~Not sure what you mean by the 9000 even with hyperbole, I mean I'd understand if it was Clair... wait, oh yeah, forgot about him being in the RG thing.

Johto was increasingly terrible because he had ONE evolved Pokemon(aside from Noctowl, of course) which was just a boring one at that. Bayleef annoyed me. The "Pouncing on Ash" thing got tired really fast...as did Totodile dancing...and Cyndaquils high-pitched voice...it just bothered me.

~Agreed, but I think it was pretty much because both Brock and Misty went very high with evolved Pokemon, three of which evolved all the way. Niether of them had any evolutions occur in Kanto or Orange (Well, Misty HAD Starmie from the start). I was kind of disappointed, seeing as some of the main characters' Pokemon have "gimmicks" like Charizard being stubborn, Bulbasaur and Squirtle being best friends, Squirtle trying to act tough, Heracross's... ahem, thing.. with Bulba and trees and Grass types, et al. I was hoping Totodile would keep that act in "Love, Totodile Style" as a gimmick kinda like Brock, but with Pokemon. I was disappointed it was with dancing. The only other time I could have really appriciated Totodile was when after getting its ass kicked by Sneasel at that Shrine thing, it later on mocked it and beat it in the battle with Harrison at the league.

On top of all this, they were going so well with the Red Gyarados and Lance, then Lance comes in and goes all "After school special" on us. "Ooh noes! Don't fight! Gyarados should be hugging and kissing and being a sweetheart to EVERYONE!"
It's GYARADOS. It's called the Atrocious Pokemon. It's Dex Entry says it appears, rips a town apart, and goes on its' way. I am sick of the Elite 4 being portrayed as powerful in battle, but absolutely pathetic in actual wild Pokemon. What, Pokemon should only be treated with respect if you want them to think humans aren't all bad? I don't recall Brock babying Zubat. Or Ash getting all nice and sweet with Krabby, Pidgeotto, Caterpie, Muk, or Bulbasaur accepting his kindness. All of them were weakened and captured. Not "ZOMG HUGS 4 ALL". It got really insulting.

~True, but there's no such thing as a "bad" Pokemon, with the exception of Meowth. Although, I guess if they were gonna portray Lance as the "Pokemon G-Man" as well as some Elite Four trainer. But I think the point is to try and make them look "perfect". But... I don't remember Bruno nor Prima doing that. And yes, this was pretty pathetic.

Of course, anyone watching will notice that the Pokemon he doesn't weaken and capture seemed to be weak or something happened along the lines(i.e Caterpie became Butterfree, one of his best. Primeape respected him, Muk, Tauros, and Kingler are 3 of his best, and Bulbasaur was his best grass-type despite being basic. Cyndaquil routinely lost, Bayleef was nothing more than a portable winch, Totodile danced and got his ass kicked, Charizard disobeyed for a good deal of the Johto League and since after Koga for the Kanto league).

~I agree with the above, except since I always have something to nitpick about, I'm assuming you meant Orange in that last one.
