Break the Limit
Here’s a official edited version of the marketing video banner so you can see more of it
It's either that or both of them leaving right at the beginning.Also i guess brock and misty are probably not going to be in the last ep since there were no new scene with them i guess?
…yeah, that’s the joke.I don't get the fascination with Mt. Silver of all things, for me that's the most edgy part of the 'Redification' of Ash if you will. Vanishing from the region and going alone to a snowy mountainous place....it worked well for the games as a coolness factor but just doesn't for Ash's character in the anime. Especially when it's been established Mt. Silver isn't really a training hub either in the anime
These are my feelings 100%, you come to trust the writers, you start to hope but naah, plus the marketing team are hype experts, but then you always get disappointed. Awful.I don’t think anyone was expecting Shakespearean writing. Obviously this show has always been glorified marketing and full of surface-level writing, poor pacing, missed opportunities, repetitive formulaic episodes, Team Rocket ad nauseum, and one of the slowest developments of a character ever (while still refusing to age him).
However, was is really hard to ask for more episodes in Journeys with old companions returning and getting updates for their ‘future’ ahead? Or even more obvious: having Ash’s old Pokémon come back and battle in the PWC seemed like a no-brainer decision. C’mon, it’s been so many years since Charizard got a proper battle.
I mean, whatever, at least a lot of old companions got post-series episodes in earlier series and we generally know where they’re at and what they’re doing. As for the reserves, at least they helped train the JN team to reach ultimate glory. It is what it is.
However, for the last 11 episodes, did we really need a quieter conclusion of random fillers?
It could have been 1 episode devoted to each series. As in Ash spends an episode with each of his regional teams and there could have been a montage of him remembering that respective series and companions. That’s half the episode. There still would have been room for a random POTD/COTD or TR plot, and/or Latias can still follow Ash.
Just something that would have signified tribute and a proper bookend to a 26-year-running show. That’s all.
The fact that somebody could watch these episodes and not realize that Ash’s story is ending says something.
Yeah, we probably shouldn’t have been this invested in the show. But I thought the staff would try a little harder.
The problem isn't aging. The problem is that his character lacks depth. Think about it, what do you know about ash other than the fact that he likes Pokemon? His favourite colour? His favourite food? He's a completely blank slateWhen you watch other anime, You see characters grow up and also become more relatable because they will probably experience the same things as you did as you age
then there’s Ashy Boy who will never grow up and it’s just annoying in the long run. It really pisses me off how annoyingly allergic the pokemon anime is to the concept of growing up
Ahem, his favourite colour is dark green and his favourite food are croquettesThe problem isn't aging. The problem is that his character lacks depth. Think about it, what do you know about ash other than the fact that he likes Pokemon? His favourite colour? His favourite food? He's a completely blank slate
The food that Brock prepares !!The problem isn't aging. The problem is that his character lacks depth. Think about it, what do you know about ash other than the fact that he likes Pokemon? His favourite colour? His favourite food? He's a completely blank slate
My bad missed the context and misunderstood it…yeah, that’s the joke.
Where are the rest of the town's residents though?!It's really poetic that the anime starts and ends with Ash, Pikachu, Gary, Prof Oak and Delia
Some of those gaps are filled in like favorite food. But outside of that, I think this is intentional so that the target audience can project themselves on Ash.He's a completely blank slate
Not sure if serious?tarnish the current show to make way for a new one.
Yes. How will there be a new king if the current king isn't dead? How will the hero save the world if the world isn't put into peril?Not sure if serious?
Really confused about the message here. Are you saying the writers and showrunners were dealt a bad hand, or that they intentionally sabotaged this last Ash outing in preparation for the new series?Let's not blame the writers and showrunners for how PM2019 and MPM turned out. If your next project was set, didn't have to carry anything from your current and the directive is to wrap up this one, who is going to blame them for setting their to be expired project on fire?
They're probably saying it good riddance and dancing on Ash' figurative corpse.
It also now makes a lot of sense why Goh was created. To create a test case for another protagonist and to tarnish the current show to make way for a new one.
