I really have to wonder if that stupid dance is all Pecharunt is good for to the people working on this franchise. Seriously, it's especially grating when you remember the group he's associated with is also involved in one of the darkest and most tragic stories this franchise ever told. But why focus on the murder of an innocent man, a vengeful ogre killing his killers, and said ogre getting exiled from a village when we can focus on people dancing like chickens and saying nothing but mochi as they do so, am I right?

So help me, if I see even a split second of Pecharunt possession in any future episode I'm done with Horizons.

Koraidon/Miraidon being here would have had their personality set to "Sandwich" all the time. Glad they dodged the bullet.

Arven, you say something.

Arven: ...

Exactly. You're collateral damage for even appearing at all.

The funny thing is that she's conveniently absent whenever they're fighting the bad guys. She even let them deal with Explorers and Rakua all by themselves and went off to keep traveling the world without a care in the world, lol. She'll help the main characters progress the plot, but she won't stick around for the main conflict.

That's funny because she got a mythical pokemon who can mind control whole villages, Diana can easily end the explorers if she wanted to

Absolutely a garbage episode, Jesus Christ. Starting off the new year with this ****.
Its a shame too coz HZ had a strong streak of episodes going for a while and this arc in general was fine, but this episode is just so bad

The actual fun and memes of Mochi Mayhem DLC absolutely fall flat in the anime and it’s so irritating to see the DLC legends treated like this. Would have rather had an episode showing how Diana and Hamber actually caught it then whatever this was

What a waste of the games

Bro calm down, literally everything shown in the episode is consistent with the games, don't know what you expected really...

Well, this series is nothing if not extremely predictable.

Man, at least Liko is updating her team as fast as Dot is. The boys hardly have much to update in comparison.

Yeah.......except it kind of feels more like quantity over quality, no?

And the boys......they don't deserve any more team members, especially Roy, who has woefully negelected his Kilowattrel to the point of the poor thing not having a single really powerful move barring Electro Ball and maaaaybe Uproar. And that's without even bringing up its painfully tiny list of meaningful appearances/battle wins, with the latter currently sitting at........one. (Maaaaaybe 2 if you count Kingdra, which Crocalor stole the knockout blow for.) And that's it.

Honestly, Roy's not even that good of a Pokemon Trainer at all just for these transgressions alone, he's pathetically mediocre and relies largely on being a Gary Stu/writer's pet to accomplish anything. Seriously, in my opinion Ash's Unfezant wasn't even neglected this badly, and the poor girl's infamous for the lack of screentime/victories she received/suffered.

Im just tired of HZ constantly hoeing the games, especially since Scarlet and Violet were so rich in their story and characters

It isn’t consistent with the games, one of the reasons it worked so well in the games is coz of the different specific characterisations of the main cast, especially as the main game friends meet the DLC friends. It also had funny scenarios like Nemona. In the anime the characterisation just isn’t taken advantage of whatsoever and the meme just isn’t funny when it isn’t new anymore and isnt used in a more funny context. It would be a treat to see if the other stuff was adapted as well but oh well

It was just so weird purposely cutting out the interesting aspects this episode could have had (properly fleshing out the game backstory for Pecharunt, seeing how Diana and Hamber caught it and getting Kitakami, Best girl Ogerpon left in the dust)

Its just hard to have fun when everything is a downgrade compared to the games.

Atleast Charcadet is evolving soon, I have liked his development

I'm used to the anime doing no justice to the games.

*recalls Black & White especially*
*recalls Ash taking the majority of Lillie's stuff in Sun & Moon*
*can't recall Sword & Shield because it wasn't focused on much*

Though tip-toeing around the SV plot is pretty annoying. Imma blow my casket if Nemona ever says, "man, you all should've BEEN here then!"

In fairness, this isn’t exactly a Horizons issue. Journeys had the same issue with both Sword & Shield and Legends Arceus’s stories, and this has been a sentiment that’s gradually been building up since BW.

It sucks that the Horizons isn’t really following the games’ stories anymore, but I think it’s smarter production wise since OLM doesn’t have to include every element of the games. I think it might be better to view the anime as doing its own thing and using aspects of the games for their own plots

Journeys literally adapted the games more and better than Horizons did, how in the world could we sink so low that JN is a better adaptation? At least the main threat from SS got its story arc even if extremely rushed and its champion got to shine for plenty of episodes, that's more than what HZ can say about adapting literally anything from Area Zero, Kitakami or Blueberry, or its champion usage.
