To me, if they did add in Ho-Oh, it would feel more of a check list, than an episode. Similar to how Misty and Brock left here.

also lolThere is not a universe where they conclude their characters saying anything other than “ii kanji”
Well, you're wrong now. The final episode wasn't that bad because we have Ash's Pidgeot return and rejoin his team.A predictably lame ending. This is exactly what I expected yet I'm still disappointed.
Fanservice is Fanservice. I wouldn't have cared if not a single old character came back in this miniseries as long as there was still some interesting development for Ash. Ash and especially Team Rocket didn't get the conclusion they deserve and that's my main problem. Ash is the World Champion but nothing in his life really changed because of it and Team Rocket are still stuck in an endless cycle of failure that they deserve better than. And no amount of "Hey, I remember this character from when I was a kid!" can make up for that.Well, you're wrong now.

My problem with Team Rocket is that I don’t consider them going after Pikachu their defining character trait. To me their defining traits are that they are tenacious to a fault, and they are meant to be together.Fanservice is Fanservice.

It was a huge missed opportunity because Type: Wild is pretty much made for stock footage. They just choose to put MPM-only scenes there for some reason.I just finished the episode. I was fully expecting this kind of ending, but I wish they had made it seem a bit more "grand"? I would have loved a montage ending showing various important characters one last time. Once Type: Wild started playing that's what I expected but then...nope lol
I try to stay positive but I won't deny their story was a bit underwhelming. That said, I don't see it as any more or less "pointless" than the rest of this episode, since they're simply reaffirming their status quo just how Ash is reaffirming his. But it was certainly rushed and I think it could've been handled better if they had more screentime in the previous episode.What is the point? Why did they give them such forced conflict, and then such rushed reunion? You may say it is to show that no matter what they think, do or feel, they are meant to end up together, but don't we know that already? Such weak and rushed writing decisions just made it into a really awkward situation. If I were a hardcore TR trio fan, I would have been really disappointed.
I think some people are forgetting Ash already saw Ho-Oh back in JN136. Perhaps they didn't want to rehash that scene too much since it happened so recently, so they stuck with the rainbow only.on the decision not to show ho-oh, i wish they did. i think a ton went into this decision; of all the details in this episode, i feel this might be the one the most thought was put into. but i honestly don't know why they decided what they did.
I think what people were hoping for is an answer to why Ho-Oh kept passing by Ash. At a certain point, coincidence just doesn’t explain it. Overall, I would have rather had Ho-Oh in place of Latias if that’s what it took to get that particular answer instead of relegating it to a final tease followed by a somewhat clickbait title for the final episode.I think some people are forgetting Ash already saw Ho-Oh back in JN136.
