How long should it be before Lillie "steals" Nebby?

@QueenEeveeThe only problem is Ash imo. He seems stupid and is a good for nothing. It's like he's just doing things cause it's ~*fun*~~!! :mad: QUOTE said:Actually that's why I think alolan Ash is the best Ash since...years, maybe even Hoenn In XY he was so...dramatic and serious...it was boring for me
Hahaha. Yup, the Story is good for enjoying. I do love the episodes for all of Lillie, Mallow, mamane, Suiren (Lana), Ash, and for kukui hakase. To me, all of Serena, May, and dawn will made a really good time with these friends. I do love this season for enjoyment time.@may-serena-dawn
I think the same- I really enjoy this season cause it is funny- it is something you can watch when you're tired and need some rest- and maybe reminds me a little bit my beloved OS
Not helped by the fact that Ash at that time had an IQ of an incredibly dirty, mouldy, washed out cucumber that's well past it's sell by date.Although this isn't the best attitude, it's way better than throwing a tantrum for not being chosen to battle as he did in the Nimbasa Gym in BW.
One of the long-lasting issues for me in the anime was that outside of Pokemon very few characters seemed to have a life. Characters tended to be very goal-oriented and few of them had interesting reasons for wanting to achieve those goals. Every trainer wanted to win so they could be the best. Every coordinator wanted to win so they could be the best. Everyone just wanted to win and I gradually stopped caring. Goals are interesting when a show explores why they exist and why it matters so much for the character, but Pokemon rarely does this (does anyone know why Ash wants to be a Pokemon Master?).
There is a problem with M20- it's different universe so it is hard to say if SM is related to M20.Hahaha. Yup, the Story is good for enjoying. I do love the episodes for all of Lillie, Mallow, mamane, Suiren (Lana), Ash, and for kukui hakase. To me, all of Serena, May, and dawn will made a really good time with these friends.

But one important question. I do thought about that the new movie will be for the past of Ash, which means it similar to Special Episode. Yup, I do saw pikachu when it was jump to the names of season when the all first pokemons from all seasons come in the first 20 seconds trailer, but I still thought that this movie will be like a special episode, however when I saw the pokemon marshadow, then I surprised
So the important question is this: "Is the movie for new season, or for such as a special episode?"
I fail to see all these layers people write about when reviewing characters from the Sun & Moon series. What trait do they have that make them so special? Seeing them doing mundane stuff doesn't make their personalities better developed.
Each character from previous series had a set of traits that had nothing to do with their goal of becoming the best in their field. Take May for instance, she loved to travel and sometimes when exploring a new location she would pretend she was hosting a show called "May's Expedition." Also, whenever one of her friends said they were hungry, she would suggest a fancy restaurant or something. She also liked to go shopping. These are all characteristics displayed by people in real life who like to travel. And it has no correlation with May being a Coordinator.
The thing I want people to understand with this post is that during the Advanced Generation series we were shown different sides of May's personality coupled with her goal to become a Top Coordinator. In the new series the main cast members either have no goal (Sophocles) or have a silly one and do absolutely nothing towards it (Lana) and so we only see them doing ordinary activities. The writers are actually delivering less content than they used to instead of "better developing" and flashing out these characters.
We have episodes in which these characters are shown doing house work but that's hardly something new. During the Twinleaf Festival Dawn was shown helping her mom wash the dishes and Brock was seen gardening outside. Admittedly these things were sporadic, but I'm not watching a show in which the characters have pets with fantastic powers because I want to see them emptying their trash cans and taking out the garbage.
This whole "SM characters have more layers" is a fallacy. Shall we compare Clemont and Sophocles to prove that? Both are blonde inventors that specialize in Electric-type Pokémon. Clemont is mortified whenever Bonnie tries to find him a wife and he is not very good at running. Sophocles is afraid of the dark and uses his Togedemaru as a night lamp. What makes Sophocles a better character here? They're both terrible.
Absolutely agree with this. That is why I like how they are developing the characters this time round. They are adding depth to the characters by showing what motivates them. Mao's family and how it motivates her to cook, Suiren's and Kaki's family etc. What the characters do are not simply gags like Citron's science gag, Bonnie's marriage gag or even May's expedition gag but rather something that is grounded in their personal experience. Even the Pokemon have a lot more depth.Popplio's bullying, Rowlett's family, Litten's story especially. All the starters got pretty good development so far. They didn't just randomly appear in Ash's life one day.
I don't agree with Ash benefiting though. It feels like he has lost sight of his goal.
Kiawe having a family is somehow better than Brock, Misty, or May who had developed families? That's one example anyway.
What exactly does that mean?I think sometimes it's better when character is undeveloped than when it's developed bad...like Gary.
He had three episodes that focused on him. More than other SM characters.Sophocles has the least amount of focus thus far
It means after Johto he became an ordinary, boring character who didn'T do anything special- in OS Gary, besides with Brock and Misty, was the most powerful, independent character.What exactly does that mean?
He had three episodes that focused on him. More than others.
There is a problem with M20- it's different universe so it is hard to say if SM is related to M20.
Ohhh questions...Well, nice answer. Really, this question should be the question of this year; because it is so important, and so difficult to answer. I don't have any clue of what should this movie be. Is this a movie, or special episode? Is this movie, and the characters are really with ash, or new girls who want to know his story? Is this related to SM, or not?
All these questions, and I still didn't have any answer, and I didn't find any hint for answers also. Also, why mallow, suiren (lana), mamane, lillie, kukui, and kaki aren't there?
Really this question should be: "The question of the year"
I don't understand, what part of my post are your responding to?
