Worst...Synopsis...Ever

I think it's perfectally fine.
 
LOL XD

I think the synopsis on Virigin Media is "The popular Pokemon animation" o.O It gives alrightish synopsises of other stuff...
 
Yeah, it's fine. You just have to deal with it; I've seen those kind of synopsises all the time on DirecTV.
I'm used to it; so its fine.
 
Isn't that basically what happens though?
 
You know, children, back in the day, when I was much more innocent and happy than I am now, I was asked to describe hurling to an American. Never heard of the sport? It's an Irish sport and probably the most skillful sport in the world. Anyways, after a brief period of silence in which I decided how I would explain the sport as easily as possible to the poor, unknowing man, I spoke and explained that the player was armed with a hurl, which was a piece of wood about the same shape as an executioner's axe, and it served practically the same purpose.

Yes, it was a horrible way to tell someone what the game of hurling was, but it was right in a blunt manner and it was quite funny as well, similar to the review machomuu here has posted. I'm looking from that prospective and I have to admit that the synopsis isn't too bad, because in the end, you want the fastest and easiest explanation to understand, and this is what the folks from Verizon have provided us with.
 
The synopsis could have said "A young man battles his way through tornaments and competitions with his Pocket Monsters". The first synopsis makes Ash sound like he's a dog trainer for Crufts or something. Haha
 
I've seen that description before.. >_>
The only word that bothered me was 'pets'.

But it still works.

Doesn't do the series justice though, in the way of making it seem interesting, to attract to new fans.
 
I guess it's a good thing many people change the channel without looking at the synopsis, or that there isn't anyone who doesn't know what pokemon is XD
 
Oh, call complaints to the deities of the universe!!!
Just kidding, but yes that's just about the worst synopsis ever!

I couldn't agree more.

By the way I like cheeseburgers.

............... Just kidding, I actually don't.
