Neal hasn't watched the Pokémon anime in close to 20 years, so now seems like the perfect time to rewatch it.

I’m what I’d term a lax Pokémon fan. I was crazy into it all back when it hit America in 1998, digesting all the games, anime, cards, and what not Nintendo and The Pokémon Company would unleash. Around 2001, I fell off the series, and only really got involved again with the games when Diamond and Pearl launched. My current affection is only for the games, and I legit only thought there were like nine movies until recently (the 19th movie launches this year apparently).
But it’s been 20 years since Pokémon launched. That feels important (or at least that Super Bowl ad sure as hell told me it was important). Maybe just maybe, I should extend my gaze past the Pokémon games. So, I’m embarking on a journey of watching a bunch of the old anime, which is named Pokémon: Indigo League on Netflix.
I pretty much stopped watching the series after the original season, as I feel the series peaked with the first Pokemon tournament. Plus, the series went on to introduce all the lame post-Red & Blue Pokemon,Hey, don't you be dissing on my boy Tyranitar.
Better than a lot of animeyou obviously don't watch a lot of anime.

so Muk, Magnemite, and pidgey are creative are they?

Generation 5 is hilarious, it's basically a 50/50 split of either blatant copy of an existing pokemon (look out, it's Woobat) or a really neat, interesting idea like Chandelure or Braviary that probably won't evolve until level 57 or something because B/W had a different experience system where that actually sorta barely made sense that they ultimately ditched.so Muk, Magnemite, and pidgey are creative are they?
Pidgey's more creative than the new Pidgey clone they insist on introducing in each new generation. I don't mind adding new ones, but it feels like a lot of them suffer from the 3D Mario "No, we have to have 120 of them!" design philosophy. I get the feeling of them going through the motions a lot more with the later games, with a new shitty bird and a new shitty bug every time around for no good reason.
I've actually been watching the D/P version of the Anime because I'd heard pretty good things about it and I have to say, it's been a really fun watch.
