but the VAs are getting worse.
And what's up with that disturbing opening??

Shouldn't the dubbed version of Movie 10 should be out by now? Does it usually take them a lot of time to dub the movies?

The D/P theme song is so awesome that I feel unworthy when I hear it.

I think that's probably the problem, people want something new and original.

Movie 10 should be a great sucess, but to the unexpected crowd.
It's most likely that older children (Preferably teens) will want to watch the movie over and above the supposed "6 year olds"

Why? that answer is simple, Teenagers have been following the plot from Kanto through to Sinnoh, so it means that they'd understand it more throughfully.

While as younger veiwers might not even know what the charactors ment, or there standing amoung us.

I hope I explained it well.

They should've ditched Team Rocket back in Kanto when Giovanni got slaughtered by Ash.
Instead of having Team Rocket, maybe introduce Gary back into the series? and not as a Scientest, as a rival.

no, even though team rocket is boring and repetive, it helps the little kids have their moments.
If anything, gary should stay a scientist, but in a new series, he should be the main professor (instead of oak, rowan, elm, birch), well, he will be OAK, but he will be the G. Oak xD

Team rocket should give ash more challlenges though... they're too easy... and JMJ should get a promo for giving in 'caught' pokemon to Giovanni... i mean.. he wouldnt know if they caught it or not

Man, I don't know what you guys are talking about, xD. I stopped watching Pokemon after a quarter of the way through Hoenn, so I must be missing heaps of details. xD

Team Rocket had their moments...adding someone new would be...un-traditional? xD

I really need to keep with with Pokemon...
