Nevertheless, I enjoy the pokemon anime, and the original series, in my opinion, was the best of all seasons. Well, at least up until Master's Quest. That's when it started to go down in quality. But you can't really blame this on the writers. They have to walk such a thin line and on egg shells when they write for children's shows since everything is so censored anymore. Children's shows today (save for shows like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or similar shows) are so cheesy, weak, and juvenile that not even their target audiences like them. So in a way, the biggest problem here is the ever constricting grip on the writers about what is appropriate and what isn't placed upon them by their producer bosses.
