Maybe. After all, there's a reason 11-minute episode formatted shows are in vouge, and have been for the last decade or so.

Yeah, if anything, doing these two-episodes-in-one indicates they have loads of ideas, including ones that fit nicely in an 11-minute format presentation.

To add to where you point out the availability of the respective series' staff and directors, consider also that voice over availability factors into this. Alola being the most recent means that its voice actors are the most reasonably accessible ones were in the various Japanese Pokemon series...

Making up one's own headcanon for one's own personal use is one thing. But making a headcanon and then passing it off as empirical fact, all for the explicit sake of disparaging something, is no good all around.

I admit, I am surprised to hear you say this. (You, specifically, as I did not peg you as one of those types.) This is kind of an insulting, sweeping opinion to have. Isn't it? It sometimes feels like I'm the only one who still unambiguously and unironically loves and enjoys this franchise. :(

I'd love for them to find a way to put Brawly in, so they can showcase him in his ultra-cool OR/AS appearance.

Are you serious? As much as AuraChannelerChris has shown their lack of communication skills and tactfulness in tone, with everything they post some kind disrespectful sarcasm, you felt the need to ignore the wider context and defend them? Nevermind the very real and very frustrating fact of this...

Whenever I see similar comments about the "lack" of "development" for Snivy, and always in the context of her past, the same realization comes to mind. That was not the point. That was never the point. Any specifics regarding Snivy's past was irrelevant. What mattered about Snivy was the...

How so?

Still can't get over what was up with that scene.

Haven just watched the newest Coco trailer on the official Japanese Pokemon YouTube channel, without any context from being able to understand the language, I saw Ash hang up the video call on Delia... And I'm like, "I know that boy did not just hang up on his mother!" For real, what was the...

It interesting that they finally made this Pikachu episode. And, I'll even say it was still overdue. 'Cause it really was.
