Pokémon (anime)

thumb|The theme song of Pokemon
The Pokémon anime is the English dub of the Japanese cartoon テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスター」シリーズ. It is infamous for its terrible mistranslations, such as "jelly donut" for 御握り and "breeding center" for who knows what? However, these were most prevalent in the first season, which is the one that gives Millennials the most nostalgia, so it didn't really turn out to be a detriment.
The series follows the adventures of the sadistic kid Ash Ketchum, who goes on a journey throughout the Kantō Plain to become the best animal battler in his coma dream. He is soon joined by an underdressed girl and a lonely Asian man and gets stalked by low level organized crime grunts who are obsessed with stealing his magic electric pika. But then when we see other members of their syndicate who are more competent, such as Butch, Cassidy, and Giovanni, we see that they actually provide a refutation of the ethic of Pokemon "training," which makes it clear that Ash's ambitions are just a rebellion against his father, Giovanni.
Ash ends up ranking in the top 16 in the the Kantō Region, but he is never satisfied with his successes so he keeps moving to different regions in his quest for Pokémon supremacy.
