^If you're going to make alts just to target somebody else with your negativity, I suggest you go ban yourself.

Over my dead body. I will not be silenced.

It's worth noting that I agree Ash should've won the Sinnoh League, after which the series would've rebooted in Unova. The Pokemon anime has suffered from a plague of sameness - but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. I still enjoyed my DP watchthrough a few years ago despite having grown up with the original series like yourself. It's a freaking kids' show. It's allowed to repeat itself for new generations.

What I disagree with is your "holier than thou" attitude where you think your opinion is the only one worth anything. Allow darkx to enjoy this instead of hounding him trying to shove your stance down his throat. He's allowed to enjoy it his way. Back off and let him.

P.S. I won't reply to anything else you say, so I suggest you back off of me, too.

The fact that the current direction of the Pokmon anime turns practically every episode into filler renders the anime unwatchable. I am not going to watch a show where every single episode will provide no impact on the protagonist and the endgame that he's never going to achieve. Making it a show for kids is not and should never be an excuse for abysmal writing and characterization. If you do not intend to keep your audience, then maybe you should give some closure to Ash and his partners and replace them with a new protagonist, instead of having him run around in circles and abandoning all other characters and Pokmon into the abyss. You admitted that Ash should win a league by now, so I say that maybe you should join me and do something about it since the showrunners would rather have all of us pass away first before making a cohesive story of Ash and the anime.

And if you don't want to, then I desire that you and darkx recognize the fundamentally glaring flaw of the Pokmon anime that results in it as one of the most broken television products ever made. You can enjoy a awful show as much as you like; I know I have. That's okay. But you cannot defend the show as anything of substantial quality if the anime staff is unwilling to work with the premise that was set up 22 years ago. If you recognize the Big Problem of the Pokmon anime as valid criticism, then I'll leave you alone. That's a promise.

No one has argued with your big problem. Every one agrees with that.

You can go now, your job is done.

Is this guy really still doing this?

Okay so I have another update and that is that...

I'm watching Indigo League right now.

Ashley Massaro was definitely not fired for being an escort.

She was released from her contract with WWE because she wanted to take time off to be with her sick kid and couldn't keep doing WWEs travel schedule.

PBandJ is Preston. Don't waste your time trying to be logical.

Neither the TC nor KujikawaRising have accepted the Big Problem yet.

Seems like this guy isn't gonna go away so...

-The premise of the show is that, in a land where even primary education is completely optional, 10-year-olds are allowed to travel around the world unsupervised and, with no prior experience or training, raise monsters, the smallest of which can cause significant bodily harm in the hands on an inexperienced or evil user; larger ones are capable of mass death and destruction.

Right there, the very premise of the show is so insanely absurd that I shouldn't have to point out anymore flaws but I will.

-The leader of a massive global terrorist organization is allowed to hold a position of significant power in an organization of essentially the national pastime.
-Adults can pressure children into battling or trading with little to no resistance except from a small and relatively unreliable police force that doesn't even seem to be concerned with such matters.
-Speaking of the police force, every police officer in the world is an identical woman named Jenny and they aren't all even related - some of them are "in-laws" meaning there are at least two unrelated families of dozens of identical Officer Jennys, not to mention guys that are willing to marry a woman identical to their sisters/cousins/mothers/etc.
-Everything I said above applies to the Nurse Joys.
-The laws of time simply don't work. Ash is still 10 years old despite not only it being impossible that all this crap happened in a single year but there have been explicit time lapse references. In an animated sitcom where characters can stay roughly the same age through five presidencies or 20 Christmases this is a little more acceptable but in a serialized show with actual arcs this is just wrong.

And just for good measure...

-Video phones were a widespread thing years before the technology was widely available in real life.

Point is it's just a dumb cartoon show to watch for entertainment; the flaws that I choose to or not to hold against any individual episode or the series as a whole are largely arbitrary.

Now go away.
