By Naruto standards, even the female characters in Pokemon are elite. That's how bad it is in NarutoI’m actually surprised that the people who actively consume this garbage can find anything else ‘horribly written’.
No wonder they call it this place le pokemon aneurysm discussion….

Since we are talking a lot about Naruto should we talk about what his Pokemon team could be? Or should we just keep hopes for new titles?
Can't believe we didn't even get a summary yet for Ep 3 & Ep 4

Not thinking twice!
Well he'd definitely have a Ninetales, and most likely a Greninja and/or Seismitoad

After reading some of the cringiest takes here, I now genuinely hope Riko is the MC who actually doesn't have a battling goal. Apparently a female character is only worthy if she battles......yeah that's some great "mindset" this place has (this place would probably die trying to watch Fruits Basket). Obviously I'd like to see her in battles that are needed for a situation, but not a battling goal itself like win gym badges or something (and neither do I want another repetitive goal like contests). I genuinely wouldn't mind if her goal is to just explore the vast world and mysteries.
As for the whole "Kishimoto" style discussion being peddled by people who can't name more than 10 anime, the issue with Hinata and Sakura was more to do with the story direction itself rather than his inability to write good females. Since they were main characters, they were part of everything going on, and the whole series suffered post Pain arc. Obviously he's nowhere close to Gorilla sensei (Sorachi), FMA or Jojo part 6, but Kushina, Temari, Konan and Tsunade were still pretty fine, and far from the whole "Kishimoto can't write women" stuff.

Or kimi ni todoke, Clannad, Ore Monogatari or any Shoujo/Josei/Romance for that matter. These retards probably refuse to consume anything that doesn’t have ‘wahmen fighting’.

The bad part is when you take the most cliché elements of them combined with the average writing of the Pokémon Anime

Now you’ve got my attention
Riko being an unlikable insufferable prick AND doesn’t do battles. Would love to see the entire forum vomit their eyes out.

Honestly she should battle while being an insufferable prick. Would love to see the hypocrisy then.Now you’ve got my attention

That’d be great honestly. A character that reflects the fanbase to a T.

In other topics, I am glad that Sakura is currently getting focus in Boruto and showing how useful she is. After unlocking Tsuande's strength of 100th seal, they literally was setting her up to be a bada*** only to once again play the Sasuke fangirl. Kishimoto's "I can't write female characters" is such a mindless excuse especially when we had the whole Sakura/Chiyo vs Sasori fight. Obviously Riko and Sarada being female leads is an indication that female action characters do have a demand audience these days.

Exactly man. Like jeez I a want female battler too but they be taking it too far.
Every season of this show is a poor attempt of writing an arctype or whatever. It is hard carry by how unique of a concept pokemon is ( it is compared to digimon but they not really that much alike imo). You're too obsessed with your hatred of XY. Finally while I do agree that Hxh and Jojo are great it doesn't scratch that itch in the same way pokemon does.
Dbz?

These days.....clearly shows how little you know. Samus, and especially the Final Fantasy series were doing proper female action in the 90's with Terra, Tifa, Aerith, etc, who are all beloved and some of the most well known female icons in gaming. And in anime, Asuka (who OS Misty was a discount version of), the females in FMA (manga was from 2001 to 2010), Gintama (hailed for it's female cast) started in 2003, etc. They've definitely been around so seeing them getting spotlight isn't suddenly revolutionary. But for argument sake, I'd say Jujutsu Kaisen is probably the best modern shounen for female action and Chainsaw Man for finally giving a terrifying female shounen villain.
Pokemon at its core is about battling. That's what the core gameplay is about and the most marketed episodes of the anime feature battling. Whoever the lead is should have their goal be about battling and they will do so. No one wants Pokemon: Fruit Baskets edition.
