Also been awhile since i watched it... awhile is not the word for it... I saw the first and half the second season when they orginal aired in Sweden.
Do they still use the brainwashing tactics from earlier seasons?
I rewatched some of the first ones not so long ago, and it was unbearable. "catch them all" "Pokémon!"
During episode 4, they said Pokémon 40times a 20minute episode, and Ash mindlessly yells how he wants to catch em all and become the best. I suppose there is no co-incidence that the cards sold like crack.
I recorded the first season aswell as the first part of the second, but I lost interest when someone decided to fuck the continuation of the Orange League to promote the silver and gold games. Even in eternal series with no plot development, it still is important. I didn't buy the silver and gold game because of that, which I regret now. :p
Like I said before, Ash isn't the idiot he once was. There is no more shouting "I'm going to be a Pokemon Master!" every episode. The Orange Island season was never 'fucked' by the Johto seasons. Maybe the channel you watched in on cut it short, but the Orange Island arc was completed. I don't quite get what you mean by brainwashing tactics. If you're referring to the almost-everyone-being-a-goody-two-shoes aspect, that hasn't changed.
Time to watch some DP 79 ...
