I'm the only one who feels like the original Pokemon anime is not very good. Outside of nostalgia, I feel like the show has not aged very well. I think the show gets boring pretty quick and I found myself stop re-watching the episodes after the first 15 something episodes.

Not even the animation look that great even for 1997-1998 standers.

Yeah, I mean it was great when it first came out but after they swapped to digital with the TV show they look bad in terms of quality. I guess it can't be helped. Personally the best adaptation of the game itself I think are the Pokemon Adventures/Pocket Monster Special manga series and the Pokemon Origins anime mini-series.

Oh damnit. The US Pokemon Center site DID put up pre-orders for Nendoroid Lillie. And she comes with the Poke Doll!

After they passed on the Red & Green two-pack, I had no faith in them carrying her so went with the standard release on AmiAmi. And don't want to risk my account and sooo many more items by trying to cancel that given how crazy they are. Bleh.

FYI orders for the Ash Nendoroid opened last night. No exclusive items with this one. ^_^

And he comes with Pikachu so I'm not even that bummed about missing Pikachu with Figma Red because between the two Ashes I have on order I'll be good for tiny Pikachu heh.

Shiny Tapu Koko is available now via Mystery Gift.

I hatched a Shiny Salandit a moment ago and I was only breeding for a Timid Female with good IVs. Of course the shiny had to be male however...

Well, at least I can use it in Little Cup battles.

Thank you Japan :lol

I feel like this'll be a meme someday.

With Pokemon, you are better off with the games, the manga and Pokemon Origins in my opinion. I guess some of the movies are not bad, but I won't call them that great neither.

Pokémon Generations was also pretty good IMO.
