Why It Rocks

 * 1) The animation is very good for Source Film Maker standards, which improved over time in the series.
 * 2) Many of the characters are very well written.
 * 3) * Charmander while hot-tempered is a decent protagonist voiced by the creator of the series
 * 4) * Leader Caterpie is a great antagonist of the series, it wanted revenge on Charmander for killing it's brother Pablo after cheating in a Pokemon Battle.
 * 5) * Squirtle is a good secondary protagonist, while he doesn't like to get bossed around. He later trained with the Leader Caterpie to defend himself.
 * 6) Amazing soundtrack for the series taken from the Pokemon games.
 * 7) * The original song made for the series "Rock Smasher" is also great.
 * 8) It had many great episodes such as "The Lizard Slayer" "Ooo Look At Me I'm A Big Scary Ghost" and "Fight Fire With Fire".
 * 9) Amazing voice acting from Shippiddge himself, Jill Harris, Mick Lauer, and Dreux Ferrano Jr.
 * 10) Many fan-dubs exist of the series, which many of them are also good.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Many of the characters only appeared in 1 Episode.
 * 2) * Mewtwo: Only appeared in Episode 8
 * 3) * Haunter: Only appeared in Episode 8 possibly after being corrupted by Missingno.
 * 4) * Flareon: Only appeared in Episode 7
 * 5) The Humans are very annoying in the series as the only words they say is the word "Human" over and over again, possibly due to the series being centered around the Pokemon instead of the humans.
 * 6) Many Plotholes.
 * 7) * How can Pokemon claim other Pokemon, let alone using Trainer's Pokeballs.
 * 8) * Bulbasaur gets poisoned despite being half poison type.
