Anyway pokemon shows *are* silly. Ash does a bunch of things and I think the only thing I really enjoy is whenever he competes in the end-of-year tournament (and I think sometimes he doesn't even enter wtf did I watch the whole season for?)

Misc. pokemon-ish shows are boring because they lack that....next step/final battle. Yes digimon had to fight weird things at the end, and who knows what happens at the end of Yugioh. But after that they grow up 1000 years and everything changes. There's no reason to care about characters :(

But with Ash and Pikachu you (could) care -- they overcame wacky obstacles and won/lost/never competed in a tournament! :o
