Even for all those complaints, the handling of the Journeys team is so much worse. At least the SM team didn’t just flat out disappear for ridiculous lengths of time during which they pretended that Pikachu was Ash’s only Pokémon. Like, remember in the TR vacation episode where Ash and Go battle...

Honestly, that has more to do with them having plot armor than anything else. Given that the narrative is for Ash to fight champion level opponents, if you put any of his other Pokémon in their place, you’d get the same results.

What’s even worse is that the writers actually acknowledged that Gengar hadn’t gotten much usage in the show itself, thus showing that they were completely aware of the fact…only to still do nothing with it.

Can’t really give specific episodes but the point when you notice that Ash seems to only ever really have or use Pikachu in most episode, never once making use of his other Pokémon even when the situation would be perfect. You also see both onscreen PWC battles in which Pikachu is getting used...

That part with them shafting it in its first battle as a Quilava so that they could show TRio was just a sin agains writing in general. A Pokémon Ash hadn’t used in 2 generations comes back and evolves and they think that fans would rather see TRio trying to get sales than a Pokémon battle in...

And even then they’re either just used as a tool or for canon fodde.

What’s even worse is that really any time that we do have any focus on Sakuragi Park and the Pokémon living there, it‘s alway Go’s Pokémon while they completely ignore that Ash’s team lives there as well.

And even Lucario got shafted on even appearing for a good while after it evolved.

While you may say that moments in which the characters had their Pokémon out were essentially just moments where they weren’t doing much, these moments were points that not only would show off the Pokémo’s own individual personalities but also present their dynamic between one another. An issue...

Love to know what happens once the full battles start coming out. After all, Pikachu, Lucario and Dragonite have been carrying this team (and Dragonite hasn’t fainted once yet). Bet Goodra’s curse hits Dragonite in that situation.

That might be somewhat of a buffer for his Pokémon to get appearances but I wouldn’t really call it a very significant one. I mean, TRio weren’t always involved in a given plot in Alola, but the Alola team got plenty of spotlight. I’d say a major issue affecting their appearances is that they...

At that point I’d hope they at least start bringing reserves into the mix. At least they have solid foundation to build on that them being used against Cynthia would be believable.

I don’t really see how a lack of Galar Pokémon is a silly reasoning especially when it serves to exacerbate an issue that the series has with how much it shafted Galar in its native generation. The previous regions got their own dedicated sagas based in order to represent both them and their...

Without a doubt it’s one of his worst teams. While if you just take things at face value it may feel like an amazing team, just like with the premise of the series, it falls apart under scrutiny. -The team lacks any kind of innermost dynamic amongst itself with the Pokémon never really...
