Exam to the Unova league saga "POTENTIAL SPOILERS"

[Eievui-Nymphia]

This is from BW001 to the Lucario episode. This doesn't include Episode N. I'll find right discuss this because the Unova League is ending in 2 episodes.

This thread is to evaluate the Unova saga. To have opinion son it, things that ike, things that don't like it, things that should be better, things that should be fantastic. You can discuss all of these.

My opinion of the Unova league saga is a 6,5. I'm about to give a superior note some weeks before but the League is making lower my calification of it. Although I liked that Best Weshes is a faster-paced saga and broke many rules that the series had in past years (the last one: Ash won't leave the region after the League). But sometimes appears that the saga goes too fast, some battles are underwhelming and some storiues are bad deverloped .

Its probably the weakest league overall, although I loved the Stephen battle.

The league is only 5 episodes long, officially making it the shortest one. On top of that, Ash only has 3 on-screen battles, which is ridiculous. Lastly he only gets ONE 6 on 6 battle, compared to the Hoenn leagues "3" 6 on 6 battles, and Johto and Sinnoh's "2" 6 on 6 battles.

Also its obvious the writers had no faith in Trip, which is why they just got rid of him early. Also if Ash really does regress in rank down to Top 8 again, its absolutely disgusting.

I think I'll wait till the league actually ends before I give an opinion on it. ._.

Those who choose the last option would be pure haters. Best Wishes may have done few things terribly, but it still has good episodes. The League itself maybe super short, but the 1-2 battles are good. By giving a 7, I say they didn't do well. A lot of amazing plot points have been wasted, but it was still decent enough to watch.

After the controversial resolution of Sinnoh, from Dawn coming second place to her rival to Infernape dominating the screentime for Ash's team to Tobias having legendaries for no adequately explained reason, I thought that at least the journey itself was memorable. It's amazing how little of Unova has left an impact on me. It's introduced more characters than could properly be developed and has regressed Ash to a state largely devoid of wisdom. I can live with him being dumb, but forgetting things he has learned time and again. There were all the events which should have been monumental but weren't. Team Rocket's handling was also downright awful in my opinion.

I give it a generous 7, because it seems as if the show is what it wants to be. Following Sinnoh with this reminded me of when they followed Digimon Tamers with Digimon Frontier.

Well, the league isn't done yet so I'll wait before actually giving my over all opinion on the thing. So far, I consider it the worst league ever! My gosh, lets look at the pros and cons here;

Pros..

-Ash V.S Stephan battle
-No Team Rocket screen to take up fights
-Trip {Who is my least favorite of the new rivals by the way} Getting knocked out earlyXD

Cons

-Filler over watching one of Ash's fights in the league, really?? Why couldn't they make that stupid Axew plot the subplot and show the fight? That had to be the worst idea ever!!
-Kicking out all of Ash's main rivals and fighting random unknown rivals we've never heard of in the top rounds, what the heck is this?
-If this Virgil guy doesn't even get to fight Ash in the league, what a waste of space. Whats the point in adding this guy if he doesn't even get to fight Ash? To show off popular Pokemon? Lame.
-If Ash doesn't get in the top 4 at least, it will be like hes going backwards which would be horrible in my opinion.

What I'd like to see for the next series

-Please don't add in so many rivals if you don't even know what to do with some of them.
-Less Pokemon for Ash if he doesn't even train all of them or use some in battles. How long has it been since we've seen the poor otter get a fight? Hes only seen in fillers now >>
-Add comical Team Rocket back in, these episodes without them in my opinion have been boring. We don't even see Ash train his Pokemon on screen any ways, just random filler characters needing help.
-More training for Ash and his Pokemon, more screen time for him please. Best Wishes 2 he really did seem like a sidekick instead of the main character which annoyed me so.

Wow, more cons than pros, thats never happened with a league for me before.
