    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    I disagree completely. There's more to Serena than just being the girl with a crush on Ash. I'm not surprised that people still have this misconception about her character. For better or for worse, kissing Ash in the XY finale pretty much cemented her crush as one of her defining traits among...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    One of the reasons why Axew bothered me so much is because they handled Piplup relatively well. If they wanted to make a powerful secondary mascot, they already had a decent blueprint on how to make one with Piplup. They didn't have to make it uber powerful with giving it broken moves right off...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    As bad as Piplup's attitude towards Cyndaquil was, I think calling it a narcissist stealing from a newborn baby is a bit excessive. It certainly can be annoying and I did dislike Piplup during DP's initial run, but I still find it to be better after rewatching the series over the years. I think...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    I don't know if Lana getting a special Eevee would have made her feel like she got that much more special treatment compared to the rest of the SM cast, especially when it took so long for her to get a second Pokemon, but since people were already considering her the writers' pet, that probably...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    I can understand that. Even during DP, it was getting harder for most of Dawn's other Pokemon to really get much attention and it still baffles me that they never gave Buneary a fourth move. Even if they didn't want to evolve it for some reason, giving it a new move would have been relatively...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    That's perfectly fine, but I was talking more about how Piplup has been received among fans over time, not just one person.

    Pokémon Evolution/Capture/Release Thread

    Ash almost always had a full team with every series, something that we can't really sure of Liko at the moment since she is not particularly battle active. I really can't picture anyone in the cast having more than three Pokemon at most. There are other ways to showcase Sylveon without giving...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    Grookey I could see getting votes for since it did virtually nothing, but I'm not sure about Piplup. People definitely didn't like it during DP's initial run, but I think it got more love over time. Piplup may be annoying at times, but it was a good secondary mascot, had a good bond with Dawn...

    Rachael Lillis

    I was really worried it was something like this. It's so sad and heartbreaking to learn that she can't walk due to the cancer spreading to her spine. Rachael Lillis did a terrific job as Misty and Jessie back in the day. I truly hope that she can make a full recovery.

    Pokémon Evolution/Capture/Release Thread

    They'll probably do something with Team Star. I'm not sure if they'll adapt the whole storyline. Even with them being in Paldea for awhile, I don't know if they'll cover that storyline within that time frame, but they've always included the evil teams in the anime, even the not really evil teams...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    I think that using Goh to complain about Ash not interacting with Serena is a pretty big stretch. The point of the episode was showing how Serena had progressed off-screen. They didn't need to have Ash and Serena interact with each other to do that, so blaming that on Goh doesn't make sense to...

    Least Favorite of Ash's Traveling Companions

    I don't really see how not traveling with Goh would have helped Ash rank up quicker, especially when he climbed the ranks extremely fast as it was. They were already halfway through the PWC before the end of Journeys' first year. Chloe also rarely actually traveled with Ash and Goh. That was one...

    Pokémon Evolution/Capture/Release Thread

    I don't think that Liko needs an Eevee to be on her shoulders when she already has two unevolved Pokemon that could easily fit that role. While I'm sure that they'll have some Legends Z-A promotion down the road, I don't know if they'd give anyone in the case a Sylveon. All of the Eeveelutions...

    Controversial opinions

    As much as I would have loved for Jessie to get a better sendoff as a Coordinator, I really love Zoey vs. Nando. It's easily one of the best Contest battles, if not the best Contest battle between AG and DP. It's one of the reasons why I think Zoey ultimately deserved to win the Grand Festival...

    Anime & Manga General Discussion

    I wouldn't say that Ash's story is over exactly when he didn't get a definitive ending. He's just continuing his adventures off-screen, so showing one of those adventures in a movie wouldn't be a stretch or difficult. They could easily have it be AU Ash instead if they're really worried about...

    Anime & Manga General Discussion

    That must have been some rumors because I haven't heard anything about any Pokemon being in development. While I could still see them making new Pokemon movies eventually, I'm still not sure about them using Liko and Roy as the main leads. I think using Ash would be a bigger draw to a new...

    Controversial opinions

    I don't remember TV Tokyo promising a trip to Hawaii for those who guessed who was going to win the Alola League. Considering that this was Ash's first major victory in over a decade, I don't think that news outlets reporting on it was that bad or out of touch. I've often said that the Alola...

    Controversial opinions

    I don't think that they would have had any characters trying to negate Ash's Alola League. While I agree that winning a Pokemon League on easy mode doesn't really make Ash a Champion level trainer, there's no way that the writes would have tried to negate that victory in-universe. Even if they...

    Music "Will" - IVE - Pocket Monsters (2023) Opening 3

    The songs themselves don't really do much for me. Maybe I just need to listen to them again or something, but they didn't really stand out to me, especially compared to the second opening theme. The visuals are pretty great and I love the focus on Paldea. It kind of made me think that this is...

    Review The Pokemon Journeys Review Thread

    It's hard to say how much the pandemic affected Journeys' production. They did take a hiatus for a few weeks initially, so that could have affected some of their plans, but in terms of the length of the series itself, I think it's pretty unlikely that was affected. Even if the pandemic never...
