This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'... and Gon's Balls will whisper 'First... comes... rock!' Hah! Made you stare at Naruto's Marshmallow! Pushing the logo off-center to drive TheOcean insane.

Talking Pokémon: Best Wishes
Anyone watching the new series?

I figured I could create a new thread since the old one was for over a year old and pretty much dead and I didn't wanna bump it. So yeah, the new series is pretty great. Jessie and James have become serious and have started working for Giovanni personally so they're no longer after Pikachu in every single episode.

Brock finally left and we have Ash traveling with two brand new characters from the BW games: Iris (one of the 8th leaders in BW and Cilan, one of the first gym leaders in BW). The series plot kicked off with a team rivalry between Team Plasma and Team Rocket but the two-parter featuring the showdown between Team Plasma and Team Rocket in Castelia was delayed due the Sendai earthquake in Japan.

I'm greatly enjoying the series at the moment, tbh. :D

I like the new series. Ash's Snivy is awesome. The one episode with it and Emolga was priceless.

Though I do like it that Jesse and James are being serious now, I kinda miss the blasting off again.

From the few parts of episodes I've seen, it's far better than D/P was.

Still, it's still Ash so I have a hard time enjoying it.

They're probably afraid of introducing a new protagonist, I mean, kids have gotten used to Ash and Pikachu so - they're most likely afraid of closing Ash's story. :/

I always find it interesting when people pointlessly put those little icons for topic threads. Not saying I dislike it, but it always...grabs my attention...which may be what you guys want.

I wouldn't mind it so much with Ash if he would....be successful or at least awesome in some way shape or form.

I wouldn't mind if the anime followed the primary manga rather than coming up with its own tired repetitive junk.

He DID beat two legendaries in the semi-finals of Sinnoh league. xD

Primary manga? There are many Pokémon mangas, you're gonna have to be more precise.

Pokedex: If you look Scraggy in the eyes, it will headbutt you.
Ash: I shall look it in the eyes.
Scraggy: *headbutt*

Especially when TPCi took over and replaced all the main cast with voice actors who frankly have never fit the roles. Yes, 4Kids was better IMHO.

I can't stand TPCi dub (it still sucks in BW), so I just watch Best Wishes! (subbed) permanently from now one. It's alright as a series, but yet again tireless rehashing and Ash's regression does not help matters for the BW anime. The Pokemon anime itself is way better than Gen IV/DP IMO, but I prefer Gen I-III (before Battle Frontier for Gen III, obviously). I hope Isshu/Unova is the end of this anime. It's gone on way too long, the voice acting in the dub is now awful, it's enough. The Pokemon are the only redeeming factors and I like all of them. The anime itself has gone on WAY too long.
