Its dead and buried

This is the prime example of what happens to a show after far too many seasons. In the beginning it was fresh and original. In fact I liked it at first, but as of late it's been played to death. The writers have gone far from the original theme and it's the same old regurgitated plot. "ooh lets be friends oh no team rocket lets own them". This has been beaten for everything it's worth and the original memory of it destroyed. Is this what you wanted!!! This show honestly has gone down hill, as other comments stated its repetitive overused themes, who ever is getting paid for making this episodes should get a pay cut. It was nice knowing you.
