First 49 Episodes  10/10

BEST SHOW EVARRR!!!!!!!!! it had everything! Ash not knowing what he is doing and misty and brock making fun of him for it, Brock's obsession with women, Jesse and James failing all the time, Jesse's vanity, Gary and Ash's rivilry, Meowth's funny comments, 4th wall breaking, and innuendo i didn't get until i was older...it was AWESOME!!!!!

Episodes 50-82 9.8/10

Still the BEST SHOW EVAR!!!!!! but the whole togepi part was really stupid...i hated he/she...it added an element of cuteness that didn't need to be there..thats what pikachu is for. And dexter got a new voice which kinda sucked..but still the best show EVARR!!!!!!

Episodes 83-118 9/10

It was no longer in the kanto region so i really couldn't identify with the areas or gym fights...also brock left...WTF!!!!!!!!! i loved how brock always went crazy over women and they took that part out!!! WTF!!! and nobobdy likes tracy...jeez!

Episodes 118-276 8.5/10

Brock came back which was good...but still..the show seemed a little different..Ash's voice seemed kinda different and i didn't find the plots as interesting...Also it took them WAYYYY TOOO LONGGGGG to get through the Jhoto Region. it took them 158 episodes to get through the Jhoto region...WTF!!!!! And i know everyone else complains about this but, i don't care what you say the first 151 pokemon are the best and the others are "okay". Some Jhoto pokemon are cool but they just aren't as super awesome as the first 151.

Episodes 276-422 7.5/10

ASH CHANGED CLOTHES!!!!! OMG!!! NOTHING HAS BUGGED ME MORE THAN THAT....GRRRR!!!!!! RABBBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!!!...sorry..just letting off a little steam...Misty left and May and Max joined (may was okay but max was annoying, and i miss misty) 4 Protaginists? too many...you suck max...also Ash seemed to know what he was doing during the Hoenn and Battle Frontier season (so a main element of the original show was lost) i liked Ash being an Idiot..it made me laugh

Episodes 422-Current 5/10

new voices...this actually bugged me more than Ash's outfit changing..this is when i stopped watching...also the show seemed to get a lot more kiddy like..it seemed like it should've been playing on Nick Jr. not Cartoon Network

so yeah...what do you think? (Sorry if there is tons of typos)

EDIT: i still liked the original show, i have the DVD Box Sets and i love them, Me Growing up has nothing to do with it

Thats what happens when you milk something too much..

indeed

wow I'm not the only one to think this. The show got bad after the kanto region.It turned from funny to just make Ash get the 8 badges and move on. It would have been better to just follow the game's story and have somone new everytime

Maybe you get older, and realize how kiddy the show was from the beginning.

I never like Pokemon, I think I was too old to get the Idea My kid brother liked it a lot, but I really like Charizard!!!!!!!!

I'm 17 and i have the Box sets of the First 72 episodes..i still like the original..me growing up has nothing to do with it..i'm waching the originals in production order right now and i love them...i watch the newer ones and cringe

It's because it's a fucking kiddy cartoon, and you're growing up.
Sorry to be so blunt, but there you go.

the show wasn't kiddy at the beginning it was awesome and still is

My main problem with the anime is the it was 90% filler. Other than that, I still watch on occasion.

 Watch 'Ninja Scroll'.  Then tell me if Pokemon is kiddy.

You seem to be a bit obsessed, ya know?
