Comparison's sake, maybe?

Yeah, this is what I meant. I kinda feel that they forgot that Hau existed at first, not helped by the fact that the SM looks like they were picked because they were the first characters developed.

Give it time, although I feel it will end up like Hau.

I guess this explains why they decided to give Jimmy Ethan Gold a Pichu in the manga.

I would have preferred the new kid to not have a Pikachu, but that's more due to personal bias. Other than that, continuing with a new character instead of forced resets would have been good. Maaaybee keep Ash during Johto, since I agree with some of the criticisms during OS, but after that...

In my case, it was school and having two TVs that were always in use.

I don't remember that that much. Then again, I accidentally skipped a lot of Johto back then, to the point I was "when did Ash get a Phanpy?"

I guess this is why they had to change Clair's personality in the anime, otherwise we would have gotten Erika 2.0.

To put it simple, after more than 20 years following the franchise, seeing Ash lose, Oak his Pokémon, go on another badge quest (while losing to at least one early leader), get some pals, catch at least one starter and one Flying Pokémon, go to wherever the conference is, lose again, rinse and...

On the other hand, you're exactly doing the same thing that they have done for more than twenty years, to the point it's a borderline running gag. Hell, it was one of the reason Pokémon is the one non-dramatic series where I'm starting to feel darkness-induced audience apathy. Seriously, I would...

Not exactly. While technically he got a light punishment for his actions in SM and for causing the Team Rainbow Rocket incident in USUM, I think demoting him to the bottom was a worse fate from his point of view, seeing how he borderline considered himself the most important member of the...

Considering that my reaction to beating someone is mostly confusion instead of happiness, I can understand it.

Which episode was that? I need to watch it just for that one scene.

Did she just use a toucan as a frickin' bazooka?

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.

And the funny thing is, at least two things from Spaceworld made it into the anime: the fake Prof. Oak (or was it during OI?) and Gary mellowing out and working with Oak (since he was the one that originally gave the starters). Not sure if both were an accident or if they were recycling ideas.

Specially considering we don't know exactly what happened in DP's development, considering they started revealing Pokémon way too early (Munchlax was announced May 2004, while DP was revealed... June 2005?) with no game announcement in sight. It's kinda like what happened with GS, but more...

It's possible, along with why she also received a Squirtle.

I think the Flint the Time Detective villain trio already did this one.

Team Aqua used Crawdaunt in the anime? EDIT: I forgot about Team Aqua's debut episode.
