Ooh, I am tempted for that Johto Journeys set... I do have the best eps saved, but I love the Johto arc and would like to own it! And the other Johto seasons.
Yeah, I can agree with TR's characterizations suffering in Master Quest, but MQ has so many episodes I adore, in fact, probably my favorite ep of the entire Johto arc--where they meet an Unown that helps them understand a Larvitar's fears.
And yes, that Hoenn ep was Jessie and James releasing Arbok and Weezing. I can't say that their characterization continued to improve; they were basically comic relief for the arc. But yeah, the voice cast change was too much; it was like losing friends that I'd come to know for 8 years. If any plots intrigued me after season 8, I sought them out in Japanese, like I did with the Brock & Misty reunion eps that just aired in Japan. If it had been an amicable split (like Casey Kasem retiring and getting a new VA for Shaggy), I probably would have understood and kept watching (as I did for that Scooby series after Casey left--the only reason I stopped watching that was because the romance sideplots got too aggravating), but the 4kids VAs were treated very unfairly and that will forever have a bitter taste in my mouth.
Hmm, never watched the MTM show, so I can't offer much of an opinion, but I definitely prefer the Munsters to the Addams Family. No contest there!
