Anime was sanitized to hell and back. Johto began the process, Hoenn nearly completed it, and Sinnoh took any remaining charm and erased it

Shudo doing a passion project vs corporate slop made to rake in cash from children and autists with no standards.

At some point they're gonna retcon the baby kangaskhan as "The small one resides in the big one's pouch, acting like its child. Researchers cannot verify their actual relationship, however."

DP Ash was still Ash, BW and onwards was the soulless battle faggot Ash
>>
>>59286141
>DP Ash was still Ash
Nope, fuck off. He already lacked any personality by then. Just because you grew up with this series doesn't mean you get to pretend it's part of the "classic era"
>>
>>59285956
DP was all about battles though. It lost most of the charm of the early anime, true, but honestly DP was the one time both characters and pokemon developments felt interesting to follow.
Than it came BW, removed that one good thing about DP, rebooted Ash and made a souless slop version of the first season.
Then XY that was just a worse DP.
And then SM when it was a different show altogether.

Rewatching OS Anipoke and Ash felt a lot more human in those episodes. He could fawn over girls, he could be a bit of a jerk...overall quite believable as a "asshole who still had a heart when push comes to shove" kind of ten year old.

The should have just given Miltank a pre-evo and had it split between Miltank and Tauros
I don't know why that hasn't happened yet

They made Ash too much into a "Goku if he was a trainer".

>200 episodes
Indigo League had the fastest pacing and was only 81 episodes. Togepi's appearance in Indigo League didn't take space as it did later on and only debuted to promote Gen II.

You wouldn't be saying this if you weren't a race traitor who wants to fuck a brown loli voiced by Aoi Yuuki

OS Ash wasn't written as a character who would be around for over 20 years, with a character arc and story that had a general beginning and end point realized.
DP Ash was written as a character who was going to last indefinitely, a defined beginning with an impossible ending, just like how Detective Conan can never.defeat the Black Organization that turned him into a child and tried to kill him.

It's localization censorship, not a retcon. The Japanese entry was never changed and always said 子供が 生まれたときに

I just threw it in there because you retards can't read nip. The translation it provided is accurate.

Only Indigo League and Orange Islands is a "real" anime.

After that, Jewtendo knew the gold mine they had, so they sanded off all the edge until it was soulless and Westernized enough to air in a literal preschool

No more sex innuendos. No more guns. No more large breasted women like Lorelei. No more funny jokes like James with implants or Jynx kissing people witbout consent. No more SOVL

Pokemon anime is just a vehicle to shill their own merchandise now. Safe and corporate to appease the shareholders. Like others have said, Ash has long since become a "generic hero" caricature

Imagine watching that shit after Orange Islands lol

>>59286713
you might benefit from consulting the big scary ouroboros robot to help you learn to spell words, even the ones you dont understand

Honestly most of that was sandpapered off as early as the post porygon episode.
