Pokemon Wank [that sounds so wrong]
Now this isn't a LJ or Journal entry but a rant posted on a website, so if this isn't appropriate please let me know.

Now this rant is about why the author likes Team Rocket. Nothing wrong with that, I like Jesse and James and got a kick out of them when I still watched the series.

But, well, I'll let the article speak for itself:

Sure, most little kids love Ash and the other twerps. But their love isn't as sincere as those who love Team Rocket, who appeal more to Pokemon's older audience. Being young, their minds aren't developed enough to appreciate such depth in a character nor to continue loving that character for so long, as the younger generation tends to go in and out of so-called "fads" like Pokemon in the blink of an eye.

So not liking TR means 'your love isn't sincere'. Anne Rice is that you?

They don't understand that Anime is different from most American cartoons. There is much more variety of characters with a whole range of personalities to suit anyone of any age and taste (which is why, in Japan at least, Anime is liked by people of all ages and no Anime is "a kid's show").

I'll agree that there seems to be more variety in animated programs in Japan, but no anime series was ever intended for children?

The hell?

So Hamtaro really is an in dept look at the human psyche?

But the so-called "bad guys" of Pokemon, the adorable, comical, and always entertaining Team Rocket have moved me in a very special way, a way that no other character has.

Alrighty then.

The whole thing just comes off as utterly cracktacular.

Take a look for yourself.

Thanks to Sarajaye for showing me the link.
