Japanese version of Pokemon: Superior to the English dub?

As many of you may appreciate, it's not such a good idea to publicly announce that you collect pokemon DVDs, especially when there are a load of anti-anime people in the surrounding area. I for one do not like the English version, but the un-dubbed version may be better, as is often the case. So, I would be very pleased if someone would tell me if the Japanese version of the Pokemon anime is worth getting, and if so, where I can get it. Thanks!

It's much funnier, since the Japanese aren't as afraid about putting a little more "adult" humor into a children's show. But other than that....it's still Pokemon.

Thanks, I was imagining that would be the case. As the storyline must be quite similar (Just with more death/sex/hideous maulings), I probably now won't buy the Jp version (As if anyone cares...).
In any case, I'm not getting Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'll just stick with Inuyasha. Good old half demonic dog-man...

I actually saw a few episodes at a recent anime convention. They were funnier and worth seeing a few of them atleast. I dont collect the shows but do watch them and I'am Poke'mon game and anime fan. So i suggest atleast looking for some japanese episodes to watch. and as of where to find them *shrugs* try checling e-bay lol

I saw a bit of the manga once, and that was very different.

Of course the original version is better than a foreign dub. Always. Even if it IS pokemon.
