    Well , The title makes it clear .
    BW Series tried to be Hilarious but it failed miserably and made the whole series annoying .
    It goes nowhere near the Original kento series !
    And DP series didn't had much Humor .
    The Character were too Formal .
    May be thats Why Some People hate DP Series.
    Here how I want the gag of Pokemon series to be handled -

    [PokeCommunity.com] How should the Humor of Pokemon series be handle ???


    Just look at the reaction !
    Its not like Ash Or Male cast has to say something perverted .
    I simply want Ash Or Male cast to say something funny which cause the female cast Or any other straight man to react this way !
    Off Course , Little Perversion wouldn't be bad unless it break its limit .
    After all , How many time did Nobita saw Shizuka naked in the Bathroom Or accidentally lift her skirt in Doreamon Or accidentally touch her butt ????

    You know , I read some Fan-made 4-koma comic about Pokemon Best Wishs which was hilarious !!!!
     
    Call me lame, but I think Best Wishes is very funny. IMO Kanto had the least amount of humor of all the series. Wobbuffet supplied 90% of my laughs during the next three regions, so it was unfortunate to see him disappear for BW, but many of the new Pokémon introduced during the BW series are pretty funny, like Oshawott and Stunfisk. I don't know what Doreamon is, but just because it has 'mon' at the end doesn't mean that Pokémon should follow its lead. Perversion and Pokémon's target audience do not mix well and is nowhere near necessary.
     
    imo the anemie does need more humor, i mean cilan's stunfisk was derpy( witch i like) but I MISS BROCK

    BROCK HAS A WOK
    HIS FRYING PAN IS A DRYING PAN

    Doreamon is popular kids Anime Aimed for even Younger Kids !
    And Kento had the most amount of REAL HUMOR !
    Specially the ''Snorlax Episode'' & The Primape episode.
    Oshawott is just plain annoying.
    Its just Writer stupid attempt to fill Brock's absence with a Pokemon.
    And Stankfish barely appear , Its like it doesn't even exist !

    Don't forget that Pokemon still is a kids show and is aimed for them. They do add some jokes that only teens and grown ups would understand from time to time. The show can't be filled with humor that the kids won't understand. And you're giving to much credit to the Kanto region seriers IMO. It's mainly nostalgia. If you watch it now you will notice that bad jokes, awkward situations and such.

    There still ten time better the BW series because Kento series was good enough to make a grown man laugh along with Kids !
    That one who has all the bad joke are BW series !
    Plus , Kids Anime like Shugo chara , Yakikate Japen & Sgt frog are also much more hilarious then Pokemon BW series .
    Only Kento series was as hilarious as those Anime !
    I believe Kids can understand those humor considering how advance they are now !
    After all , I want the reaction that girl had in the first Post when Izayoi said something perverted !!!
    It doesn't matter if Ash Or some other funny man say something perverted or not !
    As long as they say something funny that cause the other person react like that girl .
    You guys should really cheak ''Pokemon DPA'' because That Manga is filled with those kind of Gag despite being a Kids Manga .

    Well just because you didn't enjoy the sense of humor in BW doesn't mean it was bad and/or had none. The world if different, we are diffrent, everyone can have a different opinion. Majority or minority at least someone enjoyed the humor in BW.

    Just because Some Minority enjoyed BW series doesn't mean Majority of Fans have to suffer the nightmare called ''Worst Wish'' again !
    Specially Ash-fan ! Whole BW series were aiming to hurt them !

    What majority of Fan really wants is a combination of Kento series humor & DP Series Plot !
    They all want a Ash who competent & funny !!!!

    What ?
    You think BW funnier then Kento Series because Ash acted like a incompetent child , Iris make face saying ''What A Kid'' and Cilan dance while quoting some poetry !
    This were Boring !

    -Ash acting like a incompetent forgetful child pissed all the Ash-fan .

    -Iris's ''What a Kids'' annoyed People ! During every gag , Her reaction is the same ! she just make a face and quote ''What a Kid'' !!! No wonder so many fans were piss by that .
    At Least Misty was different ! Her reaction to every gag was different & random . Sometime she tease , sometime she shout's and sometime she physically assault . That why people enjoyed her .

    -And Cilan's Poetry & dancing only pleases girls ! I don't think he's that much enjoyable for Kids .

