I love all the games. GSC just has so many combos (Perish-Trapping, Swift-Dancing) that some are probably lying waiting to be discovered (Belly Rest: Use Belly Drum, then Rest). The show was extremely stupid, though. Especially the new episodes. It's always:

Ash: I've almost got all the pokemon in the world!
Team Rocket: We're gonna steal your pokemon!
Ash: Pikachu! Thunderbolt!
Team Rocket: You can't thunderbolt us! We're wearing rubber/absorbing your energy into a battery! We're so smart!
*random pokemon comes by and beats the crap out of T.R.*
Team Rocket: Blargh! We lose!
Ash: I got my pokemon back! ...I'm even closer to becoming a pokemon master!

It's even worse than that, with basically no content and lame jokes without any humor.

Anyway, the games rule.
