I wrote off Pokemon within the first season of watching it.
At first, I really enjoyed the concept. Wandering the world, catching monsters, training them to fight. Seemed cool.
As the series progressed though it became obvious that the show wasn't going to follow its own premise. I mean, Ash pretty much NEVER catches pokemon. Instead of catchin a new one every week, he has some mundane adventure where some one shot character shows him their one pokemon, and then at the end of the episode, he leaves without catching one. So the whole thing is moot.
Oh, that grass pokemon helps you make perfume? That's great. When are you gonna fucking fight?
Plus, the team rocket thing got old after about 5 episodes...
i don't see how naruto thinks he has time to finish mastering the new jutsu, when the rest of the team is literally already waiting at the gate for him to come. i hope that the team just decides to leave him behind because he's not coming..

Fuck this episode in its stupid ass.
Seriously.
Edit: To contribute...anyone else bothered by how Sai could deceive both Team 7 and Orochimaru just two arcs ago, yet he completely fumbles when Naruto asks about his mission?

Nah, that's not actually a bad detail. The dude was a fine ninja (except for his wardrobe) before, but now he has ruined himself by trying to impress an idiot like Naruto by reading all those useless books and trying to gain feelings unnecessary in the work of a ninja. Though I suppose having normal human feelings makes living as a human more enjoyable, so I can't blame him too much, but he could have chosen his friends a bit more carefully.Originally Posted by Assertn
Naruto is a bad influence on good ninjas, that's why Sasuke ran away.
True that.

He is a new rival. Rather than making friends with his critters as all right-thinking trainers do, he views them as tools and will only settle for the most powerful ones he can find. (So, basically, he's like those 25-year-old guys who show up at tournaments with EV-leveled teams and kick all the 12-year-olds' asses.)
And yes, I'm embarassed to know that.
Well, I never went to tournaments, but back during the Gold/Silver days and the gamecube game that you could load your gameboy save onto and battle with me and all my friends were all about building powergame teams to beat each other with.
