Having completed both FMA and the original Yu-Gi-Oh! earlier this year, I finally had time to watch through the good old Pokemon Orange League, the arc my country Finland originally skipped. It wasn't any worse than Kanto in my opinion. I have moved to Diamond and Pearl now, but it appears a bit dull in the beginning so I may drop it for Best Wishes! or entirely another anime in the future. [I do have watched Pokemon XY(Z) years ago]
