If TPCI had just dubbed Team Rocket correctly the change would make sense and not seem so jarring.
So I guess my biggest complaint is how DP was dubbed.

If TPCI had just dubbed Team Rocket correctly the change would make sense and not seem so jarring.
So I guess my biggest complaint is how DP was dubbed.
My main problem is when Ash's Pokemon get into one of Team Rocket's classic cages. Why doesn't he just use the Pokeball to get them out. Even if it's Pikachu, I'm sure it won't mind being in a Pokeball just long enough to be called back out as soon as it's returned to the ball
TR's change. Its good that they made them serious and all but at the cost of their whole personalities? A bad move.
Pikachu's power issues is another thing that bugs me. I can understand Pikachu losing every now and then but losing to a rookie? Thats just lame.
I honestly don't think there's nearly as much character development as there could be.
There is nothing really and truly honestly bad about the series TBH. If the series was changed to every fan's enjoyment, would it really be that good of a series? I'm not questioning the OP's motives at all, but honestly speaking, if fans controlled the series, would it be as popular? Absolutely not from my standpoint, because although I've just joined, my many months of being a guest shows me, that especially on here, people don't agree all the time.
This is fine, if, and only if, as fans we had no say, which we thankfully don't. It is natural to be angry at the writers for them not to do certain things the fans want, but at times wouldn't you say as fans we become selfish and unappreciative? It seems like to me, that no one truly values the show, unless it goes according to plan. I must admit, I've had my moments as well, but the show is only enjoyable, when a fan says it is, which is sad.
Ash still being 10. I could handle anything else, if they just let him age.
They generally only funnel it to a select few characters.Quote:

I'm probably beating a dead horse but I'm part of the majority that think either Ash should have matured or been replaced by a new ten year old trainer. It's also kinda disturbing that they trust ten year old kids to travel this world to begin with. What's the life expectancy on Pokemon world I wonder...
I seriously hate the new team rocket. and I don't like that brock isn't returning. I mean, yeah, he's gone in the orange islands season, but not for long. and the fact that they don't Chansey in pokemon centers in the Unova region. I know it's like, new to that region, but come on! chansey is the nurse joy pokemon! and don't get me started on offer jenny's hair cut...
I'm sure it's not just this...Quote:

The new designs are because its like Ash is going to a new country and considering that he had to fly on a plane to get there, that's pretty much what I assume they were trying to get at. Think of Unova as Japan and America as the four previous regions, sure, there are tons of similarities between the two countries but at the same time, plenty of differences, considering the previous generation of Pokemon are extremely rare/scarce/hardly exist there, it makes sense that they would have the Pokemon of their home region sub in for the roles we'd usually see Chansey or Growlithe in and for Jenny's haircut, new set of cousins/sisters/whatever they are by relation, different hairstyle, different region I think its a nice look for them.Quote:

Same goes with some long stays in pokemon itself like Ash or TR doing well even after being part of this show for over 600+ episodes.
It doesnt really matter how long characters will stay as long show is being enjoyable with writing staff doing their job properly.
In my opinion it would be better if writers actually fixed their mistakes of misstreatment of Brocks character renewing him and starting to develop in some notable way instead of being left for most time on sidelines just to use easy way of ditching him out than doing something with his story due to their lazyness.Quote:

Biggest issue with Brock was his stupid goal, since they couldn't show him forcing two Pokemon to have sex. I have no idea what they were thinking when they put that in the anime.Quote:

Because breeding Pokemon isn't what his goal is. They're two completely different words in Japanese.Quote:
