Thats a VERY dumb question(no offence)
Anime definition is cartoons made in japan.
Pokemon was made in Japan by Nintendo,and a man nammed Satoshi Tajiri(which is weird cause Satoshi is Ash's real name)

Obviously it's an anime. So, it's a crappy anime; big deal. Contrary to what the more rabid fans seem to think, there isn't some universal law that anime has to be good; I think that the people who say Pokemon isn't "real" anime just haven't managed to cope with that fact.

Anime=Japanese shorthand word for "animation," Japanese, American, or otherwise. In America, it's come to mean animated cartoons from Japan alone. So even by the American definition, Pokemon is anime.
I do like Pokemon,its mega-cute.You ppl don't seem to get that its aimed for kids..thats just immature.My fondest memories are sitting with my friend Nash watching pokemon/drawing our own monsters.Admit it..you liked it as a kid or you knew someone who dud.ITS MADE FOR KIDS PEOPLE!

So are Digimon, Card Captor Sakura, Justice League of America, and any number of other shows I enjoy. I'm judging it by the standards set by these kids shows, and finding it wanting; being made for kids is therefore not an excuse.
And no, I didn't like it as a kid. I'm not sure Pokemon was even over here when I was a kid (although I've always bee pretty oblivious to pop culture, so it wouldn't surprise me)--all of my childhood memories are of Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles and Masters of the Universe (two other kids shows that I liked more than Pokemon, incidently).

I must say BlackHatDefect just because you like the show dosn't mean everyone did or does. I never liked it as a kid and neither did any of my friends.

Re: Pokemon : anime or not?
I think the idea of Pokemon was directed at a younger audience. Pokemon exceeded in popularity after the first movie. But even since then pokemon has drop. The younger audience has grown tired of the repetetive cartoon episodes. So, I just think that pokemon was an anime mostly for kids.
