Which isn't a real goal as they haven't even explained why they're so interested in the White Ruins
Which just leads to the obvious next question: Why are they so interested in Reshiram? Ash has never had his goal be focused on a particular Pokémon. If they knew about Ghestsis' plans to control Reshiram, that would be a different story. But as of right now, their motivation leaves a lot to be desired.They want to meet Reshiram. Pay attention.
I was well aware of that without your pointing it out. My point is that it is a poor explanation, official though it may be.Maybe. But that IS the entire explanation.
I guess this prooves that the postponed two-parter isn't postponed anymore, but instead officially banned.
It's nice to see that Team Rocket's Blast Off is officially back.
Holy shit. This episode was awesome!
I don't see how trying to collect badges/ribbons/symbols is the only thing that constitutes as a reason for traveling.The main problem with this saga is that Ash and co. don't really have a goal. They just happen to encounter N and/or Team Plasma every now and then.It's Johto with evil villian plot instead of gyms as key plot points. Regardless, nothing but filler inbetween to pad this out to October.
It isn't, but Ash has only ever been driven about battle-oriented quests. Everything else has been a matter of being in the right place at the right time. When he takes a break from that in favor of something else, I expect to see the thought process behind the shift in direction, which isn't the case here.I don't see how trying to collect badges/ribbons/symbols is the only thing that constitutes as a reason for traveling.
You do realize that by this logic Ash has a reason to revisit every region, right? There are quite a few legendaries that he hasn't seen yet outside the movies.YamiiDenryuu said:It's been a thing for quite a while that Ash wants to meet as many people and Pokemon as he can on his journey, as last mentioned (I think?) in the Sawsbuck photography episode. Going to see Reshiram and the White Ruins is a perfectly good reason for him to keep traveling around Unova.
And it's never been confirmed that either of the Victini movies are "canon"... or which one of them is, for that matter.
It's still a valid reason, it doesn't mean he has to revisit them. It just means he can if he wants to.You do realize that by this logic Ash has a reason to revisit every region, right? There are quite a few legendaries that he hasn't seen yet outside the movies.
In other words, it's a forced plot device.It's still a valid reason, it doesn't mean he has to revisit them. It just means he can if he wants to.
