Not any bias against Unova, it just happens IMO that the most forgettable ones happen to come from the roster like the ones I mentioned. I liked Krookodile, Leavanny, etc.
When you talk about “positive reception” you mean serebii forums?? Since there is twitter, reddit, bulbagarden etc where people discuss the episodes as well. Just curious.
No I meant all three. I'm not on bulbagarden all that much but I've seen positive reception there too
So far, the overall mini-series has been more focused on throwbacks and references to previous series. We see more of Ash's reserves and old companions, but there hasn't been any active storyline focused on Ash's future and stuff. Though this series is supposed to ask the question of what a Pokemon Master is, so maybe we'll get some information on that towards the end.
There's a new leak thread
If somebody were to tell me that Axew and Oshawott were going to get banger episodes in JN when it first started I would've been confused but now we need more. Even Leveanny was pretty iconic with his nurturing gag in the Misty episode. Do Krookodile next. I hope we get way more cameos from them
I'd be fine with it if we got at least one reserve evo, but that honestly doesn't seem likely at this point.
Then why is the random Latias stalking him like a Sandile.
I doubt it, seeing how towards the ending of this series, there's the payoff with Latias as his new Pokemon. She's apparently stalking him for a reason. If the revelation of Latias proves to not mean anything, then her being involved in the plot of this mini-arc should have ended on the first episode, with Ash saving her and she returning the favor by catching Ash.
I just feel the vibes of Meloetta.
Meloetta also had a whole arc to fully justify a no catch. And arc that had time, something we don't have here. Latias feels kinda random otherwise.
