The title is oxymoronic, but I'll ignore the "favourite" part and focus on the series.
5) Dawn. Not for replacing May, but for giving me the impression that the writers are going to lock the female characters into an endless loop of contest girls. It would be nice if the next girl broke the cycle, but it would be tough for the writers.
I find the way she talks annoying. Always speaking slowly, like an ignorant American rich girl talking to an english speaking mexican. As if they had to force her to come in to work today.
BTW, it WILL happen. We will see all females do contests. & while I'm at it, what's Brock's profession? I hardly see him do any "breeder" stuff, and no, it isn't a breeding reference to the game.
4) May. They build up her character across four seasons, and then in the end they drop her like a rock, almost never to be heard from again. Her departure would not be so anticlimactic if they actually gave her sufficient coverage later. Can anyone say Inuyasha Syndrome (Naruto the Abridged Series reference)?
BE CAREFUL! EPISODE SPOILERS, FOR YOU HARDCOAR KIDS!
3) Brock staying for D/P. Oddly enough I do not feel negative emotions towards Dawn for "replacing" May, and instead channel it towards Brock because they got rid of May, a central character in Advanced, yet they keep Brock, who is practically deadweight now.
Ah, I disagree, but only because I can't get enough girl flirting. You'd think after ten years, that would get old, but not for me, heh. Still, he is the voice of reason, I think the plot of the show would fall even more than it already has.
2) Giovanni. He is implied to be powerful an influence in the Pokemon world, yet after Kanto he is shafted. The fact Team Rocket still exists makes this even more disappointing, although there is at least a chance his plotline might find resolution. In fact this would be the biggest disappointment if it weren't for:
Exactly. Aside from the occasional crappy Team Rocket reference (by occasioal, I mean all to dang often), I never seen him in battle. Possibly because the show became so light hearted.
1) Misty. Her departure had suddenly transformed her into a Messiah among the fanbase who prophesize her "second coming" to save Pokemon from its decline in quality (which is illusory, but that's a different story). Of course, if she stayed on the show, she would become another Brock, so her departure was good for her character, but now us sane Pokemon fans are forced to put up with Misty fanatics who put her on the same level as Jesus or Muhammed. Misty is like Ron Paul: overrated and overhyped.
NUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! MEISTY IS LIEK, TEH KOOLEST! U R DUM! MEISTY & ASH 4EVAH! MEISTY VS MAY VS DAWN 4 ASH!!!!!
I swear, those frack'n fans are annoying.
I won't counter post you, that's rude, but a few things I really agree with, and disagree with.
My top five? Well...
5.Ash never beating the Poke league. Srsly. 14 freakin' seasons. 10 years. I understand why, of course. He needs room for improvement. It would just about end if he were the best. But still, get in second place or something >=[
4.The rapid change of voices, and the utter lack of real dialouge. I don't maind the first, but combined with the lack of real dialouge, I can't stand it. Sure, the voices are bad, but when you hear im say stull like "Ok, Hunter J! I'm putting an end to all your bad stuff!", makes me wanna punch him in the throat.
3.Every attack exploding every time. Usually, in black tarry explosions. If a flamethrower collides with a Thunderbolt, ok, fine. But when Razor Leaf makes smoke, there's a problem. While I'm on it...
2.EVERY SINGLE MOVE GLOWING. Sure, the occasional Iron Tail, Mega Punch, Steel Wing glowing is cool, but when Peck glows, Karate/Cross Chop glows, hell, even POUND glows (I mean, why?), it's taking it too far. Wing Attack glows. What's the difference between that & Steel Wing?
1.Last, but not least, it's Team Rocket, or te new generation. I don't mind their motto, but tey've been following Ash for years, & it's gotten old a long time ago. Honestly, it would not be so bad if they didn't appear EVERY EPISODE with some half assed plot. The sligtest attack sends them blasting off, and it's like, WTF, Pikachu just used Thunderbolt on Dawn's Piplup, & it was super effective! Why did Team Rocket blast off? Meowth joining in on mottos wouldn't be so bad, if he didn't sound like an offensivley poor imitation of a Brooklyn truck driver. Every time he opens up his greasy little mouth, a kitten dies.
Off the list, but still very annoying, is how often types are ignored. Seriously, Pikachu, stop aiming for the horn. It only works once.
