Umm, I watch the anime for Fun, not for the plot. I grew up to the Anime and never heard of the manga until Ntom64 mentioned it in the Pokemon the First movie Commentary and that was in 2008. And don't talk bad about the anime, I don't care for filler in the show, as long as I get up every morning to watch. CA59 and others don't have the right to call Ash and the the anime Stupid and Retarded (I have Autism, so I find that offensive). Plus, do you see the stories she likes, they bash the anime and KH. Look, anyone can say what they want about me, the Anime, or Ash, but I'm sticking to the anime forever. So, have a good day. Plus, I don't need CA59's snarky review, I'm a good writer, that's why I have reviews, becuse people out there want a story, not a rant about the anime/series.
