I wouldn't call the 20th movie an example of disconnect simply because it was an alternate universe with an alternate Ash (the same way that Batman has multiple incarnations of himself in various media). Disconnect to me would be something along the line of continuing an old story but have no...

It's more of me highlighting a particular problem with keeping Ash, specifically the same Ash from the original series. Do we rely on nostalgia and keep him the same, develop his character into newer territories, or maintain a generic personality that doesn't change? Where would you take Ash...

And to what extent will they stay interested? That kind of casual viewers do not stay for long. And given how long and deep Pikachu and Ash have been embedded into pop culture, it won't be long until casual viewers who do get interested start looking into Ash's background as a character. It's...

If they have no Internet access that is. Suffice to say, it's not that difficult to find all the bread crumbs and piece together patterns. And let me tell you, once the audience starts catching on to patterns they don't like, the negative impact can be real and serve. It already happened once...

We have a broken base on that series. Some want it to be a longer and an actual series while others criticize it for various, nit-picky things. In regards to be geared to older fans, there has been one major issue: Many older fans have grown up with the original anime, and many (including...

So we are back arguing about old characters and if they would make the sales for the main anime. Predictable, but I would like to add my thoughts on the matter. Nostalgia is no substitute solution to improve ratings. It may be nice to see old faces again, but without good stories or character...

I never said that the final product will have a good story, but I am interested in the very premise as that has been something I wanted to be addressed in one form or another. That's more than what I can say about the past three movies of Pokémon. And I have no intention of letting nostalgic...

What are we to expect from a movie then if a series can cover more ground with the artist technology we have today. And really, I may be for nostalgia but I prefer a good and central story about the main character first and foremost. Because that is what determines a movie's quality for me...

That's one of the issues with revisiting old nostalgia, there's always a desire to fix old sins. Would anyone want the return of pity badges of Kanto? Or would they rather have Ash earn them legitimately? As for the team, I believe there was a poster that featured seven prominent Pokémon out...

From what the movie synopsis stated, Ash's search for Ho-Oh starts once the Rainbow Wing starts glowing. And considering how underused Ho-Oh was in the original series, it's an adventure worth exploring and worth a movie about. Why wouldn't Ash want to find the very legendary Pokémon that he...

The thing about this movie is that it lets you know you are not dealing with the original Ash from the very first preview. Why else would he have a different symbol on his hat? And considering how iconic the original symbol (to the point they include on his backpack), this tells us right away...

If the decline occurred between Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice and Genesect and The Legend Awakened, then I suspect a nostalgia backlash might be the culprit, considering that the director openly stated that the Mewtwo was a new Mewtwo and not the original. After all, wasn't that the original...

I have considered that. Which is why I also mentioned one at a time, and not the massive wish list of all the characters and their goals. But I feel that Sun and Moon is not the best series to do so. Mainly for tone and design. After Professor Oak's awful haircut design, I would rather hold...

I never mentioned the 20th Movie. I just said a reboot is more preferable to me than trying to bring back old continuity to fit with the new series (it gave me a headache with comic books). It worked for Batman and the franchises from the 80s.

Nostalgia is a very potent ingredient for any kind of work, but as comic legend Stan Lee puts it: "Every comic is someone's first." If there is too much emphasis on old fan service, newer audiences may get overwhelmed on who's who and what events they are referring to. It's part of the reason...
