"Does anyone else kind of miss the awkwardness and edginess of the original Pokémon Anime?"

I’m talking basically the first season or two when hey still had no idea what the hell they were doing. You’d see so many goofs and mistakes like real world animals (Eg. Mongoose in that gastly episode), dubbing errors, saying blatantly incorrect Pokémon information, other references to the real world (like a reference to Christianity or to the Minnesota Vikings), etc. There were also things that weren’t necessarily wrong, just kind of awkward sounding like the iconic Brock lines about the drying pan and the jelly filled donuts. It’s entertaining to watch almost just for that, and is kind of charming in a certain way.Ash himself also kind of exemplifies this change. In the OG series he had no idea what he was doing and did a lot of dumb shit which somehow worked in his favour like using the sprinklers against Brock. Also he could be a straight up savage sometimes with his roasts, something he doesn’t do nearly as much now because I guess they need a good example for the kids lol. I will say I do prefer Ash to be actually competent, but I wish they kept some of his more edgy personality.Either way this isn’t meant to hate on the current anime, I just enjoy some of these things from the original series.Edit: Also Tb to Team Rocket using guns and James having boobs. They just don’t make them like they used to lmao, they actually have an image to maintain I guess. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3a8pchv
