Short of just not appearing at all, I’m not sure how much worse things could get than what the writers did with the starters here. Even having a rival having one would have done more for the starters than Go has.

What’s worse is that the offscreen development like that only serves to shine a spotlight on forgotten onscreen development from it. Like, what ever happened to U-Turn that it learned as a Sobble which had been there as a means of adapting to its timid nature? It seemed like that was given to it...

That or it’ll just be doing its regular mischief and hit someone with a stick and suddenly evolve on the spot with the writers justifying it as that it was gaining experience from hitting things.

You know, the worst part is that you just know that there’s gonna be people going wild celebrating this on social media when it happens acting as if Go actually did anything to earn having all 3 fully evolved starters rather than having it handed to him on a silver platter. Meanwhile Ash...

Really shallow reasoning on the writers’ part if you ask me. At the end of the day, they seriously decided to, for the first time in the anime’s history, have all 3 starters fully evolve and they gave them to the guy who not only never actually trains his Pokémon onscreen but who doesn’t show...

Maybe but when has Pokémon ever been known for such a thing? Plus the fact that Pokémon just so happens to pull that kind of thing out at the same time along with such a big to al shift, it ends up feeling pretty suspicious.

Plus added to that, a major object in both series at that time is a special watch that relies on inserts as well as some of the more cartoonish looks for some of the monsters.

Honestly, I get the feeling that it comes down to the format that they chose for Journeys being incompatible with the Pokémon anime. What it seems they’re trying to do is basically turn it into one of those serialized kids anime akin to the likes of Doreamon or Yo-Kai Watch where there’s a...

Charmander, prior to evolving, was one of Ash’s most used Pokémon who not only helped Ash in multiple Gym Battles but helped with captures. It even had moments of showing its bond with Ash, both believing in him when they were separated and even keeping him warm even when pushed to its limits...

You can try to make the claim that it was meant for comic relief but when it comes to a head with the ramification that it cost Ash the league and Professor Oak even chimes in about, the point is made clear. At that point in the series, Ash didn’t take training his Pokémon seriously, skirting...

Thing with Charizard though is that the purpose of it evolving wasn’t for itself but was for the purpose of Ash’s development by giving consequence to him not properly training his Pokémon and his Pokémon growing faster than he could manage. And even beyond that, the writers didn’t exactly...

While it might be premature to cast judgement, at least to me, taking longer than 86 episodes in order to bring something to the table to change people’s minds about the treatment of the starter Pokémon of all things kinda highlights just how badly they were handled. Heck in the case of...

Plus as a Pokémon Ranger, they could have shown off him working with Pokémon from across the Pokédex without making captures feel cheap or ending up with so much background fodder that Go’s captures turn into.

Well I wouldn’t say that Cinderace isn’t popular or really outclassed by Inteleon. Rather the 2 are both insanely popular (though then it kinda goes off a cliff for Rillaboom). They probably were caught off guard by just how popular Inteleon turned out to be though I still stand by that they...
