I liked the first season and all, but damn were the writers morons at times.
it fucking worked, didn't it? Of course you as an adult think its retarded, but kids ate that shit up.
Considering he won a lot of gym matches by not battling, is it any surprise that he didn't win the League?

I still like the show itself, but I wanted actual battles.
The writers realzied their mistake by making the rest of the seasons have Ash earning his badges legitimately.

I would have been cool to have a Haunter in his team. Also, I might be wrong, but I think at the time he only had 5 Pokemon in his party anyways.

Honestly they should've kept the show as an adventure series. Because the show requires Ash winning to progress now and because they can't make the battles and characters believable enough, it just feels like a Satoshi circlejerk now.
who cares tho because Serena won da Satoshi amiright? :^)
