Re: Pokémon Best Wishes Series 2 Dekoroa Adventure! (April 25th)
I just find it odd how out of character this makes Ash seem. In every other series he'd immediately be looking forward to the next challenge. However in Unova he didn't even try to battle Marlon or Drayden, even if it wasn't for a badge, he'd always test his skills against random Gym leaders. And now he's heading through an island with no goals in mind? I can't help but seem the writers forgot the competitive streak of Ash's character that went on up until the end of DP.
Either way, I sure hope this arc is actually interesting and not just a chunk of fillers to waste time till Gen 6.
Indeed. There was so much content in Black and White that really hadn't been given a proper airing in the anime. While I'm glad that they did at least give us a small Team Plasma arc, I'm disappointed that the World Tournament never got a proper showing. Especially when they're showing themselves willing right now to bring back old characters.
