The forementioned "Pokemon 2000" film was absolute dire!


There were other Japanese anime series like “Dragon Ball Z”, “Monster Rancher”, and “Digimon” that late Millennials and some Zers were watching on TV at the time.

Some things I liked from the year 2000:

- Seeing Christina Aguilera everywhere in the mall shops and listening to her songs.

- Little known adult cartoons like “Mission Hill”

- Watching “American Pie” on cable and reciting the lines with acquaintances of mine.

- Being hyped to see “X-Men” in theaters (which I did)

Yeah, that was certainly an awesome era for cartoons, still a continuation of the 90s as far as that goes, at least until cartoons tarted to take a hit quiality wise later during the '00s.

Kids WB was at it's peak, and you also Cartoon Network at it's peak, Fox Kids still being relevant, and Nick still very good, as some it's '90s era shows were still making new content, and they had some quality new shows that premiered around then, too.

Also, for video games 2000 was an amazing year. FF9, Spyro Year of the Dragon, Pokemon Gold & Silver, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon. Awesome year.

Great year for TV, too. A lot of great new shows premiered, like Yes, Dear, Gilmore Girls and Malcolm, plus you still had the big NBC sitcoms and other major '90s shows still on TV.


I agree. To people in my generation Pokemon was everything. It may have died out to guys around your age in 2000/2001, but for us it was still widely popular upto about 2003/2004 with the first 5 original seasons airing on Kids WB (and on syndication on Cartoon Network). Along with the 1st three generations of the 'GameBoy family' of consoles, including Gen 1 (Red, Yellow, & Blue) on GameBoy, Gen 2 (Gold, Silver, & Crystal) on GameBoy Color, and Gen 3 (Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald) on GameBoy Advance. Also, the cardgame was still pretty popular, although more in a collectable kind of way (YuGiOh owned the cardgame 'dueling' in the playgrounds back in the day 8)).


I was born in 1997 and I remember all of this. I went to go see pokemon in 2000 when i was 3, that was the first movie I remember seeing in theaters. I also remember seeing Rugrats in Paris that year too. Also Who let the dogs out by Baja men was a song I would never forget. My mom was so tired of that song lol everyone at my pre k sung the song lol.


Lol yeah 2000 was a pretty good year for me as well! I relate to everything you're talking about, I also happen to have seen Rugrats in Paris in theaters as well, being the first movie I've ever saw in theaters :). And yeah, you can't talk about 2000 without mentioning 'Who Let the Dogs Out' by Baha Men ;D.

That song was basically everywhere in 2000! At family barbecues, functions, weddings, etc. etc.



I was 3 for most of 2000. I remember those, not when they first came out, but in 2001+ due to their lingering popularity.

That also makes me wonder. Should we label references based on when they premiered, or when most of its shelf life took place? For instance, should Ed Edd n Eddy (1999-2006, 2009 movie) be considered a 90s cartoon because of its origin, or a 00s cartoon because of the main bulk of its original run?


Yeah we're around the same age. Yeah a lot of these trends were still around in the 2001-2003/4 period. Yeah for me, I've always looked at the majority of the time span of a certain trend's popularity (be it a fashion trend, a cartoon, film series, etc. etc.). A perfect example of what defines the entirety of the Late 90s/Early 00s being The Matrix film series (1999-2003). Ed Edd n' Eddy is definitely a 2000s cartoon on that note, it aired most of its run (including most of its iconic episodes) in the 2000s, particularly the early 2000s. Btw, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays:

With a trailer for Digimon The Movie being one of the first things to pop up ;D. Anybody a fan of that back in the day?

This is from the year 2000. Although I started watching Cartoon Network more consistently by 2001, I'd still watch it here and there at my cousins houses or when we rarely had cable in our house on a sporadic basis prior to having cable more consistently after 2001.

Now waiaminute…the 2000s after 2001 is back in the day?  :o

Basically, in the early 2000s, Millennials were trying to hang on to everything they loved in 1998. Problem is that the rest of the world was trying to move on. That’s just what we all did. Millennials, as a result, had to go forward with the rest of us and then we all miraculously arrived in the 2010s. Well, at least, that’s how I remembered it.
