But they TOO MUCH slowing the show. the gap between the 1st ribbon to the second was 52 episodes. the gap between the 4th ribbon to the 5th is now probably 46 and even more episodes. it's too much. Look at Hoenn gaps. that's a normal gaps. In whole 2009 Dawn and Ash obtained only 1 badge and 1 ribbon. It's not a problem about the GF and Sinnoh league. it has nothing to do to that. the GF can be even 4 episodes and the league can be 7-8.
You guys act as though the only episodes that matter are the ones where a capture or an evolution take place or where a ribbon or badge is earned. Dawn's contest arc is much more developed then May's. May was unrealistically good at contests without having to learn a single thing about actual contests. As I've said before May's biggest problem was Drew's/Harley's drama rather then realistically growing at contests.
Since Dawn's last ribbon there have been two other contests. One of which established Kenny as a threat to Dawn and showed Ambipom's interest in ping pong. The other one gave Jessie her 3rd ribbon and allowed for growth for Mamoswine.
I agree with you.
Dawn won her 4th ribbon in DP114 and now it will dp 153 (next episode). But still she don't have her final ribbon.
Super slow story.
In Pokemon Advanced Generation Series, Grand Festival was ended in 123rd episode. But in DP Series, 152 episodes are over and ash don't have his final badge and dawn don't have her 5th ribbon.
Really, slow zzzzzzzzz....
Yes, DP is longer that's undeniable. But that's because we don't have any info on the 5th generation
yet. That doesn't mean the 5th generation isn't coming as I've seen some one saying. In fact, if the writers weren't planning on creating a 5th generation I doubt they'd drag the Sinnoh saga out for this long if they weren't planning on making a 5th generation. There'd be no reason for it.
What???
XD
That have nothing to do with the League or the GF, it will be 7-8 & 3-4 episodes respectively, they writers always do the same and i'm sure Sinnoh WON'T improve it.
They're taking their "time" because the filler arc is the last saga of Pokémon, because Nintendo don't have a new handheld console yet or the next gen is not ready.
Ah, so you were the one who claims there will be no 5th generation. We'll read the reply above this.
The laughable part is that the Sinnoh saga is much longer than the Hoenn saga yet the writers are still managing to give us good material. In Hoenn everything that wasn't a capture/evolution episode, or an episode where a badge/ribbon was earned was the basic formula for a Johto filler:
- Ash meet COTD with a problem
- Team Rocket attacks OHNOZ
- Team Rocket is defeated in the same boring fashion
- COTD's problems are solved...yay(?) Not like we'll ever see this person again any way
Keep in mind in talking about episodes with this exact formula. Episodes like the Claydol filler don't count because they at least have some entertainment value by straying away from routine.
How many episodes are there in DP that have this formula? Like 10 maybe? Compare that to Hoenn where there's like 40. It's freakin' sad especially when you consider DP is longer but doesn't have nearly as many of these uncreative same-ol'-routine episodes. Even capture/evolution episode's main focus was Team Rocket causing some kind of trouble. In DP there is usually something else going on in both the fillers and eventful episodes. Team Rocket has taken somewhat of a "backseat".
Short and uneventful vs Long and extremely eventful. I'm going to go with long and eventful but I guess it's all a matter of opinion. Although you'll likely state you opinion as a fact like you usually do so meh..
