i figured as much are any of the battl;es as good as the one with lance in know this is hard to answer but try plz

Yes. lots of them have interesting twists.

I am a friggin pokemaniac and play the games competitively.

But I really grew out of the anime halfway through the Sinnoh saga. Its probably more to do with the fact that the anime's target audience is 10 year olds and I'm 20 but what the heck I still watch it from time to time just for the nostalgia (mainly the league/gym battles cuz we all know they are the shiz).

And I have to say I was quite impressed with Ash vs Paul in the Sinnoh league. But what annoyed me was the guy after (can't remember his English name but I think he's Takuto in Jap), so friggin OP man. Come on now first he whooped out a Darkrai to wipe out Ash's 5 pokemon and then a Latios. What were the writers thinking, they should have atleast made Ash battle the guy in the finals and have his candy ass handed to him. I just wish he would win a darn league already, so that my childhood would be complete.

This.

Misty is the best female character in pokemon (Watched from beggining to Jhoto region)

Yeah more than enough reasons to not watch it ever again.
Stopped at episode 200 and something. So much repetitiveness...

Brock's closed eyes were legendary!

He must have been high 24/7. 

Y U SO RACIST?

I have also watched all the episodes of this show and now going to watch s16e15 of this show. 

Yeah I think watched about every episode until the end of Sinnoh league (missed some of the fillery episodes in DP). Anyway, I've been watching BW on and off ever since, only watching the major battles.

I have to say I really enjoyed the entire Sinnoh league. All the characters were good, Dawn was an AWESOME female character (as good as May and WAY better than the tsundere Misty) and in general Sinnoh was a region with great mysteries. I also loved the fact that most of Ash's pokemon actually evolved. Infernape has to be one of my all time favourite pokemon from Ash's team besides Charizard. The whole backstory with Chimchar really made me care for him as a pokemon and absolutely go ballistic crazy when Infernape finally beat Electivire. I think I might have even shed a few manly tears. Plus Darkrai at the end was so broken but still a nice end to a really good league.

Compared to Sinnoh league, Unova league sucked so much balls it wasn't even funny. Ash took a HUGE step back in terms of being a trainer and in general Unova league didn't even have the hype and feel of a league at the end of a season.
