...how exactly can Pokémon jump a shark? Wouldn't there be some difficulty doing that in a world where no sharks exist? And is there a Fonz pokémon?

But yeah, it was ok when it started, but now I don't even bother.

Pokemon can jump over a Samehada. xDD

But if we're talking about the original series where there WAS no shark-Pokemon yet... er... it can jump... over something. <<;

Actually, no, Satoshi has Pokemon that can BEAT LEGENDARIES now. It was just early first season Kanto Satoshi that released all his strongest Pokemon. And even the Kanto starters come back from time to time. They're not completely gone. The Gotta Catch 'Em All is the old English slogan anyway- they don't use it anymore. ^^;

I thought Johto and Master Quest was pretty boring, but I actually like the new episodes (not so much the new voices. Ash's voice = bleeding ears).

Battle Frontier's episodes ARE great... ^^
But yeah, shame about the voices.
Except for James'. It's not all squealy and overdone as Eric's in Houen, so it's good with me.

I'm not sure if Pokemon has jumped the shark yet, but when I catch it on YTV I'm lost to which season they are showing. :shock:
