The first season has some thing ridiculous like 54 episodes and each season after that has the same amount! The original series of 151 Pokemon were by far the best, though for those of you that Finnish a show and go aweee i wish it wasn't over.....don't worry with Pokemon it never is.
I grew up with this show and was recently at a friends house who has a 8 year old kid, his parents had been downloading the first season and this kid was LOVING it! Needless to say i proceed to sing the thyme song with him (which i still remember word for word and will bust out at parties when im drinking. why yes, i am 21) and totally kicked his ass at all the "whats that pokemon" ad breaks.
Even now 15 years later kids are still loving this show, they don't care about any dodgy animation, what the hell does an 8 year old care about cutting edge HD animation for anyway? its the story line (admittedly a little repetitive, yet easy for its target audience of 3-14 year olds to follow) Even as a kid i remember loving this show more over any of the more advanced cartoons.
If you've got a kid in the 4 - 14 age range, DOWNLOAD this show for them NOW! like i said with a stupid amount of episodes per season it will keep them entertained throughout their childhood and give them some great memories, in fact one of my best friends of 16years and i met over a pokemon card battle in the local park. I completely intend to introduce my kids, my grand kids and all my friends and family's kids to the show, to an 8 year old the graphics are irrelevant but the story is timeless.
*Side note* re watching the show now.... theirs actually a lot of adult content covered by double meanings that kids will take innocently. Clearly written well for those adults out their being forced to sit through the show :P oh and Brock appears to get laid.......A lot!
