If this is their idea of a good ending for Ash, then they did him really dirty. Again i wasn’t expecting a battle or anything but for it being a culmination of Ash’s journey’s, Id expect alot of returns of previous companions & Pokemon that have not returned. Butterfree briefly returned before the start of MPM, Squirtle in Episode 5, & Lapras in Episode 7. Aside from Misty & Brock, Cilan got to reappear but in Brock’s return episode. Ash’s previous Pokemon seemed to reappear in rotation each episode but only 4 at a time(5 including Pikachu) but in episode 3’s case, it was just Pikachu. Episode 5 just had the 3 Kanto mons. Episode 6 may have more aside from Pikachu & Snivy. Episode 7 may take place mostly in the ocean/sea, so maybe just water types but Squirtle, Corphish, Oshawott, & Buizel appeared already so the only ones to appear is Palpitoad, Kingler, & Dracovish.
Idk how anyone is defending this 11-episode epilogue of Ash when its had nothing of value aside from the first 3 episodes & even episode 1 wasn’t too eventful(Latias? who gives a f$#%). Anothsr one regarding a Beartic. The Squirtle one being nostalgia bait & our “trustworthy” leaker saying something of significance happens in the Squirtle Episode. Another PikaxMeowth episode like it needed to be done again. Lapras returning, and then another Team Rocket episode, as if they had taken enough screentime already. Then we have a Banette Episode which why the hell couldn’t it have been a Journey’s episode & give Gengar some moments in the episode??
What’s episode 10 about? Another random PotD? Of all the Pokemon to return & nothing from Pidgeot, Primeape & Ambipom? Idk who they are catering with this series but if its the fandom that stuck with the series since the beginning, then what a disgrace of a series, so far, not a fan.
