Anime Currently Watching Shugo Chara, Rozen Maiden Manga Currently Reading Shugo Chara	Anime: Pokemon Genre: Fantasy~Magic~Supernatural Creator: Satoshi Tajiri Company: 4Kids dubbed it for a while,now the company who dubs it in English is called Goldstar Productions Plot: 25/25 The plot revolves around a 10 year old boy named Ash Ketchum. The very first episode of it in English had Ash in a dream, having a Pokemon battle. And then he was woke up by his mom [if I remember correctly] He got woke up, put his clothes on and headed down to Professor Oak's lab to pick up his first Pokemon. This is in the Kanto region the original season. He goes to the lab and then meets Prof. Oak. Who has a son named Gary Oak, who also is picking up a starter Pokemon. [now I forgot the first episode I'm adding what I remember] Then Ash enters the lab and tells Prof. Oak he's here to pick up his first Pokemon abd begin his journey as a trainer. Sadly none of the starter Pokemon of Kanto were in because trainers have already picked them up. Squirtile, Bulbasaur, Charmander. But then Prof. Oak tells Ash that there's a Pokemon called Pikachu he can use. Oak explains that this Pokemon is not used to trainers. Ash, just takes Pikachu anyway. And then they begin their adventure. Also, while Ash is on his journey he meets a girl named Misty and a pervert named Brock, who is a gym leader or was. That's pretty much the whole plot. D; IMO, I just loved the first season. I'll explain why later.. Artwork: 10/15 The creator really made the characters eyes look big eyed like in any other anime. I disliked this factor of Pokemon, but the artwork was amazing. I would also like to say that some of the Pokemon were well drawn and so were the buildings. Also, I liked how in every other city or town Ash visited the gyms looked different, the creator didn't use the same artwork for every Pokemon season. But for alot he did. Originality: 25/25 Well, this is about as original as this genre goes. A 10 year old boy traveling on his own to become a Pokemon master. And travels with a girl and a perverted guy, who couldn't call this anime unoriginal? The anime also was original of it's kind because the creator used animals and made them creatures in the anime called Pokemon. No other anime offers this. Which is different for it's series. Length & Music: 5/10 GOD, the length, I hated it. Because this anime was gonna go on and on and on. I hated that so much. Ash just keeps finding more damn regions.. Damn him.. The Music; didn't really think it suited the anime. Maybe in the movies. the background music was okay, because the movies were just fillers anyway. Also, there's only one good sing from the first season that I thought suited a character. OUR BUDDY BROCK!! I liked the Pokemon first movie soundtrack. because it actually had REAL artists on it. M2M and some other people. First Impression and Conclusion: 5/10 A newcomer to this series might like it for a bit, but then grow tired of it. Because this anime's gonna go on and on and on. A newcomer will realize that. Overall, I say this anime isn't the best for newcomers who wanna watch the series that airs on CN, The Sinnoh region. Watch the Kanto season. D; Also, this anime kicks a$$ in Japanese. Overall Feel: 10/15 The feel for this anime, just thought the feeling to me was that it's gotten too long over the course of the years and is now growing older and older as we speak. As I said, a newcomer wouldn't watch this anime for long, you might lose interest fast or slowly depending on if you like this genre of anime. TOTAL:80

It's simply a person's opinion on the said anime series, like it or not, everyone doesn't have the same opinion as others. No need to bash a series that was simply classical and was original for it's genre.
