You grew up. You now realize the show sucks ass.

I recently tried watching the Luxray Episode since I hadn't seen the show in years, I liked Luxray and I wanted to get back in to the show. After about 10 mins, I stopped. It was just too painful.

Actually Ash has vastly improved in the anime as where character development has gone. With each League he's been to, he's gotten farther each time. Plus he has two fully evolved starters on his team, Infernape and Torterra (he's getting that one quite soon and just got Infernape): http://www.serebii.net/anime/characters/ash.shtml He also has a Gible that knows the fabled Draco Meteor...but you know what Gible fully evolves into, right? Plus the anime has gotten more in touch with the video games, as they talk a lot more about each Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses, plus the anime also uses computerized graphics for a lot of their special effects. So, whomever was saying that the anime is poorly produced, you might want to watch more recent episodes before you eat crow And the Pokemon TV show is the most watched show on Cartoon Network.

Especially the fight with Ash against Paul...I learned some new strategies to use on my games from that episode

They really suck now, no lie, I can sit and watch the johto or kanto pokemon episodes constantly, but the new ones are horrid

I used to watch Pokemon on Saturday mornings on WBKids.

Like everyone else said, you grew up. It happened with Yugioh, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Power Rangers, Dexter's Laboratory, Rocket Power, Dragonball Z, and Spongebob.

my opinion of pokemon : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajG__M5Alr0 ....They also cut out the best part where Squirtle says "For Gods sake kids go read a book or something" ;P

Woah!!

Power Rangers was good at some point? 

I still love these! >:[

Although, Spongebob did get worse...

when i was 5 i was obsessed with Power Rangers

5? Well that's ok.

I first saw it when I was 10 or 11 and my word... I couldn't believe how cheesy and fake the fighting seemed.
