I'm just curious as to why it is instead of being epic like Kanto and Johto in the 1st seasons of the Anime. Why can't the Anime be as good as the Manga?
Why is the Anime a Marketing Gimmick?

Well buddy if only the pokemon company would listen to our pleads of change and overall better understanding of things.Ignoring us is what they do and give infants the love and peace of a horrid but still child friendly anime.

Different target audiences. Most little kids don't have the patience to sit for hours and enjoy manga. The anime is directed towards them. Pokemon runs things like a business, which means money comes first, and sadly, little kids' parents are the big money vaults.
There's already backlash over Gen 5 and with the Anime being a marketing gimmick that backlash isn't helping the series at all, let alone Ash's new obession with pot or he got a new pair of brown eye contacts.
They cared in the first several Seasons of the Anime during Kanto and Johto with Ash, Misty, and Brock. Afterwards when the Yu-Gi-Oh! craze was dominating with Gen 3 around that's probably when the producers stopped caring.

Ash's eye style isn't drug induced. It's a shallow and unfunny joke. Sorry.
They cared in the first seasons because they never expected the series to continue. They wanted to end it off with a Mewtwo finale, but the franchise got uber popular, so they continued it. Why it has become more of a marketing gimimick now is anyone's guess, but Julia pretty much summed it up.
Which begs the question of how anyone can call DP an improvement. Especially with that horse crap Takuto fight they call "surprising and fantastic" because Pikachu took out Latios. You'd think it would be obvious by now that being a mascot and uber popular, Pikachu would get the best screen time regardless of who he's fighting. It's like when Megaman fans say "MM9 made you realize you don't need charge shot or slide to win this game" when in all honesty, you have to design the game and enemies with the character's abilities in mind or else you're a bad designer.
Oh i'm just rambling now....
