Power Rangers ranked quite high ratings wise way into it's seventh season when everyone in the mainstream had stopped watching, defending Pokemon's stature or recent achievments right now is pointless. If the mainstream don't care, it's dead in one aspect.

Wow... seems like kids are just gettin' stupider at this point.

Seriously... It's like one of those obnoxious things from the 90's that never went away... like Tellitubbies or Barney. It's like kids should be buying internet stock and listening to Spice Girls and the Macarana too.
I feel it's WAAAAY too soon for the 90's to come back style wise (as the 80's recently did). ANd the resurgence of unsellable Furbies proves it.

At this point, I just want the damn cartoon to end. I mean, I kinda liked the villains during the first season, but it all just seems like they have 2 different plots and want to see how much milage they can get out of it. I know a lot of competitive fighting Animes are repetitive... look at that Ultimate Muscle show from 2 years ago... they consitantly used the same storylines as they had back in 1980(not kidding... I looked it up... the manga is just so much better, anyway). But they at least are fun to watch (some of them, anyway) but Pokemon follows the plotlines of A) They discover a new pokemon or B) they get into a tournament battle. and halfway through the villains come up and botch an attempt to catch Pikarat. I'da given up around season 3. Boris and Natash or Wile e. Coyote they aint.

It's simply a horrid show. And as much as I poopooed it when it came out, I'd even say Digimon was better... and I think both are lame. I have nothing against the games, but the toy line sits on shelves here, and the cartoon seems to be a train with no one on it looping a small track throughout eternity.

Digimon is nothing like Pokemon, from A to B, just watch Digimon Tamers to see how dark and unrestrained it eventually got Lame videogame, lame merchandising....great anime for the most part, except 02, 04 would've been sublime had they not made the humans become the Digimon and toned the material down from Tamers.

Although the new series, Digimon Savers has'nt been impressing me that much.

I agree with Zarius about season 02. It got good all the way untill the end which sucked big time. I got pissed at the ending.

Pokemon used to be good. The one with Misty. Not the one with May. The one with May just a little too lame and now Pokemon looks like it's going down the drain right now. The best one, I believe, was the where Ash was going to the Indigo Plateu. Great character development back then.

The year when they stopped making Pokemon Me and bro will be 33 and 35. That's 8 years from now.
