Apparently... I guess I haven't strayed outside of the Trade Center much since I've arrived here...
I love watching the old episodes, Ash just seems more real. I just wish he would stop giving away all his pokemon... I miss Butterfree, Primape, Krabby, Squirtle, bulbasuar, Charizard, Pidgeot (well i miss pidgeotto more)... And pikachu's fat face was way better than how he his now... Those original episodes were awesome.
I was able to like both Digimon and Pokemon. Digimon didn't catch on as much though... I liked the storyline and the love triangle with Tai/Sora/Matt, and then TK and Kari in the second season. I also liked the 3rd season, but not as much as the original. Were pokemon eventually used the same formula every episode without much plot advancement, digimon tended to advance the plot every episode. I'm not saying one or the other is better, i just like them both. But one thing is for sure, it's not a crude copy.
And yet again I'm behind in the chit-chat...
