Too Long Don't want to read, ignore my post, that's fine.
Don’t see why people can’t have both mentalities as if they’re exclusive to one another. And people will just move on to wanting Ash to get another Pokémon
Not sure what the two separate mentalities are here, as my comment was relating to the same type of mentality or an example of said mentality.
Do you mean the mentality of just shrugging off Ash getting Lucario (which was the primary mentality I was talking about) and the mentality of constantly complaining about how someone doesn't want Ash to get Lucario, every chance they get?
Because otherwise I'm not seeing two different mentalities here.
And if that is the case of (shrugging shoulders and moving on and complaining about something), I'm not saying people can't have these mentalities, it's just going to be (in my opinion) going to be infinitely more annoying to have to listen to complaints, and sometimes it gets even worse like with Youtube and lots of comments when it becomes more about "Complaining about complainers" which thankfully due to the small traffic here, it can't quite reach that levels of bad, that you just see mostly people complaining about people complaining, which gets annoying when it overshadows the complaints, right now it's pretty even for "Ash getting Lucario" "I don't want Ash to get Lucario"
I'm just saying the silver lining is that people can finally shut up about Ash getting Lucario for those who dislike Lucario. And for those that who like Lucario with Ash......Lucario with Ash. I'm just pointing out how fruitless excessive complaints are, you don't like Ash with Lucario, okay fair enough, but outside of JUST that, what does it matter? Is really hoping the egg turns out to be Sobble going to change it or was it Sobble to begin with for example?
Because at least this series would've proven one thing at least: If Ash doesn't get a specific past generation Pokemon now, he's never going to get it, the exception MIGHT be regional variants, but outside of that, all hope is lost. For example outside of a regional variant, I don't think Ash will ever get Golett/Golurk, and that makes me sad because its description (Golurk) made sense for it to be Ash. Any of the Pokemon Go caught, Ash will never catch, again outside of regional variants.
So hypothetically speaking, if Ash doesn't get Riolu/Lucario, this series is saying "Ash will NEVER get a Riolu/Lucario" unless its a regional variant.
I already have to give up believing Ash will get a Phantump, since it doesn't suit this new Ash, it's too late for that, and even if somehow Ash does get Phantump and evolves it, I just have no faith of it actually happening. All I can hope for at this point, which will probably never happen is Ash getting Impidimp and evolving all the way to a Grimmsnarl.
I can settle for Corviknight, I guess, but that's not looking likely either, and god knows what they will actually give Ash in terms of 8th generation that isn't even a starter, because the starters aren't looking good. Not saying Ash can't (or I wouldn't want Ash) to get Rillaboom or Inteleon but it is technically an easy boring choice, it just would ultimately mean they've concluded that Ash will never get anything else in 8th generation.
All I can really look forward to captures is Pokemon like Dragonite, Gengar, Riolu/Lucario, perhaps even Tyranitar/Garchomp (Gible evolving all the way)/Chandelure (maybe). I don't know. Who knows what Ash is getting after the egg hatched Pokemon. And if it's not Riolu/Lucario and its a Sobble, then what? Riolu/Lucario end up on Go's team, and we're back to nothing again with Ash except having to wait until his magical egg hatched Sobble somehow quickly evolves into Intelleon, which I don't know if it makes any sense to be honest.
I just don't know, since 5th generation (Golett/Golurk), Ash has never really caught Pokemon that I really wanted. Riolu/Lucario was 4th generation but I gave up on it, Black 2 White 2 gave me hope but then they crapped on that idea by giving it to a character I despise (not because they had it but for everything else wrong with it, Riolu/Lucario was just icing on the cake, I could live with icing on the cake and be fine if the cake wasn't just constantly infuriating), but the point is that killed any hope I had of Ash getting Riolu/Lucario because they focused more on current generation Pokemon concepts.
So I'm....happy enough that Ash MIGHT get Riolu/Lucario......finally.....but I just overall don't care (only because I had to dwell on this at the moment which is depressing me), because at the end of the day the Pokemon I really want Ash to have just aren't going to happen, and I have to settle for less because that's how things are.
I just have to shrug my shoulders and hope everything else is fun and exciting. And I don't even know what 9th generation will look like. Do I even want to know?
