Poipole should never have left. It didn't do a thing, was released, evolved offscreen, and then brought back for one battle..... and then it's gone again. Poipole should have really stayed, look at that long gap before Ash got Meltan plenty of that time could have been used to further Poipole's development and perhaps even evolve it while facing Totem Kommo-o.
Incineroar's evolution; Honestly it should have happened way earlier, instead it happens as soon as the battle is over.... and he doesn't even get to battle. Then they have Kiawe and Ash finally battle, only for it to be Lycanroc and Charizard of all Pokemon?! Um.... why? Turtonator or Marowak vs Incineroar would have been way better, they're Kiawe's strongest Pokemon and it would allow for us to see Incineroar's new found strength.
Nanu and Giovanni. It was brought up and was one of the very few plot points that were actually interesting... and it literally went nowhere! Such wasted potential, could have been a way to finally give Anime! Giovanni some more backstory. Not to mention Gozu debuted and was hyped up.... only to never be seen again. It really looked like there was setup for Rainbow Rocket or for Team Rocket to have a big plot of some sort.... but Matori only appeared to try and get Bewear.... and that was it. Hopefully Team Rocket have a big arch this upcoming series
Team Rocket not seeing Tapu Fini's mist. Um.... they do know Jessie's mother died right? It's canon but never actually brought up in the series itself, and it'd be so refreshing to finally see the TRio's personal lives brought into perspective for the first time in well... forever. They even ditched James' family homes.... would have made sense for them to have one based on one of the other islands, no? Like Akala, the beach resort?
Ash and Kiawe's rivalry. It was hyped up all series(Unlike Ash and Kukui....) and the two didn't even get to battle at the League. Instead Ash battled Faba of all people, when in reality? Hau should have been eliminated first, then Kiawe, then Guzma, then Gladion. One of the TRio(Like James) battling Faba would have made more sense, given they had a rivalry with the guy
Hau. He really should have been around from the start, especially if they never planned for Rowlet to evolve. Instead they try and hype him up as Ash's rival even though the poor kid literally only appeared once before the League! Also, no Pikachu vs Alola Raichu was very disappointing.
Lillie not keeping the z-form outfit. The writers really missed the point of her outfit transition... it was so aggravating to see her go back to her regular outfit and for the z-form to appear a few limited times after that.
Dewpider. Lana should have really caught it, they practically spent that entire episode revolved around it.... and it didn't even return, even though it lived right next to the school. Dewpider should have been her second capture while Eevee went to Mallow
Shaymin. Mallow really ought to have gotten an official second Pokemon, Shaymin did hardly anything and then left like it was nothing.... That reason is why I say Eevee should have gone to her, Eevee(and potentially Leafeon) could have taken over as the restaurant's mascot as Tsareena outgrew the 'cute' mascot role she had.
Ash never getting to use a z-move with Melmetal and Naganadel..... really makes them look like they weren't as important as the rest of his team. Bad enough poor Torracat suffered through 100+ episodes without a z-move of his own
Team Rocket's z-ring. They literally got it just for Ash's trial, huh? Would have been nice if they got to utilize it more than they did
Team Rocket not getting jobs at the school, what is it with the TRio not being allowed to have friendly interactions with the cast nowadays? Instead they got random jobs around Alola.... which they could have done when school wasn't in session.
Oh yeah, and Ash's Alola team not getting to interact with his other Pokemon. It was easy to forgive Ash only seeing Bulbasaur, Muk, and... basically every one of his Kanto team par Kingler and Charizard, and none of the Johto -> Kalos Pokemon at the time since one figured Ash would probably get another lab episode at the end of the series..... nope! Yet again his team didn't get to interact with his old Pokemon, it would have been nice to see how his XY Pokemon were getting along(Cause they too didn't get a proper showing), maybe have Incineroar and Hawlucha become training buddies?
