Pros:
- The show that change the history of our planet,
- 90% of the show it's really interesting and innovative,
- It pushed the anime into mainstream media,
- Simple story design and goals,
- It shaped the generation,
- some of character development can be really interesting.
Cons:
- The remaining 10% Ash don't win neither Kanto, or Johto League,
- Some battles are ridiculous,
- Team Rocket appearance can get annoying quickly,
- The story development is being held up by corporations policy,
Overoll I would recomend watch the anime 90% of anime,but with the knowledge that Ash will unfortunately lost in the Regional League, so don't give up your hopes too high on this one.
