Because God forbid a character actually get to think for themselves in what is their own character episode especially when it comes to a solution that relies on their own area of expertise. Friede gets enough moments to show that he’s the leader within the main plot but the writers won’t even...

I’d say the problem even in that was, it wasn’t even Orla’s idea to do so but Friede’s. Even in a scenario where another character solved a problem in a way that only they could, it was because Friede gave them the instruction to. They could have very well removed Friede from the occasion and...

Seriously. It hasn’t learned a new move since episode 7 with Quick Attack. Meanwhile Fuecoco‘s learned both Stomping Tantrum and Flamethrower and Wattrel Spark since then.

It‘s a matter that, just as with Spinel, the writers placed them into a situation in which they could not prevail without, once again, having the pendant bring a Hero Pokémon in to help them like some cheap summon. Prior to this series where in all of Pokémon across its various medians, was the...

It literally brought out Arboliva against Moltres.

Problem there is that it seems like when the kids deal with something it’s not just that they get to deal with it and that be it. Against Spinel, they got to fight…until he then brought out Umbreon at which point Arboliva had to bail them out. They would deal with a hero Pokémon…but then the...

The way that I view that is that if it’s something that the adults or hero Pokémon had to bail them out of then the writers had no business putting them in that situation this early in the first place. It’s genuinely not compelling to watch the characters who are supposed to be the protagonists...

I’d feel better about it if not for the restrictive and overall safe nature of it. Sure we traded out weekly adventure for more story based but in turn we lost characters feeling free and now have them feeling like they’re on a kiddie leash with no real stakes because of the presence of the...

Care to give examples of how he gets bailed out all the time by others because that seems vastly over exaggerate. Also where is he “humiliated“ to make others look better? If you’re talking about his rivals, the entire point is having him face an opponent that’s a step ahead to build up to him...

Gotta disagree that the Ash era messed it up. While Ash may not have gotten to be the champion until SM, as a 10 year old he alongside others in his age range traveled around the world completely independently with him even confronting and thwarting numerous evil organizations from Hoenn onwards...

While I’ve seen people giving this praise all over, one thing I’m really not a fan of is the adult aspect of the cast. Whether it be Liko and Roy having to be chaperoned pretty much everywhere, having to be given basic tools for a trainer like pokeballs when catching a Pokémon because the...

Considering how much emphasis the writers placed on this being the path Liko has chosen, I don’t see them changing that. And while you say that this is preferable to getting a different flavor of Ash, that’s like saying that every character in anime who take similar roles are super similar...

“When necessary”. Yea I know that hence why I excluded Explorers conflict from the nonviolence. It genuinely feels like that’s the only point when we’ll get to see her battle. Literally any non battler in the past was shown to step into battle when it’s necessary. But battles haven’t always been...

I’m not a fan of the direction that the writers have taken with Liko. While I’m glad that she’s finally started to be more proactive, pretty much everything about her just feels like she’s type cast as the stereotype of a female. She started out shy, meek and unsure and often had to be the one...

Go: Ash, let me remind you of how you really are by perfectly copying a move that I’ve never seen before and in spite of me not even being a battler. Seriously, what were the writers thinking? If they wanted someone to break Ash out of his funk any of Ash’s trainer companions would have been a...

In concept, sure. In execution, it’s been terrible. Between far too many 1v1 battles, inconsistencies (like why was there a random 1v1 in the Hyper class? Why did we start the Normal class with 2v2 only for the majority to be 1v1 aside from Korrina at the end? How does Ash’s rank shoot far past...

Yea I’m pretty sure that’s the lore of the game that they were brought there by Hoopa from different points in time as well as dimensions, hence how characters like Lyra and Crystal can exist at the same time as well as why Red and Blue are teens despite the Alola cast being there.

I dunno. Sure Cinderace has been consistently around but I can’t really say it’s done anything particularly impressive since the end of the Darkest Day arc. With Go it doesn’t really get to do much and the rare times it actually gets action, it’s usually against things that outclass it like...

The funny thing is, the one time he did attempt it way back when Metapod was being carried away by Beedrill, he failed miserably. Dude probably gets wartime flashbacks to that every time his Pokémon is in trouble and is like “I can do better than a pokeball. Ash leap go!”

When it comes to girls in anime, they always come with access to hammer space.
