I remember the old generation Scooby-Doo. The van was plain white with the sign "THE MYSTERY MACHINE" on the upper rear part of each side, and the only dog was Scooby himself, though another dog (I cannot remember his name alas) would be brought in for a few guest appearances later in the cartoon's run. No romances between the leads.

All the Scooby and Scrappy shows? The first three films? In the first series I'd agree with you on that, seemed to have the perfect balance of the characters while making you know who the star was. New viewers must be confused thinking Fred's the main character and that Scooby's just a mascot, which is nuts! Not that I hate Fred like I used to, back in th older shows I hated that guy cuz of how bossy he was to the guy's, now I like him but doesn't mean, oh you get what I mean right?

Mostly I can't stand how much the romance has been done as of late. I prefer the 90s films, Zombie Islands / Witch's Ghost films, they knew how to work with it while not leaving the other characters behind
Ive seen a handful of the spin-offs or whatever you wanna call them. 13 Ghosts, Scooby and Scrappy, Movies (those hour long ones) The focus seems a little more Scooby oriented because its more comedic or the human characters are shifted for story.

I don't think new viewers would think Fred is the main character nowadays. Like I said, I think they all get a balanced amount of time. Its not like the stories follow Fred everywhere. They all get their respective scenes in a given film...Fred's the trap guy whos kind of a kid at heart, Daphne is the girly one, Velma is the nerd, Scooby and Shaggy eat alot and get caught up in ghost/villain chases.

There is the romance, that up til now was only suggested (who knows how much they'll pour it on), but at least it makes sense for Fred and Daphne. Velma and Shaggy in Mystery Inc. seemed forced to me.

Swat Kats was great. Such cool villains and overall characters.

Pokemon started out much better than it is now.

As far as I'm concerned, Pokemon ended when Ash won the orange islands, I also count the Mewtwo strikes back trailer with Misty and her daughter as the canonical ending.

Speaking of Swat Kats, can you believe that the creators of the show went from that to this ?

If you have a sick stomach, this might be unsettling.

I'm having a tough time trying to think of animated shows I disliked as a child...but maybe I could say GI Joe. Not sure if I'd consider it the worst though. It just didn't appeal to me.

What are you even talking about? Not even Bulbapedia says anything about any daughter. Misty is like ****ing 12, max. I don't care if you're a Pokéshipper, I got nothing against the ship, but don't be delusional.

He's talking about the first Japanese trailer for the movie:



Apparently, Mewtwo Strikes Back was suppose to be a finale for the series. But that was before it was realized how popular it would become.

Why was this never on any article or coverage I've ever seen about the movie? Either way, I prefer the later Pokémon movies and I REALLY prefer Mewtwo Returns so I don't care.
