I agree with everything Promethius has said.

Honestly, the fact that it's still about Ash after all this time is just wrong. And as he said, that damn Pikachu should have long since reached god-like status.

And yet in every region, it still somehow loses to every new challenge (or has an impossibly hard time with it).

No one cares that Brock keeps chasing women. No one cares that Ash is apparently the most all-around good guy you'll ever meet, who somehow triumphs each of his sgortcomings in every episode.

I might have kept watching regularly if they actually changed the characters to fit the region.

Digimon - It's a lot less popular. But it's way more respected. Why? Because it has frequently exibited mature themes, interesting characters, and with the exception of 01&02, had a new cast and premise with each season.

And each season actually had an end in sight. Does Pokemon? No. They have no planned ending. They're just going to keep running it until it dies.

I still think im gonna watch the first season all over again, it was pretty entertaining.
Even though Pikachu SHOULD have as much power as a legendary monster, then he would keep PWNING every pokemon that he comes in contact of. But to continue the series, he has to be at a certain level in which he can lose AND win.

The anime will continue as long as the games and merchandise keep selling out.
Pokemon is the king of merchandicing.
Lol, I can remember the days when there were absolutely no things pokemon, other than the anime, video games, and cards. (My mother once held me a pokemon-themed birthday party featuring Pikachu, Charmander, and Blastoise posters. All handmade. It was awesome!)

This is a spam, and that isn't a word I use often.

Or they could just get Ash another fricken starter pokemon.

Entertaining theory, but obviously not true as it's a light-hearted children's anime show. If it was true I would be very, very happy, as the whole series would make tons more sense.

huh... good point...

Texas Chicken Little · 05-11-2009, 02:28 PM

I agree that this is theory is not plausible. Basically, the people who have created the show (writers, producers, etc.) are trying to milk this series for all its worth and everything has gone downhill because they are running out of ideas and are basically rehashing old ideas.

Also, either the person who wrote this has a really deep mind, has too much time on their hands, or has no life.

Ranma Saotome · 05-12-2009, 01:41 AM

I don't know what to add to this but with it being two am right now for me I am sooo tired and all i have to say is that it makes sense but what would be cool is if there is a sort of wizard of Oz ending that their are people of his dream really there that his mother found to introduce to him so that he would have friends when he woke up from a coma and they look like the people from the most recent series and they introduce them selves but have different names for example Dawn would probably be named Alice and Brock would actually be named Ryan and the picachu would be a stuffed animal that his mother bought for him before he fell into the coma what if the coma started before what we saw acctually started and that he fell into a coma with out us knowing.

interesting conspiracy theory on pokemon here...and it all tes in so perfectly.

Who writes this stuff?

PrometheusMFD · 05-12-2009, 05:46 PM

A guy who does nothing but write fanfiction, play the games, watch the anime, and lives in his mother's basement.

The just bolded is why I stopped watching and the bold w/ underline is because it makes me love you <3.

I don't fully agree with it, but it makes sense. Since its a kids show I doubt.
