You know what I'm talking about. The MegaMan Battles, the Digimons, the Yu-Gi-Oh's...etc.
They are all based on the same concept. Let your character do battle as the person says "Yeah! Do your speciallaserthingamabooger!" That's it! It's so ridiculous. They say the trainer has to do all the hardwork...I DON'T SEE ANY HARD WORK AT ALL! Ash is so overated, all he does is yell Thundershock! Pikachu should be mature enough after all those battles to know when to use an attack, it's so pathetic. Not only that the trainers take credit for the battles when they hardly train.
These influx of Japanese cartoons, or anime, or whatever you want to call them, all stink. I miss the days of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and real anime like Ronin Warriors.
