If anything, Suicune got the short end of the stick: her TV appearances was amount to nothing, and her role in the movie was very small.

In The Little Big Horn, Brock formed a deep bond with a baby Stantler, which clearly showed signs it wanted to stay with him. But instead of accepting it, Brock acts uncharacteristically cruel by loudly driving it away. I know he wanted it to live with its kind, but they could've easily pulled a Lapras and have Brock own Stantler until they found its herd. They could've even had a moment where Stantler struggles to decide whether it wants to go with its herd or Brock. But no. Not only does Brock miss a potentially promising capture, he even actively drives away a Pokémon that had formed a bond with him.
I have seen that episode and I feel like Brock was being loud more so to make it clear that he wanted the Stantler to go.As sweet as it was to see Brock bonding with Stantler, I could see why he didn't capture it. They just did the whole temporary capture to return a young Pokemon to its group plot point with Lapras. It wouldn't have been exactly the same since Stantler wasn't abused, but it still might have been too similar, especially when the Lapras' release was still relatively recent by the time that episode aired. Not to mention Brock's OS team was already full of pretty forgettable Pokemon. Vulpix had a pretty good debut and kind of fit with his goal of being a breeder, if only because it was given to him by a breeder he admired, but it did virtually nothing while it was with Brock. They could have possibly done more with Stantler if Brock did capture it, but Brock had better teams when he had fewer Pokemon on them as opposed to nearly a full team.
They could have done without the whole yell and pretend to dislike a Pokemon to make it go away though. That just felt more like a cliche rather than being uncharacteristically cruel.
But Koharu should recieve a new Pokemon and people laughing off at the possibility of her having one aren't constructive?Considering he barely done anything with the pokémon he already own, I don't see much point in him catching it.
1. Takeshi already had many different pokémon.But Koharu should recieve a new Pokemon and people laughing off at the possibility of her having one aren't constructive? If you're arguing Koharu could recieve a new Pokemon and develop thanks to it, there's virtually no reason to say the same could not have happened with Brock if he had recieved that Stantler, by your own logic.
Said she in a thread thread called missed opportunities.2. Past is already written and done, future is full of possibilities.
What? You're the one who bring up Koharu here to made me explain the difference between those two cases.Said she in a thread thread called missed opportunities.
I'm glad that Brock never got Stantler cuz the guy didn't get much screen time anyways. I wish Misty had gotten a Wooper though. I always hated Corsola and would've rather seen Misty with that no-armed little blue thing. :3

I was hoping the dub of the Pokéball factory would have Meowth refer to Pikachu as a "pikablu" after he got painted by the machine. No such luck, sadly.This is a pretty minor one, but in the XY series episode Making Friends and Influencing Villains!, there is a brief scene where the group encounters a Diglett and a Dugtrio. What was a missed opportunity here was that they could've referenced the (in)famous "Diglett, Dig! Diglett, Dig! Trio, Trio, Trio!" chant from season 1, but they didn't. Not in the dub, at least. Such a shame.
The Alola league was a HUGE missed opportunity. Well first of all watching Ash win was very unsatisfying since his only strategy was just to counter with counter. It’s almost like he didn’t have much of a brain. Perhaps that was the kind of behaviour they wanted to encourage. That anyone can win if they persevere enough. Melmetal was incredibly boring and Torracat basically had no role to play in the league. It was also annoying how Kahili was introduced specifically to be part of the Alola league though she didn’t even make it past the first round. She wasn’t even shown battling! Sophocles making it that far was also incredibly boring cause he didn’t have any pokemon to showcase, made worse by how nobody had any interest in his rivalry with Kiawe before hand. Hau was also introduced way too late for any kind of emotional attachment to his match.
SerenaToAlola said:Well some good matches was Mallow and Lana. The Guzma matches were also good.
Overall the big problem is the lack of pokemon, and the lack of training, something prevalent throughout the series so it was hard for it be any better but I think it could be fixed with some changes to the match lineups.
Could have something to do with the anime originally being planned to last for just a single season.I still don't understand the reason some Gym Leaders in Kanto were treated as COTDs, or the reason Satoshi earned the two of his badges (Rainbow and Gold Badges). Come on, how making a Pokemon laugh grants you the victory? And for what reason Erika thought that Satoshi deserved the badge by running into a fire and saving a Kusaihana? This last one's a pretty popular opinion though.
GS Ball was full-on executive meddling, so you could blame the executives on that one. Not sure about Ho-Oh, but considering the anime started airing the same month GS were revealed it might have been a marketing thing, one that only Japanese people got.OS's filled to the core with wasted potential and missed opportunities. Going from the most obvious ones such as Houou and GS Ball to a better use of both Kasumi and Takeshi and more screentime for Shigeru.
