I loved the Indigo League part of the Pokemon anime as a kid. I was obsessed with that and Digimon, and though I watched many cartoons, those were ones I felt the strongest emotional pull towards. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I’ve always enjoyed animals and nature.But after Indigo League was replaced by Orange League, I stopped watching Pokemon, much like I quit Digimon in the third season. The reason was the same in both cases – a lack of my favorite characters, who had initially drawn me into the show. In Orange League it was a replacement of Brock, and later the anime also does away with Misty, a move that I considered unacceptable at the time.Pokémon 1997 Season 1-25 Download.
But now I decided I wanted to give new Pokemon anime a chance. The latest, X and Y anime, didn’t do much for me. So I decided to go back and watch Black & White, because Gen 5 is my favorite of the latter generations of the games (out of 4,5,6, and 7).Having given it a chance, I found Pokemon Black and White, which is called Pokemon Best Wishes in Japanese, to be surprisingly fresh. Here are the main observations I made about the series’ first season, and my overall opinion of it.
Iris is from a small village where training Dragon-type Pokemon is a rite of passage. She constantly calls Ash a “child,” even though obviously they’re both children, because Iris is obsessed with maturity. It becomes stale comedy pretty quickly. However, as the show progresses, you see that Iris is more than stale comedy. She genuinely seems nurturing and caring to Pokemon. Like Misty before her, Iris also is the one who calls Ash out when he makes bad choices from a strategy perspective, but she’s a bit less mean than Misty about it. If Misty was a spicy tsundere, Iris is more of a sweet dere-dere.
