Haha, yep. Pokemon is an anime. I don't see where the confusion is here. It came from Japan...right? *grin* Explains it all.And I will admit that I was an avid PKM lover a few years back (Several...like 5..). I owned the games, collected the cards, and watched the show religiously. Once they came out with the new PKM though, I gave up. 150 was enough, add another 100 and I was overwhelmed.
I'd put it in the same catagory as a lot of the animes you see on tv now days (Excluding Adult swim or otherwise...). Digimon, Yu-gi-oh, Monster Rancher (I remember this one! But the question is...was that anime?)..etc. Saturday morning cartoons explains it all right? Kids shows! Anime is anime, no matter who it is aimed for! 🙂

blackhatdefect, anime is not a term for animation in japan. it is a certain type of animation where there is usually sexual reference and always big ****. yes, pokemon is anime, but since it's for little kids, it doesn't have sexual reference. it has big **** 'cause some parents oversee their kid's shows, and they want them to watch

Um yes Anime is a shortened word derived from "Animation" and is a general term in Japan for animated shows.By the time it got back around here to America "Anime" became for US a term for Japanese Animation
Anways yes Pokemon is an anime technically anything animed is an anime but even by US terms its still an anime.Weather or not its good or not is a matter of a POV
