And yet, they show the same drivel for the past 3-5 years...XD

All they care about is money now and doing half the effort for what little ones have just gotten use to because they don't know anything better ?

Great answer! And to the point, too!

If only times would change again, but in this case, in favor of the products and not the money.

That's me, to the point ..at least online about things I care about. And the death of Saturday morning to be replaced with reruns of the same two or three cartoons everyday of the week is one of those things .

I love pokemon ! I got into it when the anime first aired (Yes, that was actually the first episode that aired, not episode one) in the US when I was sixteen (but it was in the afternoon and by that time most of the cartoons I grew up with had been pushed off by something else anyway), and that Christmas I got Blue Version. I have always loved the idea of raising a breeding animals, so I love things like Pokemon and Monster Rancher ^.^.
Now I have all the games and even write fanfic, and I have been a member of one forum for seven years now^.^.

If you like Pokemon, I urge you NEVER to check out something called Time Bokan, since Nintendo CLEARLY lifted multiple plot points from them. They just replaced the time travelling robots with monster fighting. They even stole the evil trio.

Don't get me wrong... I used to like Team Rocket... until I found out they were just the The Skull Trio With a bishonen in the role of the tall guy with a weird nose, and a cat in place of the short fat little guy.

And then Nintendo stole the dude with the long nose and called him "Warluigi" a little later.

The evil trio is nothing new, I would not hate Team Rocket just because of that. If anything I think they do the roles better than many older teams before them , and I have seen many of them...and as for time robots vs. fighting animals, I would much rather have animals. Just because some themes came before pokemon does not mean pokemon stole them...Fighting anime has been around forever anyway, there is hardly anything that is not based on an older theme, but I don't think that means that the newer series stole anything...
For example, I know that there has been magical girl anime before Sailor Moon, but I still think Sailor Moon does a better job of telling that type of story than the many series that came before it..It's a matter of taste I guess...

I also love the evil team in Flint the Time Detective, which is based off of that older series and a mix of with pokemon I think *lol*

Wait, wait you guys. If they were still showing cartoons on Saturday anymore, you know good and well that you would be complaining about the quality of the cartoons that wee on. Quality does not come in quantity.

I was not saying that more was better, just that series that use the same ideas are not always worst because of the fact that they are using the idea . But then, I am one of the fans of both things like Muppet Babies and A Pup Named Scooby Doo . I liked Buster Bunny even if he was a lot like a mini Bugs to .
