Well, I've only really watched the first season, up to the Pokemon League tournament. I love that and actually own all 79 episodes on DVD. I have the Orange Islands box set too, and it's really great and funny. When the show was being aired, I stopped watching it around that time, so I don't really know how Johto Journeys is, or anything after that, but I've seen a few episodes here and there, and it didn't seem that bad.

Are you kidding? I actually really enjoyed the DP seasons, just as much as Hoenn and the others, if not more. I enjoyed Dawn's character, and noted how much she and Ash learned from each other in their respective battling/contest styles and stuff. The tense rivalry with Paul, and the thing with Chimchar, good. =) And Croagunk replacing Misty and Max in the "Stop Brock's advancement on women" department: more funny with the painful Poison Jabs than with mere ear-pulling. Best iteration of the running joke!
Oh, and the contests are even more awesome than in the Hoenn saga!

I had also read up on this article beforehand, about how the DP saga impacted the series. It's cool.

Oh, and you should make note of some of the episodic subplots that show up. They were nice. =)

I have watched the whole series from the beginning since '09 wherever online I could find them, sometimes stopping whenever the threat of a virus popped up, and then I get back to it at a later time. Right now, besides following the BW saga, I've revisited some of the 1st-season episodes cause it's been awhile, and I'm lol'ing at how amateurish the voice actors sounded back then. =P But I really make note of the heart in the first episode, the lengths Ash went to protect Pikachu from the Spearow. And I notice that same selflessness whenever Ash puts himself in danger, even jumping off a cliff or waterfall, in order to save a Pokemon friend. He's inspiring that way, you know. =)

I hated the series i thought when the first season and when the new pokemon was added  was done everyone got bored with the show but 12 years later it still running I all i see is fans on this site so yeah.I found it pointless  that all humans ever discuss about is pokemon sure thats what the show is called but they are way to obsessed with them !Hell they might already have a pokemon wedding since they all over them pokemons!

I don't really like to watch Pokémon black and white series because it is not good at all he is still ten i like the hoenn shows because it had great battle long ones to he lost a couple times and i also like the 1st region it had the best battles like gary vs ash great pokemon but 5th region and iris gets me mad because she thinks she is better than ash but if he gets his sinnoh region pokemon vs iris that is bad but he should bring back one of them back that would be awesome

Naw I try not to. I really saddens me though, because I used to LOVE it and it started sucking with Dawn in the Sinnoh region. Luckily they, at the moment, have Pokemon Advanced on at Boomerang at 6 PM. 

was good with misty. got weird with may. havent seen much with dawn. none of anything after that... but surely after that many episodes ash can recognize team rocket in disguise -__-
