People still take Pokemon anime seriously?
I saw an episode on TV recently (I was with some friends and we wanted a good laugh) and it was just stupidly funny. I don't care if they make the animation better, it'll still suffer from the "Retard Adventures" as people have been dubbing it.
So yeah, this looked really uninteresting.
No, people don't take it seriously at all because like people have said, Ash makes idiotic decisions, and seems to lose skill as a trainer with each new region, whilst Pikachu should be maximum level by now but can't take out a lowly Elekid when one-shotting a Legendary Regice the prior episode.
The start of the Black/White anime "Best wishes" apparently took a promising turn at the start and had Team Rocket actually doing things competently, and Meowth apparently joined Ash and co for a while, but have returned to being the same villainous foil they always were.
This trailer has shown that people are interested in a complete overhaul of the pokémon anime, no more focus on Ash and companions but instead follow the events of Black 2/White 2 and actually be more interesting.
That being said the films are usually of a better caliber than the syndicated TV series, they both largely function as a way to entice kids to get their very own legendary pokémon though, and introduce features of the games like the Pokéwood thing where you make movies in Black 2/White 2, that's coming up in the anime soon.
