On the subject of the new character reveal of "Friede"... I never liked how English translations always either replace character names or change the spelling because it's "easier to say" or "makes more sense" or "is more relatable". It just feels like getting rid of the culture and especially...

Technically speaking, having a goal to work towards doesn't exactly correlate to a good dynamic between characters. You can have characters play off of each other without them having a specific goal to strive for in that series. I was referring more to the way the trio interacts with each other...

Ash has always had such a huge lack of personality to me, even way back at the beginning of the series, but now it's just even worse in my opinion. The issue isn't him not "being snarky" anymore, but rather that it feels as if some authenticity to his character has been lost. The reason a lot...

Honestly, as someone who loves Serena as a character, I think people can acknowledge that Amourshipping is one part of her character. It is annoying when people ignore everything else about her, however, because as Serena grows throughout the series, her crush on Ash just becomes another part of...

I'm not sure if a lack of references necessarily contributes to his fluctuation in terms of character. I think it's more so an issue of miscommunication among the staff: case in point, the fact that some characters are written in specific ways during some episodes depending on who is writing...

Hey, you and Ghost are actually being reasonable about your mentor picks. My imagination is so unbelievably and absurdly wild that I ended up imagining Unfezant becoming the mentor for Greninja. :p

Then we could just call those "popular" pokemon or "marketing pokemon" or anything that people won't use as an insult towards those who like said pokemon. I've personally always seen "shillmon" used in a negative connotation, which is why I've never been particularly fond of the term. Most...

You know, now that I think about it, does Serena interacting with Ash automatically have to mean Amourshipping? I'm saying this because I just think it's silly that some people tend to assume that Ash and Serena interacting in any capacity automatically means it's shipping bait. Yeah, sure, the...

From where in her story and character arc in XY do you get that impression? Let me put it this way. A good way to tell how important something is in the overall narrative of the story is to ask: "what would happen if x were to disappear or simply did not exist at all?" In this case, that would...

I still find it upsetting that people dumb down Serena's character into nothing more than that stupid kiss and her crush on Ash. Absolutely nothing relating to her crush should be preventing her character from returning. There is a clear and obvious path for Serena to return in Journeys, but for...

I just don't like the gym formula because I think it's boring. Sometimes it isn't even wanting the anime to change, it's just as simple as preference. I watch Pokemon for two things: the pokemon and the crazy or meaningful adventures that the cast goes on. Both are present regardless of if there...

This actually reminds me, but is it really necessary for Ash to have an "ace pokemon" for each saga? The only thing I see that comes from this term is pointless arguments and speculation over how majority of Ash's "aces" hogged spotlight and development from their teammates or debates about...

Sure they may know about this stuff, but they generally don't care. Also, there's a difference between a small crush and actual love. Serena has a crush on Ash and it was treated like a gimmick for the most part. The gag itself didn't center around Ash's inability to pick up on her crush but...

...okay, how, though?... :oops:

I mean, if we're talking competent TRio, then SM Team Rocket were treated as such for the most part. They were pretty threatening there, not to mention how many of their appearances were actual quality and weren't there just to fill the runtime. They added on to the series itself, while in BW...

I'm not sure why Buneary's crush on Pikachu is a major factor preventing her from evolving, though? The whole gist of the gag was that it was awkward, so if anything, Buneary evolving would help it, not hurt it. Also, considering how Togekiss went from as tall as Dawn to up to her knees, I...

This has nothing to do with your actual post, but you are a very considerate person, lol. That's not even that much writing to me, but you put in the spoiler tag anyway. I just write 2000 word essays without a thought lol, but here you are thinking of some random user across the globe...

I'm not too big a fan of SM either, but you have to give credit where credit's due. Alola ties in the family theme throughout its narrative like a work of art. It's a fun, loving, adventure story that really feels like it reaches out to its target demographic. There isn't as much traveling as...

I mean, we're also used to Ash's pokemon being treated like actual members of the cast...

I disagree. SM Ash was looked into as a character far more than JN Ash has been so far. SM Ash was put in unique situations that he never was compared to series past and developed a never seen before love for an actual region. He was treated like a normal kid in SM compared to the rest of the...
