We all know Oshawott framed Pikachu.

He's voiced by Toga. Everyone knows how obsessed Toga can be.

How is Journeys not being creative lmao? That water race episode was completely different from ep8, the absol episode completely different from AG ep, and the flabebe episode already having noticeable differences like Florges and no TR and flabebe actually evolving. This episode features Pikachu being arrested and Ash going undercover as a police officer which never happened in that XY episode.
Like how are people actually believing these episodes are carbon copies????
It's symptomatic of a lot of issues the fandom has when it comes to analyzing episodes. Part of it has to do with the fact that said fandom has let themselves be conditioned to not take an episode seriously on its own individual merits, without some kind of outside, serial criteria dictating their presupposed opinion. This leads to half-done/barely-done viewings of the episodes, going into an episode with the prejudiced take of already not liking/not thinking it worthy to really watch, and then leaving the episode with poorly analyzed takeaways because they couldn't let themselves be bothered to actually watch the given episode for what it was.

This is why many are quick to point out very surface-level similarities between certain episodes, even ones that are years or even decades apart, yet are unable to actually properly recognize any actual similarities versus the more blatant differences the episodes have. If they weren't so quick to fall into this same trap, more within the fandom would notice and appreciate how unique many of these newer episode really are.

Oh finally someone actually takes Pikachu since TR can't actually do this lol.
This whole TR thing is just old in general lol. It’s about time they stop this whole nonsense with trying to catch pikachu lol.

Youre the only one sounding condescending lol, he made a valid point that actually holds true seeing the dumb standard that Journeys is copying its episodes is being spread around when the actual episode is different.

Funny thing you are talking about MHA because today I just finished reading volume 27.

(By the way that was my favorite so far because it's completly devoid of any trace of Bakugo)

But who told you that isn't the reason? This whole eletricity theft thing is an excuse so Jenny can finally get Pikachu for his actual crimes.
