Same with the anime, watched like the first 4 or 5 seasons as a kid and loved it. Then realizing that he was just going to continulessly give the professor his strongest Pokémon and keep himself weak, it just turned into the same shit over and over... Plus he never gave Misty (best girl) a chance. The show turned horrible.

I can understand why in my personal opinion I liked the sort of progression that silver and gold had, so I found it quite annoying that they didn't expand on that, however that didn't really bother me that much. What started to bother me with Pokemon is how easier and boring the stories were getting not to mention the hand holding seriously I can't play sun and moon it is GOD awful. that being said, I like the new approach that there going with that let's go pokemans game I highly doubt it will be that amazing but I can always dream.

I heard a lot about the Sun/Moon anime, and how it's better than all others attempts I only watched some few eps and it really looked better that X/Y

I feel the you are correct because in the original series I liked it but as I watched it I felt like it was a never-ending thing where they would have Ash gain awesome Pokemon and give it to Professor Oak and even gain new type of pokeballs and ended up either leaving them with his mom or give him the Pokemon to Professor Oak to take care of as he continuously has weak Pokemon but tries to make them stronger than they already are but the only Pokemon that I can say that is the strongest weakest Pokemon is Pikachu because he uses Pikachu more than any other Pokemon out there. And the fact that his Pikachu is the rarest like seriously you have to ask yourself this question what kind of Pikachu is Ash's Pikachu? It does so much more than any other improves it in every single region that it goes into and after the fact that they split up the main cast of characters it just made the show not worth watching because I loved Brock as a character as he was that flirty type that we grown to love and other characters and then we have Misty who was that tomboy type that had feelings for Ash the entire time and proves it every single time even in some points of the show as that was one of those things that happened in one of the Pokemon movies which was Pokemon 2000. After all that I just gave up watching Pokemon because I can't watch Pokemon without Ash and Misty plus Brock in the mix. It pissed me off that they even cut those two out of the Pokemon movie that recently happened.

I don't remember all that well, I never missed an episode when it aired on tv but I think they stop airing on my channel during Johto. One problem with Pokémon is, as judgmentoftherain stated above, there is no progression. Like maybe if you beat everyone you are a pokémon master but actually that just makes you the champion of the league. Maybe you gotta catch'em all but by the time Ash catch 10 pokémons, the season is already over and a new 100 are released. Maybe you're supposed to take care of them and learn the secret of love and learn everything about moves and types? That's more of a Brock thing, Ash just yells love and friendship and courage. Then Pokémon is an anime meant to sell games, it's one big ad. It doesn't mean it's bad but they just wanna keep going forever as long as it sells. When doing a long running series you gotta keep things fresh so they replace Ash's team and companions every so often... that's a big issue imo! Ash never grows as a character, he's the same idiot that lashes out his pokédex to ask for information no matter if you're in episode 1 or episode 500. The story is never meant to end and because of that there can be no closure or progression. I'm fine with a neverending marketing campaign except you can't tell a good story at the same time. What they should have done is let Ash grow and develop actual skill and learn things, I want to watch a main character actually become stronger. Then you switch out to a new protagonist when his story is over, possibly before introducing a new region and generation. Beyblade and Yugioh switched protagonists because they realized once you're the champion you can't go up anymore. Granted, becoming the strongest =/= character development, but Ash has neither anyway.
