As we know, BW began in 2010 and had little to no references at all to past sagas (very minor, Oak, Tracey, Delia etc. were hardly memorable/notable compared to how they're treated in BW2). It's no lie that the anime followed the games Black and White, and this was accepted by everybody for the first 86 episodes of Best Wishes, and once BW2 began and followed Black 2 and White 2, the references to past saga's came flooding in on a frequent basis.
Personally for me, I find it very annoying how the first half of BW had literally nothing, and BW2 suddenly has all of these references. Don't get me wrong, I like the references, but my point is I wish they had simply been spread out throughout the whole Best Wishes Series instead of being focused purely for BW2, and brought in so suddenly 86 episodes into the saga.
How do you feel about this?
Two more little questions related to the above:
-Do any of you find it annoying how only Eastern Unova was specifically stated to have past generation Pokemon yet now the gang have left that area (since the league) that past generation Pokemon appear everywhere? No explanation at all?
-So Ash looked back on Charizard today, obviously because 'plot', but why couldn't he have reminiscent on Buizel and Corphish, heck even Dawn's Quilava when he saw all of those too? I know that Charizard returning is most likely due to it's popularity, but it just bugs me that he suddenly rememebers Charizard despite seeing other Pokemon he owned prior.
I'd just like to state that i'm not bashing, I think the references in Best Wishes to past saga's are the best thing this series has done, with Charizard and Mewtwo returning and the general plot for Episode N happening I feel it's done Best Wishes justice and has given it a reason to be a favourite, I'm just annoyed on how random things have been handled.
