Pikachu Meowth Charizard Bulbasaur and Squirtle Jigglypuff Mewtwo

Yeah, not everything needs to have some over-arching narrative to be considered good and fun. MPM is fun IMO and the set up is actually what I wanted for PM. It feels like this was one of those ideas they may have kicked around when brainstorming for the next series and decided to go in a...

Simple storyline that is hard carried by the character dynamics. Pokemon at it’s best.

Gen 5 still sold over 15 million copies. It may not be the most popular generation, but it was by no means a failure. The reason they focus heavily on Gen 1 is because of branding/marketing. The roster has gotten way too bloated and they don't expect new fans to know every single Pokemon. But...

Yeah. It is the fourth episode. I think nuzamaki90 is probably right (Originally, I thought it would be a Brock centric episode). But Gary returning in episode 4 and basically kicking off the main storyline after the reintroductions of Brock and Misty makes sense.

Even earlier then that. By the start of Johto, she pretty much mellowed out. Her and Ash don't really argue that much since they have grown up a little bit from traveling together for so long.

Politoed the goat has return!

Lmao. No offense, but cry harder. The anime this past year barely did anything concerning the first series when it comes to nostalgia.

It isn’t the same at all IMO. Fans have been wanting to see an Ash and Butterfree reunion for years. If they were doing a Butterfree episode then they definitely wouldn’t have included that scene. You will never get the same reaction as the initial one.

They definitely will cover everyone at the ranch at least.

Squirtle rejoining Ash’s team (alongside Bulbasaur and Charizard ) would be pretty cool.

Yeah, I think this is a Brock focus episode. That would make sense since Cilan gets the spotlight in the 3rd episode with Brock being kidnapped.

Maybe Tracey will finally get a speaking role in the eventual lab episode.

They probably didn’t go into this series thinking it would be Ash’s last series. I think if they knew this was it for Ash, the companions and even old Pokémon would have been handled differently.

Love how my man Brock dropped his DP attire for the OS one.

This. Even with Ash, AG was the only time they gave an in-universe reason. After that, they just never bother.

Ash was a fully-fledged character by the end of the OS. Your AG example was essentially the Drake episode in which Ash was cocky all of sudden and that goes away once he loses to Drake. But other than that, he is largely the same as he was in Johto. Your DP example didn’t even happen. Ash just...

Eh, sort off. Penny uses the eeveelutions, not regular/partner Eevee.

Eh not really. Ash stopped growing as a character once he regained Charizard’s trust. He has largely been static ever since.

Yeah, I don’t think cutting down the amount of episodes means eliminating filler. For starters, Pokemon isn’t a plot driven series anyway. It is episodic. So filler doesn’t really exist in this type of show. However, less episodes could mean ideas don’t get spread thin. So we could potentially...
