I used to like this anime...when i was 5. For like the first 20 episodes, it was interesting, and then i started noticing a pattern. Like how in the last 10 years that pokemon has been running all they do is just go and collect badges. I mean i know thats the point of the series, but can't they vary it, just a little? And the whole team rocket thing? Yeah I guess it was kinda funny like the first 2 or 3 times, then it just gets annoying: they come up with some scheme to steal Ash's pikachu, then ash uses some pokemon to get pikachu back and then they kick team rocket's ass-repeat. Its the samething over and over and over and over and over and over (see how annoying all these 'over''s are? thats what pokemon is like) and over again. Unless your 5 don't watch this anime, and for those who are well into their teen years and still watch this anime i have one thing to say to them: GET A LIFE (show less)
