The original two were the best. The games didn't get bogged down with ancient powers of destruction, still told a very nice, arc-driven story, and the original 150 are and forever will be the best.
However, I never really hated the fact of Pikachu just being a Pikachu on the show. Pokemon isn't a typical "shonen" show, although the manga is very well done and tells the adventures of each game with different characters. The show is meant to stress the importance of confidence, although it's getting about as bad as Yu-Gi-Oh! dreaded Friendship Speeches of Ultimate Death, and teamwork.
And seriously, the manga's about a billion times better.

That's what makes the manga based on the games so good.
You've got the Kanto arc, which tells the tale of the first game with Red, Blue, and Green. You've got the Yellow arc, which bridges the storyline between the first and second games. You've got the Johto arc, which chronicles the adventures of Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Then there's the Hoenn arc, where Ruby and Sapphire promise to each other to win their respective challenges. (Ruby win all the Contest Ribbons in 80 days, Sapphire getting her 8 badges) Then there's the FireRed/LeafGreen arc, where Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver team up to take on Team Rocket and Deoxys, only for all of them to be turned to stone in the end. Then there's the Emerald arc, where Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Gold fight through the Battle Fronteir to defeat Guile Hideout, save Jirachi, and revive the others and most recently...
The current arc, Diamond and Pearl, where the two boys serve as a bodyguard for a wealthy aristocrat.
See, this is a good storyline in the spirit of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, where the torch is passed on to new heroes as time goes on.
