Hey I was just watching the first episode of Pokemon today! If anyone asks me, the first season is definitely the best one. Why do I say this? Because after that, the show just continues and renews the story over and over again. A lot of questions arise from the first season that never get answered. Just from watching the first episode, you wonder: "What kind of Pokemon did Gary get? Did Ash and Pikachu really see Ho-oh? Will Ash ever get Misty a new bike?".
I know now because of internet that Gary started with Squirtle. But a lot of other things keep us waiting for those meaningful episodes in later seasons. Though the show is just a big filler to complete the Pokemon experience, I'm probably too clingy to the old good stuff to see the potential of the new.
I had high hopes for Best Wishes and they had made big changes to make it seem more interesting. I felt like Pokemon somehow had got good again. I don't know if it is because of Iris or the writers just went back to how they had done things in the past but I just felt like the uniqueness of it disappeared in just a couple of episodes.
I have not seen all of the seasons so I can't say it's all bad in my point of view. I do hope that Pokemon would remember the older fans by making a more mature show. I think it has all the potential to entertain older fans if the writers etc. would just go the extra mile to make a show for young adults instead of kids starting their school.
