It's funny how far this anime has come with the lack of interactions that people get excited for breadcrumbs XD (Cinderace and Inteleon)
No, seriously, this is absolutely sad. And it doesn't help this came after SM with an excessive amount of interactions.
Unless you were one of Kukui's Pokemon, and yet his standard is sadly Journeys' standard, which is abhorrent.
The fact that it's taken 20 something episodes for two Pokemon on the same team to even so much as
Glance in each other's direction is one of the most saddest things I've ever seen
Why can't we have more interactions between Pokemon in this series?
There's so much potential.
And usually whenever we actually DO see the Pokémon in Journeys interact, we get Gold moments like this!
I mean seriously!
They showed the usually
Suave Inteleon, being Flustered and Nervous by another Pokemon admiring it! That is definitely not something that I'd ever expect to see!
Like this means that
some of Sobble and Drizzile's traits are still lingering in there! Like who would've thought?
God I really wish this Special wasn't locked behind Amazon Prime because holy sh!t We needed more moments like this in the Anime!
Ash's Team REALLY needs these kinds of interactions as well!!!
Like I said before Let these Pokemon have depth!
Heck I honestly have this theory that the writers believe that having the fully evolved Pokemon showing any kinds of emotions beyond battle bots will make them lose their "Mature Badass" factor. Look at what happened to Lucario and Greninja.
But honestly they don't realize how much more interesting that makes these Pokemon when they show their silly, akward, or unconventional traits.
