Bonding over those big meaty claws.
It's not like the show or Ash himself ever even had anything that needs closure. He pursued battling while trying to be Pokemon Master and became the strongest in the world, the show can end at any time.I got closure when he beat Leon. He had nowhere to go as a character after that. This is an epilogue.
I think people wanted Misty and Ash to just be generically nice to each other or something, because apparently they're supposed to be too mature to have banter with each other or mess with each other, lmao.I really don't get how Ash and Misty were out of character, especially Misty considering it's pretty accurate to her SM and AG appearances even if it involves more her trolling Ash
Just because they had banter and a rivalry again doesn't mean they devolved back to their OS selves, if anything it feels like a proper evolution to that dynamic with the characters they are today
This episode was the BEST it could have been istg they did everything right

Ash losing doesn't bother me one bit but I can't wait for everyone to get salty about it lmao. Cmon now, it's not like Ash lost with the mons that made him world champion or he was incompetent during the battle. Corpish just needs more training. It's not like Misty is actually the world champion lmao, the loss doesn't harm him in any way and is the best direction the episode went
Latias following Ash is such a W I CANNOT wait until Ash catches it (he must at this point).
All in all this episode was so entertaining throughout. The perfect bookend to the closure, you know in between it got kinda bittersweet coz you can tell it's all building up to all this finally being over. Ash and Misty's dynamic is SO GOOD istfg it was so nice to see such a dynamic after SO LONG
My only gripe with this episode is that the other reserves besides corpfish felt really useless, esp when ep1 did a great job utilising all the reserves.

Ash being a smug little s*** stopped being a part of his character ages ago. I'm not complaining that he went back to it (personally thought he was at his best in OS) but I don't see why people can't complain about it being inconsistent...even though Ash as a whole has been inconsistent for years, and him being inconsistent is more consistent than him being consistent at this rate.I think people wanted Misty and Ash to just be generically nice to each other or something, because apparently they're supposed to be too mature to have banter with each other or mess with each other, lmao.
I also don't understand the complaint. Ash doesn't have the same dynamic with every single person.
Ash wasn't being a smug little s*it in this episode, he was just having fun with his good friend as they were teasing each other like old times. Naturally Ash and Misty will have this dynamic. Do you think once Ash passes a certain point of "character development", he just loses the ability to have fun with people and tease them? Is he supposed to just be generic nice guy with everyone? Lmao.Ash being a smug little s*** stopped being a part of his character ages ago.
Well its your opinion that a closure needs a building up. Especially if you know it's a kids show.>A bunch of episodes where a character does a bunch of random sh!t not building up towards anything is supposed to be a closure
Lol nice epilogue you got there…
They're pandering to OS nostalgia by having them act like they did in Kanto. I'd complain that neither of 'em are acting how they should, but Ash's character has already been mangled so badly that he's like 11 different people now.
The way people act around each other changes as they get older, just as people themselves change. Hell I'm pretty sure I remember their interactions being different in SM as well, this almost feels like they went back to OS for a bit.Ash wasn't being a smug little s*it in this episode, he was just having fun with his good friend and teasing each other.

Yeah lol this makes zero senseAsh being a smug little s*** stopped being a part of his character ages ago. I'm not complaining that he went back to it (personally thought he was at his best in OS) but I don't see why people can't complain about it being inconsistent...even though Ash as a whole has been inconsistent for years, and him being inconsistent is more consistent than him being consistent at this rate.
