This is my opionion, but I really wish they would stop making pokemon a baby show. It's an anime, not an American kids show. Animes are supposed to have subtitles if the watcher wants to watch in subs, but it's really difficult to find English subbed pokemon episodes. In addition, I feel like the anime series should have grown with us, not stayed exactly the same with everyone being perpetually 10 years old and female characters coming and going every year or so. Let's look at fairytail as an example to compare with pokemon.
Fairytail does have English subs and dubs.
Fairytail does not switch out main characters and never speaks of them again (eldolas characters do not count because they are technically the same main characters and are spoken about multiple times afterwards)
Fairytail grew with us. The relationships we see in fairytail grew from barely knowing each other or being friends to being best friends and or lovers (ships).
In my opinion, (yes I know fairytail hasn't been running as long as pokemon) pokemon should have had these characteristics just like fairyatil. Pokemon should have just ended when they wanted to start back up with May and Max, and instead of starting again with May and Max and Ash and Brock, they should have created a whole new series for pokemon with all new characters or followed the story of characters we met on the way instead of making Ash continue his journey with all new characters.
Anime was never meant to be longer than a few seasons if that.
Another option would be for Ash to continue his journey with Misty and Brock by sometimes running into new characters like May, Dawn, etc and helping those new characters temporarily on their way.
I stopped watching pokemon once they got rid of Misty for good. Why? Because it became meaningless if the anime was just going to throw away characters everytime you got attached to them.
I also seriously hate how Ash never seems to age. I think this is a major flaw in more than one anime and makes it almost pointless to have a story. Anime should be telling us a chronological story of some sort with allowance for flashbacks and future sights, because without the story, all we have is a baby show. And that--a baby show--is just what pokemon has become.
Seeing how long this comment section is, I'm assuming no one qill see this and probably try to blog about it :P
