If i haven't said it already, this fandom is cynical as fuck. In their heads the writers are devil incarnate and are searching for ways to cuck their audience at every corner. Forget the fact that it's a kodomomuke, they believe pokemon works on completely different rules than regular anime.
I think you misunderstood. I'm expressing frustration with people getting surprised over the slightest of continuity. Some had convinced themselves that tracey/paul won't return because they are (((anime-only characters))). There's a limit to how sceptical one can be. Almost every discussion in this forum begins with "i want this to happen but i know it won't because muh writers". The amount of distrust towards the writers is insane.
Seriously good God just say you didn't like the episode and go. People can enjoy the show however they want
XY really ruined us man. Barely a crumb of references for three years beyond a Cilan cameo, and Movie 20 comed along and erases two beloved characters for a anniversary movie I think it just destroyed a lot of good faith people had when it comes to that sort of thing. So seeing Journeys be so liberal with it in ways the anime hasn't utilized in nearly a decade I can't blame people for being excited about it
Sorry I didn't read it closely enough my bad.
I think there's been a change in the creative liberty/executive supervision since Ash lost the kalos league. SM onwards they are constantly trying to appeal to their fans with ash winning a league, old companions returning etc. It's like they have finally understood that pissing off their audience is bad for business.
Nah man thats just mew roaming throug the world nothing new, project mew will probably want to investigate the places he frequents
...It frequents Vermilion, while ironically drawing attention to itself as a Lugia.
Meh doesnt seem like it he has just appeared there two times, and he was just a passerby in one of them
XY and BW part 1 would like to have a word with you.
Vermilion itself keeps attracting a lot of weirdos just because Ash and Goh live there.
Who exactly if you mean filler characters they always lived there, its just that our protagonist just now got interested in them and the plot actually requires them, tho i must admit they are pretty wierd
It is very hard to estimate, in particular with this series which has completely shaken up the status quo from the previous series. Because the characters aren't tied down to any particular region (or any particular set of games) and can basically go anywhere, writers have the freedom to do whatever they want for as long as they want. There are no gym quest or trials for Ash, only his participation in PWC, which is also super unpredictable, because the ranking system allows the writer to prolong this quest for however long they want to. Goh's goal is to catch all Pokemon, which is something that will take either a long time or forever, so he could also stick around for a very long time.
Thanks for detailed reply. With series already half done, i wonder how would they fit world championship matches and project mew in 70-80 episodes. The way they have hyped master class and possibly other regional champion returns, it seems too much especially if master class has full battles.
