now that i think about it, they're going to have a lot of chances to portray a lot of the "kid unfriendly" elements in the game such as cubone's mother getting killed by team rocket, gambling, team rocket as a criminal organization, the cinnabar island ruins where mew gave birth to mewtwo. they also have opportunities to address or tease a lot of fan theories and popular observations (erika being a lesbian because she only has women in her gym).
Mewtwo was pretty legendary.
The series went extremely downhill after the orange island arc and the 2nd movie though. Isn't even worth watching now.
Last night I decided to watch an episode from the first season of Pokemon because I couldn't sleep and why not?
It's not that suprising considering it's a show aimed at 10 year olds but fuck Ash is more annoying than I remember. He just ignores everyone's advice, makes terrible decisions and then somehow always 1 shots the other pokemon when he really needs to.
I like the idea of a program aimed more at adults, all the nostalgia but maybe some character development my 20 year old mind can appreciate.

me too :D Ivysaur was my fav though, looks so damn handsome Venusaur just looks kinda over the top
I started playing pokemon with pokemon red , squirtle as my starter for my 1st run , but later through out the years I played with all 3 starters , I have to agree , squirtle is ez mode compared to charmander
I honestly stopped watching the anime after ash played in the johto league (did he win that ????) , and I stopped playing the game after the gold version , ok its time to download an emulator and play some pokemon
Can't believe it took them this long to understand what people actually wanted from pokemon, it's almost like they just auto pilot reproduce the same formula over and over with out thinking things through.
Charmander! I think I picked him when I first played it as a kid because I had pokemon red, and he is red... you know I was a kid. I have a lot of very good memories of this game of when I first played it (eventhough I played it a bunch when I was older along other pokemon games).
I remember watching the mewtwo movie many times too, and some episodes of the serie when I catched them on the tv.
On the original games, I usually picked Squirtle, not because he was my favorite, but because Brock's and Misty's gyms were a pain in the ass with Charmander.
On FireRed, however, I picked Charmander. Dat Metal Claw.
