    I keep saying this. People who praise the show for being realistic ten year olds etc is such an odd thing. This is Pokemon. The franchise that has ten year old kids go on their very first adventure with dangerous monsters and defeat champions after a few weeks of getting their starter. Who TF...

    I don't think liko is a bad character but I think she is very messily written

    I agree . It's the just the common internet trope of introverted= shy, smart, awkward Yeah I agree. Liko isn't bad but not interesting. I think my issue with Lillie is that the stuff surrounding her (pendant, grandma, volt tacklers, chasers , Rayquaza) are interesting but her character itself...

    I just feel like she is a bit passive in her quest to find about the pendant and compared to other characters, I find her not as interesting tbh. Her introspection is nice, but she doesn't really draw in attention like characters such as friede and amethio. Her character archetype is something...

    Thank you for saying this, I'm tired of people calling her introverted when she really isn't lol. She is just shy and low confidence. But that doesn't automatically mean introverted Introversion is just your battery being recharged when your alone (to simplify it). Liko doesn't seem to get...

    Liko is a tad bit uninteresting And some calling her deep and complex are clearly watching a different show imo

    AG and DP sure. XY? Nah I can't see XY Ash trying to fist fight a kid for bumping into him like AG Ash did lol

    But your missing the point still I believe. The ideological struggle should make him act differently. This isn't just Ash losing and getting back up. This is a trainer who basically tells to Ash face that the way he trained and befriend Pokemon makes him weak and Paul was absolutely right to...

    Either way it sucks. Theyw ere willing to change lusamine so drastically from the game. Idk why they couldn't do the same for faba. Him being around the kids will always bother me

    Controversial opinions

    TR would of been a great example for this plot. But let's be honest, the moment they neutered lusamine and forgiven faba for some odd reason I knew the whole found family/abusive family wouldn't be touched upon And if it was the resultion would probably be crap. Like how Lillie PTSD and trauma...

    They show evil family but they always are forgiven in the end etc

    Controversial opinions

    I still think the aether arc and especially the whole lusamine and Lillie conflict was done pretty poorly. Especially as the latter is basically the overwork parent trope where the child is 100% in the right etc. What's worse is we don't really see how their relationship changes after the whole...

    Also no one is saying Ash can't be wrong or anything. But there is a thing as a consistent characterization. You don't just disregard that just because "they are kids lol". If Ash threw a tantrum and cried he wants his mom, would you be ok with that because "well he is a kid?" The issue with...

    Controversial opinions

    I just think there is way less restrictions now that they have a new lead. With Ash there is a constant way to find how to make each win and loss feel interesting after being declared the world strongest With liko they can actually do the underdog story without nerfing or writing weird...

    His nerf isn't as bad as BW, but the fact that he should be WAY more experienced and knowledgeable is a problem in itself. You may not have an issue with it, but many others and the writers themselves clearly did. Imo if your handicapping a character in any way constantly, then it's not you...

    Controversial opinions

    I mean they themselves said they nerf Ash and change his personality to fit every series. I'm gonna take their word for it And Ash story ending with him beating a league which many people have done before isn't a proper conclusion in my book. Like handy man said Ash wanted to be the greatest...

    Why can't it be both. I don't think it's fair to say that the writers were just tired of Ash. It looks like both. They were tired of nerfing Ash and they also realized this is where his story should end. It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. To me it does feel like Ash needed closure. Just...

    Controversial opinions

    Not really. The fact that the staff admitted they basically nerf him in some way shows they themselves were having issues with writing him. They got away with it (sorta) because winning a league is something they can do constantly and an easy end goal to write for the anime. Also idk, it sounds...

    Yeah it's about the journey, but it's been 25+ years already. Ash having closure doesn't suddenly mean I'm the anime isn't about the journey. That's why people put up with him losing 7 leagues and some resets. The staff deciding to end Ash story doesn't suddenly mean the destination is what's...
