I don't have high hopes the the comedy-driven SM doing anything that significant with their characters BUT they may surprise me yet. I admittedly haven't been keeping up with episodes for a bit now but I'll probably be checking these out.

Well I understand people like the SM series and that's fine; to each their own and we all have different tastes. But I was specifically talking about character designs there moreso. Even though I don't care for the SM series I understand its positive points, but the character designs aren't one...

I think it's fair to worry about anything from previous series being contaminated by what SM has done to the franchise. Their designs are already bad enough.

I wouldn't be surprised it they completely retconned his career as a doctor and just put him back as a gym leader at this point.

Misty and Brock have never looked so bad in their lives. I'm positive other previous heroines will appear at some point and get the equal horrible S&M designs as well.

I for one enjoyed X&Y far more than Black & White and the Unova region in general, but that's just me. Looking back on it now I can see why people wanted more out of gen 6. I fell off the franchise for gen 4 and 5 and didn't play Black until after ORAS and XY but felt while the story in BW was...

All gameplay and little to no story is what got me bored of this franchise in the first place causing me to fall off for two gens. Gen 6 and 7 got me interested again so I for one appreciate heavy story. I can understand having periods with just game play a bit more I suppose, but I think it's...

Yes beauty is subjective. I always found May, Serena, and Dawn cuter than Misty for example. But it all depends on the person and what their personal tastes are. Nothing wrong with feeling either way here. For me, though, personality plays a big role, so I won't judge the new characters, male or...

Hmm, my general experience dealing with other fanbases has been pretty negative so I tend to try to avoid them more often. Hopefully those sort of things you described happens less around here.

Episodes that focus 100% on Ash by himself are the most boring in the series.

If the opinions of others bother you so much, you shouldn't bother interacting with the fanbase at all. Like it or hate it, there's a reason many people prefer XY over what we're getting for SM, and I think those opinions shouldn't be ignored even if you don't agree with them. Likewise there's a...

In three years someone needs to make a new thread with SM as an option. Also you shouldn't let your interactions with fans affect how you objectively judge a series' quality.

Having one line stating such in the episode is not equal to actual character progression if it's not really focused on or shown.

In my eyes Pokemon is always an adventure/battle genre before anything else, just like the games the anime is based off of. The biggest mistake with S&M's anime is taking an excellent adventure story from the games and turning it into 30 plus episodes of Ash sitting around scratching his butt...

X&Y may not have adapted every game event exactly the same but it sure as heck felt like a proper nod to the game compared to what we're getting right now. I can't speak for Diamond & Pearl or Best Wishes because I didn't actively watch the anime at all during those runs.

I think the key here is what I watch Pokemon for and what you probably watch Pokemon for. I'm a more casual viewer and I don't find most of the comedy in this series that appealing so the slow speed we're moving is just overall unappealing to me. I'll rephrase it in a way that is hopefully not...

Is it really a crime that those of us who liked the engaging story in the games want Satoshi to stop dicking around after 20 plus episodes and get into the meat of what Alola can really offer?

I completely understand if people enjoyed episode 13. Again, there's nothing wrong with fillers existing for the sake of entertainment and comedy. My problem is when something is sold as something it's not. Think about it. The majority of fillers in previous series never tried to tell us they...

You're free to feel and believe what you want, but I don't see how you can stand by the argument for this case. Other than that 30 seconds at the end, nothing of any importance happened whatsoever in that episode that had any impact on the story, characters, or adventure at all. The 30 seconds...

What happened is the writers brainwashed you into thinking it wasn't an episode with people running around for 20 minutes by adding a 30 second clip that had something of relevance happen. And that scene was repeated in episode 14, which means you can actually skip 13 and not miss anything...
