    As long as it's a character episode I wouldn't mind if Ash is absent because it develops Goh. If his family life is fleshed out, all the better because there's no pretense to get Ash involved.

    They did that in AG, when Ash had Treecko, May Torchic and Brock Mudkip. It meant Ash had to explore other options from the Hoenn Dex for water and fire types. In fact, four regions thus far have had the starters divided between protagonists, only in Kanto, Johto, Unova and Journeys have all...

    I like how XY didn't need to resort to depowering Pikachu (start of Hoenn, or Zekrom in Unova) or resetting Ash's experience just to give him a challenge, same as Sinnoh.

Most matches have been almost afterthoughts, no more important than a random trainer Ash would battle in...

    Paul and his harsh training methods was pretty brutal for what we'd seen so far in the anime. Yes, characters had straight up abandoned their pokemon in harsh ways, like Damian leaving Charmander in the rain, but that was a Character of the Day as opposed to a main rival. Paul's attitude was a...

    Kalos was the first to break the tradition of the previous series female companion guest starring in an arc. Cilan is in one of the XY specials, but doesn’t encounter Ash nor learn some of the people he meets also travelled with Ash. In the Sun and Moon series it’s Misty and Brock who have the...