    Ya , In BW series Character made a lot of face !
    But there no point of it if they doesn't make the right face at the right time .
    Hilarious moment need proper reaction to proper sentence in proper moment .
    A show wouldn't be funny if character make random face's !
    For example -

    - In the ''Cross Dressing Episode '' Ash could have call Iris a Kids while she having a comical reaction to it . But Ash shut his month even though Iris really was acting more like a Kid during that episode .

    -In BW057 , This episode could have been more hilarious if everyone (accept Charles) treated Doctor Ferrara plan as a stupid plan ! because it was a stupid plan .
    But everyone treated it like a serious plan . That Doctor Ferrara really is going to take over unova by feeding frozen food to some Vanillish !
    Even an actual 10 year old kids knows its a stupid plan.

    There are a lot of funny point that BW series missed !
    I bet , Those idiot writer believe Kids will laugh when Ash will lose to some idiot who didn't had a 6th Pokemon ! This stupid sense humor ruined Ash !
    Ya DP series didn't had a Humor but atleast it had a plot . BW sacrifice plot for Humor yet it had the worst humor .
    XY series has to be better . It need to be hilarious without sacrificing Ash & the plot .
     
    It would be viewed in the western culture as "Politically Incorrect" to make the same jokes they did back in gen 1, but I want the series to be PUNTASTIC, relating back to Politcally incorrect, to make a mild sexist joke would be incorrect, Ash and Brock used to exclude Misty a few times for her being a... Girl. Now Ash was ten years old Misty would have been not to much older/younger so in reality yeah a 10 year old girl would look wierd hanging out with boys, not sure about now since I distinctly heard my little sister (10 years old) crying over here boyfriend.

    I simply want Pokemon XY series to be as funny as Pokemon DPA Or Sgt Frog without sacrificing Ash Or the Story Plot .
    Here A fan-fiction to show how the humor of Pokemon should be handle-

    A XY series fanfiction

    (Ash & Serena reach a Sudden city ! )

    Serena : So , This is where we suppose to meet the Photographer ! Okay, Ash , Let........

    (She see Ash & Pikachu are standing in a front of Ice Cream truck)

    Ash : 2 Ice Cream For me & Pikachu !

    Serena : Satoshi , What are you doing ?

    Ash : Buying Ice cream , You want One !

    Serena : No , A superior Evolved being like me doesn't need childish thing like that .

    Ash : Come on , Those are Delicious !

    (Satoshi show her his Ice cream)

    Serena : They does look testy..... Whatever ! We Suppose to collect important information about Kalo region's Legendary Pokemon so Prof Sycamore can finish his research and you're suppose to help me ! We also need a Photographer & thats why we came here , remember !

    Ash : Come on , A little sightseeing doesn't hurt !

    Serena : Off course , It does ! We are in a strange city and who knows what kind of freak might show up !

    Ash : What Kind Of Freak ?

    (Right that moment , Ash & Serena saw a guy running Toward them ! As he came close and Jump toward Serena)

    Rex : HELLOOOOOOOO

    (Before he reach the Serena , She punch him right at his face and send him flying unconscious)

    Serena : SEE , THIS IS THE KIND OF FREAK I'M TALKING ABOUT !

    Ash : You killed him !

    (Ash goes close to Rex and Pocked his unconscious body ! Then he look toward the Serena with Thumb up )

    Ash: Serena , I will dispose the body So you better run toward the next city as fast as you can !

    Serena: WHY ARE YOU TALKING LIKE A MURDER ACCOMPLISHES !

    (But Rex suddenly stand up and come close the Serena and grad her hand)

    Rex : To think such beautiful hand process such a force ! I'm even more proud to be working with you in your quest !

    Ash : Noway , He okay ?????

    Serena : Don't tell me , you're ........ !!!!!!

    Rex : Yep ,I'm Rex ! I'm the partner who was chosen by prof Sycamore to be your partner Or You can say Destiny brought us here together !

    (He gave Serena a flower)

    Serena : huh !!!

    Ash : Hey Pikachu , Doesn't this feel kinda familiar !!!

    Pikachu : Pikaaaaaa

    (A Chibi from of Brock appear in Ash & Pikachu's fantasy where he propose to a girl and get rejected )

    Rex : Here , A present to celebrate our partnership !

    Ash : WoW , Do you have a present for me !

    Rex : Get Lost ! My present are for Cute Girl , Those aren't for annoying pest !

    Ash : Ahhhhhhh , Thats not fair !

    Rex : Deal with it , You can't get everything just because you're the main character , Don't Forget it !

    Ash : What ?????

