The animated series don't appear much where I live but If I ever get the chance yeah I'll be caught watching it. Heck I love the movies so much that I probably watched each of them 6 times. I heard they're gonna be more pokemon because japan loves it so much and actually more than 43% of america want more of them. That's probably the reason why you don't hear it much. But there are ALOT of people who do like them. It's hasn't gone downhill it's actually gone up since it's 10th anniversary celebration in New York city. They even have their own theme park!
Well, currently I'm playing through the original Pokemon Red on my old Game Boy Pocket, and I still love the game just as much as I did when I was in elementry school.
Like others, I believe it's peak was when the originals were released. However, Silver still hold the spot as my favorite Pokemon game of all time. Personally I'd love to see a Gold/Silver remake for the DS, as well as the release of the Original Red/Blue on the VC, but that probably won't happen for a while if it happens at all.
I personally think it hit its peak in 1998 with Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow. It's been downhill since then.Rocky32189
Same here; Yellow is the last one I played. People still buy the newest version when it comes out and seems to be happy with them, though, so I guess the franchise will never die.
... Or has it been dead since 2001 (Crystal Version.)dmil1991
everything after crystal (except fiery red and w/e the blue one was) i didn't like.
esp the 3d ones. is it cool to be dressed in a cape with face paint and white crazy hair? sounds like a freak to me. early pokemon had maturaty to it but sence that most of it has been lost to 4-9 year olds.
wish VC would release gameboy and gameboy color games, then i would buy them up to crystal.
In terms of games its not necessarily cool but there good games. They tv show sucks now. The dont even have the original voices. ash sounds like a punk now.

I agree 100%!
I still like how some of the voices are the same
I was watching it the other day and some of it was pretty bad. The intro was so cool that sometimes even guys already in high school sing it just out of nastalsia. but now the song is so bad.
I believe it lost it's spark when they introduced more than the 150 Pokemon. It just seemed they were making these Pokemon up from things they see at first sight. For example "Oh look, an acorn! We'll call the 237th Pokemon Acornamon!". It all just got too desperate for me.
I personally got bored of it some time ago when they released like the third gen of Pokemon. I played some of it's games like a year ago, but I don't care about the series since some years.
While the most recent Pokemon games are indeed fun games,I felt that Pokemon (the games) lost some of its "spirit" after Gold,Silver,and Crystal.I did enjoy Ruby,Fire Red,and such,and I poured hundreds of hours into them,but they just didn't capture that same sense of adventure as Silver or Gold,or the same sense of originality.They are still fun; I'm just burnt out with Pokemon now.
The first generation was the greatest. The second generation was pretty cool, since I got a chance to train Togepi and Marill. The third generation was just terrible. No offense, but Hoenn is 70% water and there are more worthless pokemon such as Plusle and Volbeat. The fourth generation redeemed itself and can still attract older fans as well as newcomers. This generation has starters that are almost as cool as the first generation.
Pokemon is still cool, if I use the older pokemon.

so true, if they remade those versions with better graphics and online play id probably still be playing pokemon today.
Fire Red/Leaf Green say hi and if you want online they play Diamond or Pearl, Shoddy Battle or Netbattle.
Oh and no Gold/Silver/Crystal was THE best generation easily but after that it went downhill.
They don't really just make them up you know, Im 16 and well to be honest I'm crazy for it you can tell from my sig.
Plus i really want to go to their theme park.

Your sixteen! and you enjoy pokemon!
Is that a problem? cause if it is you're really off track heck i've met a 25 year old that wants to do the same thing I want to do. Plus yeah I've been teased all over the school but not anymore since I clobbered this one kid bad.
