My point was, that at this point, after going through what, like 7+ arcs where a normal person would have become skilled enough to simply smash through most regional gym leaders at the flick of a wrist, everytime he goes to a different region, people act as if he's some unknown guy in the world.
While normally I do not like to criticize a series that I would not pick up, the Pokemon anime is simply a selling tool now sadly. I just wish the anime would change focus on a different character. :( I try to watch the movies since those are typically better made at times. But alas I've lost interest in it now.
Anyways we have differing opinions, and I don't want negative feelings over something like this so I'll just go in some corner and wallow in my imaginative musings.
