On a side note Corviknight looks pretty darn cool animated. I need Ash to catch Rookidee as soon as possible
Because as far as Ash's character goes, him being attracted to her amounted to a example of the "early installment weirdness" trope and thus ceased to apply later (like the white button on the pokedex that was supposed to enable Ash to switch out boxed pokemon but was never mentioned again).Why does everybody forget Giselle?
I'm glad you said that, because when I looked at the "On Lugia They Go Ash and Go" episode pictures just now, I was sure this was a 100% reset. I assumed that the flashback in the first episode where Pikachu was born as Pichu and joins Ash was going to have a more clear "division" line establishing that as a flashback, and then returning to the present reality. But now that I'm seeing the episode 2 pictures showing Ash waking up in bed with the hallmark details from the flashback & original pilot episode like the Pidgey Pokeball clock, Dodrio, and Zubat mobile -- it highly suggests that episode 2's events are directly continuous after Ash obtains Pikachu, as if this is a full reset. It's kind of like the writers are blurring the line and offering the audience their own interpretation of how the timeline works.
Also I find it super ironic that the first legendary they're featuring is Lugia which is completely unobtainable in Sword & Shield not to mention all the unobtainable Pokemon featured in this episode. I remember when I was a kid, the joys of watching the anime were that if I saw a Pokemon in the show I thought was cool I could find it on my Gameboy. Not sure if every kid enjoys this same crossover synergy as I did, but I'd imagine some of them might get disappointed. The amount of Pokemon featured in this episode that are unobtainable is laughable -- Dodrio, Psyduck, the Horsea line, Pidgey line, Garchomp, Fearow x 12, the Tentacool line, Dewgong. Of all the generation of games for the anime to choose to feature the entire world of Pokemon, Sword and Shield is the most head scratching choice
That....sounds like a convenient way for people to deny canon events. I mean, Ash's affection for Giselle DID happen, it's part of the story, it doesn't contradict actual events/plot/lore. If anything, one could argue that Ash being oblivious goes against his established personality. I just want to say that just because something happened early on that doesn't make it non canon. Saying that makes no sense.Because as far as Ash's character goes, him being attracted to her amounted to a example of the "early installment weirdness" trope and thus ceased to apply later (like the white button on the pokedex that was supposed to enable Ash to switch out boxed pokemon but was never mentioned again).
You could also interpret it like this - Giselle was the only girl that fit Ash's ideal girl standards in the anime.Because as far as Ash's character goes, him being attracted to her amounted to a example of the "early installment weirdness" trope and thus ceased to apply later (like the white button on the pokedex that was supposed to enable Ash to switch out boxed pokemon but was never mentioned again).
calling it now, she going to develop feeling for ash at the end of her character arc lol.

Pls noNah. For me, she is clearly being set to be the Serena to Go's Ash.
Yeah, I rather see her saving people from threats and Ash & Go praising how badass she is than having her seeing them as their knights in shining armor.Pls no
Tbh, i think Gou will be the Serena to Koharu's Ash lmaoNah. For me, she is clearly being set to be the Serena to Go's Ash.

My point is that a lot of long-running series like this end up abandoning certain early aspects of characters for various reasons, and pokemon has rarely let the concept of canon hold it back. Like take how early on Brock was just as willing to hit Misty as she was to hit him.You could also interpret it like this - Giselle was the only girl that fit Ash's ideal girl standards in the anime.
nice avatar/pfpThe scene of Lugia nosediving into the sea with the BNHA-like OST was fantastic.
The face expressions of Ash and Go gave me this fresh sense of "a new adventure is coming".
