No, it is 100% interchangeable. Exchange Bond Phenomenon with Mega Evolution, then Greninja will have story arc of Mega Evolution, there won't be a Bond Phenomenon story arc. It may had tried to master its Mega Evolution in the same manner as Korrina's Lucario. Instead of going to Ninja Village...

Plot hole nor Deux ex machina are not the right name for this Ash-Greninja gimmick. Calling it now! The supreme name of his majesty: MacGuffin!!! And this is not just a normal MacGuffin. This is a MacGuffin that abused the Rule of Cool, made itself into The Chosen One by injecting Common Mary...

"Maybe" is not a good enough answer. I do understand by definition, "Mary Sue" shouldn't limited to only fanfic. But in reality, you will never or very occasionally once in a blue moon saw non-fanfic reader used this word of "Mary Sue" to describe any character from any commercial fictional...

I think it is unfair that this word of "Mary Sue" is used only to describe fan-fiction, but never used to describe canon or original works that are aired on TV or drawn/written in books or designed in games. Badly designed characters that causes distortion of narrative gravity is not something...

Out of all the scenes within Pokemon fiction, I just love the most in writing out Pokemon Battles. Actions are wordless, hence it is a challenge in writing out such intensive actional scenes. And because of that, battles is the best place to examine a writer's skill in the application of "Show...

I didn't bother too much on this issue either. Because in my fic, human characters travel between and came from different regions, so for handheld pokemons of trainers, I just let them have whatever pokemon as long as it looks appropriate to the character's trainer level and personality. For...

I was quite creative in new story creation even when I was young. But the first time I ever open a new word document and start writing down my original story idea and truly devote into writing the story out, was began from the time Pokemon Anime stop airing in the TV channel of my residing...

Although originally I didn't incorporate intentionally any specific trope in my fanfic writing, but because my story planning inspired a lot from Japanese animes and games, where they are notorious for over-repetition of certain stereotypical tropes, so sometimes when my writer's mindset is off...

Although I'm physically a women, but some times ago when I took an online gender test, the result reveal my thinking pattern was being completely neutral androgynous. Well personally I do admit I don't really behave like any girly girl nor feminine woman. And that reveals in my writing where I...

"Regression" is the wrong word. Ash Ketchum is "flanderized" into an exaggeratedly one-dimensional hyper-active idiotic children. Was he such a hyper-active idiotic character back at OS? Well, I wouldn't completely rule it out, because he was indeed an academic idiot shown at The Ultimate Test...

And that's the reason which make everything so contradicting and implausible. The more the Anime insisted this is part of a single giant unique continuity, the less I can continue to suspend my disbelief. Besides, if a story is well-written and well-constructed with events logically flowing one...

Comparing SM to XY(&Z) is like comparing dollars to doughnuts, two completely incomparable items, and I think it is unfair too, because basically everything is different. Only the fact that this is a Pokemon-based Anime and having a character named (not behaved like) Ash Ketchum being the...

It was really a long time since the last time we had any talk...... I still came to Serebii occasionally to check any new Pokemon info and for any new discussion where I can participate. But I found such threads less and less, to the point of I couldn't post anything for weeks or even months. To...

When credits is truly deserved, credits will be given without begging. When something is underappreciated, there must be some reason that prevents ones to give out credits. Azerolf just mentioned an important fandom phenomenon: Many people misinterprets Pokemon's inner messages behind its...

There exist criticisms that are target-demographic specific which is inappropriate for adults to debate, but there also exist criticisms that are ageless that can be discussed by everyone and anyone regardless of age of audience. Story plot consistency and the meta problems such as those...

In retrospect, I think the writer(s) and director board had made the biggest irredeemable mistake in choosing TR rather than Misty. For villain characters, each regional villainous team can do the work, hey they even developed some original villains like Hunter J. So if there need conflict...

I never ever considered PokeSpeak is a form of "language". More correctly speaking, it is not any syntactically translatable language in terms of linguistics in the sense of those languages developed and spoken by human beings, where there exist a methodical system in grammatical structure and...

I don't think anything you had ever wrote was rubbish text. Most of the time I think you rather just very accurately hit the nail on the head. Though I guess because of that, very few people can find any words to counter your statements, not even me (well because I agree with you most of the time).

Hi. May I add you as friend? I think our thought are quite similar as I basically agree with everything you posted in the Pokemon Anime section. I like to be friend with someone that has an in-depth understanding of story-writing and metas of this franchise.

I know this show must feature the Pokemon species for advertisement purpose, but why it must be only one single focused pokemon for each episode? Can't we stuffed like two our even three focused pokemons into one episodes? Then we really don't need +100 episodes for each region, 50~80 is already...
