While it's understandable that being denied entry when he was allowed into all the other missions would come as a surprise, Goh isn't allowed to participate in his PWC matches so I don't get why he was so disappointed about not being able to insert himself into Goh's goal. He clearly saw Asahi...
dang this was heat. This episode did a great job at providing insight into each of the characters, such as highlighting the differences between Goh and Tokio. Interesting to see how all aspects of Goh's character were touched upon such as his analytical and logical approach, tendency to get...
Just wanted to mention how awesome the COTD/new rivals' designs are. I've always been a fan of shonen style designs which is why BW and XY's character designs are my favourite. Glad to see they're returning next mission, it would have been a real shame if they were just one-offs. Definitely my...
Oh yeah, I just remembered I never responded to this. I took a look at your list and assuming by Shinjou you're referring to any Takuranke episode (since Shinjou only returned as AD in the last stretch of SM) and by the last few years you mean anything XY and newer, I only counted one rotation...
He's only missed #103 in JN so far and one or two Takuranke episodes from SM and XY but I may be missing a few from XY. That's almost nothing unless there's something I'm missing.
That is a very good question, and now that I think about it it's possible he started working on some of the specials earlier and the remaining ones later (around the time #106 was in production). I noticed the characters in the last 2 specials had a slightly different look from the first 2 but...
Asada said on twitter than he couldn't work on the recent Team Rocket episode because he was already occupied with the Arceus specials, meaning that this batch of episodes was in production around the same time as those specials. Looks like we're seeing that in effect now with no Iwane episodes...
Why would Giovanni need a bunch of kids when he has an elite team that has a flying aircraft with the ability to turn invisible... who were defeated by a bunch of kids on multiple occasions. The Project Mew crew really hasn't given me any undercover villain vibes but there's definitely a lot we...
I rewatched the episode now and while I was mistaken about Iris teaching Draco Meteor to Dragonite, she did go out of her way to get through to Dragonite's heart, no? We can't say for sure what the outcome would of been if she hadn't have reached out to him, but Dragonite was clearly exhausted...
I'm confident the climax of Ash vs Leon will get the treatment it deserves but I don't think we'll get anything to write home about until then with the possible exception of a few episodes like the Project Mew finale, and presumably Ash vs Cynthia and Alain if those are in fact the matchups we...
Nighty night, Dragonite
Just rewatched the episode and my opinion has changed a bit compared to my initial thoughts. This was actually a passable battle, with the upper hand being traded throughout the fight. Flygon was tossing around Dragonite without making Ash look completely helpless as I...