    (While the Serena look another way)

    Serena : My poor Amazing quest ! Why does a Superior intellectual Evolved human being like me has to travel with such Inferior unintelligent Under evolved Boys !
    I posted this at Mr Iwane blog and Bulbagarden !
    Hopefully people will like it here .

    ^ I agree, I am currently rewatching Pokemon and Jessie+Jammes say stuff like "But that was twice in one episode GARH!" and acknowledge the writers which IMO gives me a good laugh.
     
    Creating Humor is same as Cooking !
    You have to to put right amount of right stuff in order to make the dish tasty !
    However , Even a little mistake can ruin the whole dish !
    Same way ,
    First , Writer has to decide whar kind of Personality Ash will have !!!
    Then , They has to create a companion who personality will suit well with Ash in order to create humor .
    Like My XY fanfiction !
    As You see , Ash has more playful , carefree and Laid-back attitude in my fanfiction.
    So the right companion was a girl who's serious , strict , focused and tries to act like a grown up by denying her own childish side .
    And A Boy who's seem to envy Ash and has a unfriendly attitude toward him but crazy about the Crazy girl while Ash is completely oblivious about that's boy hate toward him and love toward the cast girl.
    Ya , Iris tried to do all that by calling Ash a Kid.
    However , Its was pointless conisdering Iris was herself more childish and she never tries to deny that Part of her !
    There no point of her calling Ash a Kids if she openly act childish and Wild herself .
     
    I thought the original series was the funniest. Has anyone noticed how Pikachu's personality has just become an extension of Ash's will? Yet in the original series, Pikachu would frequently act independently in such a way that would cause me to laugh. Some examples:

    1. In Clefairy and the Moon Stone, Pikachu plays a game of charades with Ash in order to try to break the language barrier. Nowadays, if Ash were to ever try to communicate with Pikachu, it would be limited to a "Right, Pikachu?" "Pika Pi!"

    2. While Ash & Co. were distracted, Togepi was playing around with sharp forks and knives. Pikachu saves Togepi just in time, only for it to find itself balancing the sharp utensils. When Ash & Co.'s gaze finally sees what's going on, they tell Pikachu to stop playing around, leaving only the audience to wonder.

    3. In the Horsea/Hotel episode, the episode ended with Pikachu sipping on an ice tea in a floating tube. The last time I can think of Pikachu doing something cute like this was when Ash scratched Pikachu's chin in the beginning of Black/White... and that's pretty much it.

    4. In the Cerulean Gym Battle, Ash tries to throw Pikachu straight into the arena, only for Pikachu to cling onto Ash's arm, shaking its head frantically.

    Also Meowth has become too Jessie-like, and less of the comic relief mascot that he was. Not to mention less cat-like:

    1. In the Gastly maiden episode, Meowth got defeated by a gastly turning into a rubber or yarn ball. Meowth completely forgot what was at hand, and began smiling and playing around.

    2. I can't recall the episode, but one of the earlier episodes had Meowth sent back at Team Rocket's balloon, only for him to cling onto the balloon for dear life.

    Ever since late Johto, Meowth has been taking himself too seriously. And as of Black/White, the entirety of Team Rocket.

    Overall, running gags like Jigglypuff and Brock are fine, but I don't think they're enough humor. I think having the mascot (or close-to-mascot) pokemon having their own personalities would bring appropriate humor for this show, as opposed to relying on innuendo.

    On that note, Piplup, Gible, and Oshawott are good examples of how mascot-like pokemon still have independent personalities and humor.

    After all , How many time did Nobita saw Shizuka naked in the Bathroom Or accidentally lift her skirt in Doreamon Or accidentally touch her butt ????

    I think this is very relevant:

    I hope The Anime doesn't try to make Ash Hilarious by making him forget about Basic knowledge about Pokemon & Battle !
    It was funny 15 year ago when Ash really was a rookie But the Ash from now & The Ash from back then are different .
    So , Ash won't be hilarious if the Anime treat like the Ash from 15 year ago .
    So My Suggestion -

    -1) Why don't The Anime fully use Ash's Oblivious personality by making him oblivious from simple stuff that has nothing to do with Pokemon.
    Example :
    Spoiler:


    -2) Give Ash poor Choice of Word which cause other people to misunderstand his Word Or get pissed at him !
    Example :
    Spoiler:


    -3) Ash wasn't very nice in AG But The Anime shown Ash's anger very seriously instate of showing it Comically . So I think The Anime should show Ash's anger comically
    Example :
    Spoiler:
