Well, the quality of a cartoon shouldn't really be based on the bust size of its female characters... And I've noticed no change in the size of Jessie's chest. Then again, I don't look for things like that.
Still, Naruto was edited. CN removed Rock Lee's Drunken Fist and some moments such as when Konohamaru got a face-full of Tsunade's chest, commenting it felt soft like his old baby blankie, were removed. A significant amount of blood was also removed. Jetix in the UK did an even worse job censoring it and I've heard Disney XD has massacred the Shippuden dub to where Sasuke can't even be seen unsheathing his sword in the first episode. DragonBall Z was also edited while it aired on Toonami. All the original music was replaced with some kind of poser rock, and who could forget that "KRILLIN'S IN DA HOWEZ!!!"
I admit Pokémon has some dumb edits like the whole onigiri = doughnut thing. Heaven forbid our children see foreign food! But that's present in all of 4Shame's anime dubs.
I really don't think Pokémon as a whole will be "destroyed" if the anime is bad. The anime came after the games. The games are where it all began and where it all will end. The anime, the manga, the TCG all stem from the games but they're each their own thing. If the anime is bad, the anime will lose popularity and die but the games will continue as long as they stay good and so Pokémon will live on. To be honest, I haven't watched an episode of the anime since the Kanto saga ended because I feel it's past its prime.
And I wouldn't say the manga has no effect at all. To some, such as myself, the manga is a better source of entertainment than the anime and is actually preferred. The manga obviously matters to some as it hasn't been cancelled.
at least they say some bad words in dragon ball !!
ok,there is no change in Jessie's chest but compare her pics when she wears a bikini or open shirt in the first season and the current one, all I mean is that this is lack of realistic in the character design they are not fantasy characters they are humans !!
for many people the game is based on the anime,the manga is so cool I read the first few chapters and I also made an anime for the manga of the first three chapters you can find them on youtube (link is in my signature)
:I guess that's not an advertising !!,in order to make the anime more childish all characters must be so,this includes the pokemon, and this was clear spatially for the new 5 gen. pokemon I don't say they are bad I love them,if we will talk about the quality of the anime, so it is BAD, the animators are not professional enough, in most of times battles goes too slow,and it appears that the animators are not able to make pokemon move well,the completely opposite thing happens in naruto, more over the colors they use in the background and the drawing proof that they are not professionals at all,maybe that's because they have to proceed in making the anime as fast as they can !!??
when I talk about naruto and dragon ball,I meant the anime it self and not the dub, and if you are talking about what they did in the dub, I saw the worst dub of any anime ever the Arabic version,they leave all the violent scenes without any cut only for few scenes,but they did something even worst, THEY PLAY WITH THE ANIME !!,if watch an episode you will never understand any thing they keep repeating scenes over and over,they remove any scene that shows love between boy and girls they change the script and repeat scenes and as a result you can only see half the episode and with a new story, fortunately this does not happen to pokemon the anime was dubbed the some US version without any change and in the same channel,actually animes all were aired without any cut or play with scenes in the past, I don't know what had happened !?? any way I watch anime in English on cartoon network,thanks god I have this channel
