A filler saga in the Pokemon anime is a saga that fills in the time between two major sagas. It doesn't mean that the events are suddenly irrelevant like those of a filler episode.

lets not start this...lol
Come on what? What should have happened really? Ash just rushes off to meet N? As already stated, this episode will probably set up where the group goes from here since the league is over. Ash probably went back to her lab because that's the closest way back to kanto obviously, it's where he started his journey after arriving in Unova.
No it's true. While the non fillers generally increased in quality, peaking in DP the best filler are all in gen 1. except a few treasures like Piplup up and away!

It's true. Sorry.
The way ConUxie was talking made it sound like he was saying of course we would see fillers in a filler saga meaning the saga is filler in the way we usually use the word.

Hush, keep it down
Let's see if they actually explain what on Earth is going on with TR or just make them magically reappear like nothing happened.

Totally agree. This episode is going to set in motion everything that will likely happen during the rest of the N saga, making it important if for no other reason as a starting point.

Erm, uh... um... hmm... what? When I say filler saga I dont mean episodes that have no meaning I mean that they are the bridge between two regions so... when I say that its an oxymoron to call something that is in nature always going to be "filler" thats what I meant. Episode N is the filler saga because it takes place after the league just like the other two filler sagas that were the bridge between Kanto>Johto and AG>DP were :/ Dont get so antsy over terms that can be misconstrued...
Hikari! We dont know what else this episode could hold D8 It could have Team Plasma being seen for the first time on-screen and tell us what else Ash will be doing in this marketable crap fest!
What should have happened is that Ash and friends should have continued their journey and then encountered Looker since he's the one who has been following Team Plasma's movements and would therefore be in a better position to explain what Team Plasma is and what their plans could be. I have no idea why Juniper's lab was chosen as the starting point again; it's redundant given that she shouldn't have any real information to share with Ash and even if she did, she could have contacted him via video phone.

...like a said. Its likely filler.Hikari! We dont know what else this episode could hold D8 It could have Team Plasma being seen for the first time on-screen and tell us what else Ash will be doing in this marketable crap fest!
YOu can make the logical assumption that it is mostly filler.
...thats not what I dislike.
I dislike the cynicallness of it. Like they atcually expect there not to be a filler
Honestly if it wasn't for charizard I don't even know what is the point of all this.

I am not getting angsty. It just seems like no one can have opinions about episodes here without you bashing them.....

If I may say so...
"Its true. Sorry."
Is a nice way to get backlash...:/
No. The level of enjoyment is basic, therefore if you enjoyed it more, its basically better this way (that type of filler) or that way (This type of filler)...Which is what I kind of keep trying to say.
ALSO.
the cynicallness of the comments are not helping ._....calling it filler is one thing, but immediatly putting it down is another...its like half the people on here. xD

Call me Robert guys
Lol so the professor oak episodes were filler, got it.
And again I already said he's going back there so he can plan his next move. Looker or whoever just appearing right at the league when he loses would be even worse. It's what Ash does, he's not gonna keep wandering the region just hoping Looker or someone appears to throw his life in danger like you imply. Sorry but that would be redundant.
