I started watching when I was about 7 or 8 years old! Pokemon is a fantastic show. Sadly, it went pretty downhill after Misty left and even worse not long after Misty and May are introduced. I stopped watching not long after they came into the show. The characters are pretty likable. The show is not the same as it used to be. It's about fighting about 99% of the time. Long gone are the emotional and heart warming scenes from the first 5-6 seasons, but now it's all battles and more battles. Even the films are rubbish now. If your kids weren't brought up with the 'old Pokemon', then it's O.K. But being brought up with the show, it's really disappointing. It seems to be more of a marketing plot to get money nowadays. The show isn't sexualised, apart from some tops that show boobs sometimes and any episodes that had any 'questionable' material was removed from US television. Brock also gets 'mental' everytime he sees a girl. At times he can be a bit inappropriate about it. I remember in one episode he is dreaming about his wedding and he says "We aren't going to the reception, we are going straight to the honeymoon" or something like that. He also has said some 'questionable' slightly sexual stuff about women, but it's hardly ever said. It's very comical though. Kids won't notice it. Pokemon is not an EVIL show, even though it has had 'evil' Pokemon fighting parts. Ash and Pikachu have a wonderful relationship and they truly love each other

Great show for kids. Every episode teaches the kid a lesson in teamwork, friendship, and others. And if you look away from the battling, the main reason is the pokemon and human bond and have a friendship. Great show for 7 and older

I like it.

i love this show its good nothing bad if parents always have preasure on their children idk it not hat bad

i love it and my 11-year old does too

I don't think children under 11 should watch this show because of the violence.

Fine show if you watch season 1 2 3 4. Like Pikachu And ASH.

Pokemon hit the world and I was a fan, but it passed in about a year. Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, and Cowboy Bebop are much better animes.
