The games also give the implication he is older. Maybe not by a lot, but definitely older.

I think this situation has been there since Alola... And winning there was the least bad outcome. Just imagine the backlash if he lost against, say, Gladion...

Decidueye was considered, though. My guess is that it wasn't included because it was added to Pokken instead.

My guess is: Whoever commissions the manga (TPCi?) doesn't really have foresight... Considering they more or less said Blue was made pretty quickly, using the front sprites that were going to be used in GS (but for whatever reason not the back sprites), I wouldn't be surprised.

I also disliked Shudo's plans. A lot of them sound like dark fics or just don't... fit. Was it necessary having Ash give up? Was it necessary the weird "three strikes and you're out" system leaders had? Was it necessary making it a crapsack world?

Why didn't they do this before? EDIT: I mean, having actual evolution animations instead of just the white light.

...And this is what happens when you overlook the plot hole you caused by moving around characters. I have nothing against Wallace, but I feel his focus should have been elsewhere, or at least done in a way that didn't cause Juan to be unintentionally unsympathetic (how come I never noticed...

Or Lorelei with Water Pokémon. I wonder if that's why they made Misty her fan in the anime (and later the games).

Yup. In fact, the only non-Flying type he has was added in LGPE, and just as a reference to Clair.

In fact, now that I think about it, Lance is more a Flying-Type specialist than a Dragon one.

Why do I feel Ash could have served as a sort of mentor to Wally?

It sounds more like a sarcastic meme to me.

I have seen people defending Journeys, not so much with Grookey.

At this point, I'm starting to question if the Grookey hate is actually controversial...

Executives said something about Ash needing a power up to show his bond with Greninja or something like that was what I read. If it wasn't for them, Ash might have gotten a Mega.

And you said what I meant. Maybe it's because Pokémon doesn't have traditional arcs (except the League or other main events), but there generally where a lot of gaps.

Am I the only one that saw the anime as extremely episodic even back in Gen I?

So in the end, Alain was really like Ryo Akiyama... sigh

You know, now that I think about it, I... actually agree with the bad timing of dropping gyms? Judging by how the Galar League is described I guess it might have been the one league that Ash could have challenged after beating any other league.

Didn't Marina take part in a Pokémon League? If so, she's more like an (offscreen) Nando.
