So has there ever been a moment or even episode of the show that you've found particulary cheesy or overly sappy, to the point of feeling slightly (or even greatly!) embarrassed to be watching? Was it brought on just because you found it silly in itself, or because someone in your company decided to make some commentary about it?
(None of those 'why should I be embarrassed? There's no shame in watching pokemon' type comments please. This is more looking back and having fun remembering silly stuff!)
To get the ball rolling, a big one I remember from my childhood was most of the scenes leading up to Ash getting stoned in the first movie. The slow motion footage of pokemon slapping each other, the soppy background music, the hamfisted morals. But it was nothing compared to the motionless Ash lying on the ground as the pokemon's tears brought him back to life. Young Grave-e slunk right back into his cinema seat.
Otherwise, the 'karaeokemon' stuff would never be on TV for more than a second if I had company. 'Pikachu, you are my brother'? Instant channel change!
