That's awesome! I haven't seen much of the original series because at the time it was popular, my folks were kinda.... uhh... protective? The kind of protective where my first Pokemon game was Pokemon Black for the DS. Anything with demons or dark themes were frowned upon to the point I wasn't able to watch them.. TBH it probably was a good thing at the time since I would have terrifying nightmares about demons and things that scared me. I'll have to give the show a shot now that I'm older.. ^^
Although my folks aren't like that anymore unless they feel that they have to be. I've got a lot of Pokemon games now and can watch anime that I want to. Mom trusts me that if I felt weird about watching or playing anything that I'd stop. And dad encourages me to enjoy my Pokemon games. Hehe.. ^^
