When I think of childhood, first thing that pops up in mind is Pokemon anime. I am a big fan of Pokemon games and anime. Pokemon is not limited only to catching and training them, but the bond which is shown between trainers and Pokemon makes you think about your love for animals as well. The friendship shown between Ash, Misty and Brock is an important aspect of anime.This is the cartoon that I would suggest for children of 7 years and above. In India Pokemon has made a special place in many childhoods including mine. Even if the Pokemon games are not played in India as they are played in Japan or US, but anime were successful in being the talking issues in school. For those who have not watched Pokemon and want to watch, I would suggest you to start from very first Episode, and after completion of every season watch the movie based on that season. Pokemon is not only limited to virtual world, but it also creates love and affection for nature and animals in young minds. So with an overall aspect of adventure, comedy, fighting, friendship, nature Pokemon ranks first in my list. When we think of first 5 seasons, they are like 'most awesome'. After the 5th season the two new friends of Ash (May and Dawn) played a nice role, but after 13th season the anime doesn't seem to go the way it use to go. The new characters are not as good as trio of Ash, Misty and Brock. If the company want to give importance to game characters then it is fine, but even the games are single character games, so keeping that way they can introduce Misty back. There are many unanswered questions in mind of Pokefans like 'Who is Ash's father?', 'What is in GS ball?'. The old Pokefans like me are finding the new seasons a bit disturbing, because we knew the craze of Pokemon for initial seasons. The fighting of Ash and Misty, madness of Psyduck. I sometime really hope to see Richie and Sparky back, even he can be great companion of Ash along with his journey. We really hope to see a great comeback of Pokemon anime.
