Do you think the Isle of Armor arc will show after the Darkest Day plot
I agree that there isn't much demand for Gantle and Gamagaru. In order for them to get screen-time in the future they'd have to be desirable, but they can't be desirable if they don't show up often enough. So it's basically a catch-22.

I would’ve been fine with Oshawott and Snivy if they just evolved at least instead of being the shafted useless mons they were, Snivy had the most potential but stayed a Snivy with like no changes. It was just there. No new moves, not even an evolution. Oshawott never won a battle after BW062 and was just the usual useless water starter gag mon. There was a report that it was originally supposed to be at least a Dewott but was one of the things scrapped thanks to the earthquake and nuclear disaster, tho that’s just mainly an unconfirmed rumor/report.Honestly two of my favorite Unova Pokémon.
Palpitoad had a good and diverse moveset that set it apart to most of Ash's previous Water-types (having 2 STABS and a poignant coverage move against its biggest weakness - and a good support move in Supersonic). I often wish Oshawott wasn't caught so Palpitoad could've gotten some love.
I personally thought that Boldore had an amazing battling style (and moveset) - essentially being a Rock-type that actually fought as a Rock-type (as opposed to Lycanroc which is a generic cookiecutter speedy physical attacker that Ash always uses).
In fact, I kinda feel that way about quite a few of the Unova team:
- Leavanny: Used more as a Bug-type then Heracross ever was.
- Scraggy: Love its defensive moves and kicking-style along with Focus Blast-spam. I mean this thing blocked an Aqua Tail blast with HJK and a Giga Impact with Focus Blast. Let it come back, evolve it into Scrafty and it will be amazing.
- Pignite: Yes, three Fire-type moves, but they're all so different that it unironically makes it incredibly well rounded when they finally added Brick Break.
- Krookodile: No complaints.
Concluding: Ash could've done without Oshawott and Snivy in Unova.

I kinda have two theories regarding Pignite about not becoming Emboar. One was because of Bianca and the other was due to how they thought they could make another “Charizard” but due to how very unpopular Emboar is due to its design, they abandoned the idea of wanting it go all the way as a result.I agree. I loved ashs snivy but they should have evolved it. Entire series no move change either. It was sad. Although i do wonder why did they not evolve pignite all the way?
Probably yes.Do you think the Isle of Armor arc will show after the Darkest Day plot
If that is the definition of usefullness, Serena and Lillie will be the top 2... Lillie was the main focus in early half of SM. Meanwhile, Serena even have whole ending theme dedicated to her, she is the only one not named Ash Ketchum to have that feat... the writer even invented non-game competition just for her...Usefulness to me is more about how big your role is compared to the others and May had much more to do then other companions lol.
Good timing since part of Isle of Armor is getting the GMAX form for your starter. Go will have Cinderace after DD and could get his own Dynamax band from MustardProbably yes.

Personally I define it as their contribution toward main protagonist's growth, so for me, Brock is obviously number 1, followed by Misty and Dawn.
I think the pandemic barely affected much of the production tbh. The real issue is how they’ll execute the IOA in the anime which like you said basically has two things that could likely get carried out which is Go getting his own Dynamax band and also starting to do some dynamaxing himself and Ash doing training under Leon’s mentor aka Mustard out of wanting to do whatever it takes to beat Leon. This basically also applies to the CT as well where they got to think of something to include the duo doing their own thing despite the conflicting goals of the duo.If they do utilize the Isle of Armor story. Obviously the pandemic put things into a difficult position with the approach to the anime. As the isle of armor has been out for a considerable amount of time it does make sense for Goh to get a Dynamax band from Mustard while Ash learns that this is where Leon trained. Continuing the aspiration of achievement of wanting to battle Leon.
With Ash and Goh as the story does make sense for both. But because of the two and the conflicting goals it might make things difficult.
No I wasn't kidding, and you actually understand my point. I mean previous companion already have goal in mind early on (even May is early). But Serena and Lillie??? They don't and that is why the series give a lot of focus on their growth.You can't be serious lol. Serena did literally nothing for close to 50 episodes of XY and as much as I love Lillie, she did very little until the tail end of SM.
Too bad there isn't a dislike button on this forum..You can't be serious lol. Serena did literally nothing for close to 50 episodes of XY and as much as I love Lillie, she did very little until the tail end of SM. They are both near Lana, Mallow, Sophocles, and Tracey in terms of usefulness.
Popular=/=useful important role to me.
And I’d like it if the next Unova ep is something worth while and not a disappointment like mainly the Johto and Sinnoh eps.I just hope Unova is in the next batch of episodes. We are due for another one.
True it a bit dissapointingAnd I’d like it if the next Unova ep is something worth while and not a disappointment like mainly the Johto and Sinnoh eps.
