Well, just recently I've had a sudden renewed interest in the Pokemon franchise after purchasing Platinum. I wanted to start watching the anime too (the new episodes) but I thought it might be more fun to watch the series from beginning to end (or at the least the current season). I'm excited to watch how the show evolves over the many seasons, like new characters, new pokemon, the changes visually due to technology, and all the good stuff.
Now, when I was a kid I remember watching a lot of the kanto series, maybe only one or two from OI, a Johto ep every now and again, AG once in a while, none from the BF series, and certainly none from the new DP series. So I guess this isn't exactly a rewatch since I haven't seen a lot of these episodes... but I like to of it as going back and watching the eps I missed.
I binged for a few days, stopped, watched some more, and now the binging is returning. Though I'm only at ep. 54 of the indigo league (I'm not sure if that's a lot for just a couple weeks, but I'll try to pick up the pace), I feel like I've come too far to stop now.
Here's some things I noticed and just felt the need to share:
- First of all, ever since Ash took down Koga... I feel like the twerps are just going nowhere. But I have noticed the announcer suddenly reminding us about Blaine at the beginning of the past few episodes, so I hope it's coming up.
- Did anyone else think Togepi's egg was just horribly plugged in. I mean, Ash just suddenly rolls over top of an egg at the end of the prehistoric pokemon ep... and he's in the middle of some canyon. That was just terribly done... but kinda hilarious, I guess.
- The fillers havent been doing so well for me. I mean, the St. Anne arc (boat sinks, getting off the boat, giant pokemon island) was just awesome to me. Easily my favorite fillers. But now I have one about it Princess day... and the VERY NEXT ep was about it being Kid's day. Ugh... and the one where Ash catches Muk was byfar my least favorite ep. I mean there are still some good ones (I enjoyed the Prehistoric Pokemon one, despite the random togepi egg plug at the end) but honestly, I just really want them to get to Cinnabar Island. I'm probably just used to the incredibly fast pacing, what with Ash getting 6 badges in just 32 ep. I think the last one I watched was about Bulbasaur going to evolve but it refused too (much to my dismay...) and then learned Solar Power. Awesome move, Venusaur was cool, but I think I was just dissapointed Bulby didn't evolve. :-/
- I'm starting to become desperate for something from TR that doesn't involve Jesse, James, and Meowth. I need me some Giovanni I guess hehe.
Well, any thoughts on the rewatch? Maybe some hope for future eps... because honestly it's getting bleak right now heh. I promise to stick with it though
