If you're complaining about Liko spamming leaves, then I hope you lot complained back in Kanto/Johto that all Ash's Pikachu did was Thunderbolt/Thunder with a side of Quick Attack/Agility.
Not sure that’s quite the same. While Pikachu did use Thunderbolt a lot, Ash at least had a team of Pokemon that he used so battle situations weren’t always the same thing for over 40 episodes. With Liko, it’s been her using Sprigatito constantly. Variety prevents these things from becoming monotonous.
I feel like people underestimate how much they do use Quick Attack. (And scratch is mostly useless in comparison)
You’re omitting context. Back then, that was during Gen I where a Pikachu largely only could attack with electricity. A lot of moves hadn’t been introduced yet nor had movepools been expanded. We are in Gen IX now, where those limitations no longer apply - so, of course the expectations from viewers are wider.
I give it 5 episodes before Coral goes kid-friendly, Pokemon equivalent of a school shooter.
How could there not be? How else can they terastalize?
Of course, I just have low expectations on the amount of battles we might actually get to see.
I mean, the entire point of this arc is for them to get stronger and er saw from the previews that they’ll be battling gym leaders and Liko will be battling Anne. While I’m sure there will be other things going on, the point of this seems to be a very battle centric arc.
When Friede complimented Liko and Roy's progress in the latest episode, he specifically brought up Sprigatito's evolution and Fuecoco's wide array of moves. So it appears this distinction between how both starters are getting stronger is intentional from the writers/producers (not saying that this is a good thing, just pointing out an observation that I've made).
