The original plot

[Drohn]

Do you think the writers of Pokémon will ever go back into previous sagas to give us fans closure? I remember the first Pokemon episode where Ash saw Ho-oh.
Then in the first movie he stopped Mew and Mewtwo and in the second movie he was "The chosen one".

During the Johto saga it was hinted that Ho-oh would only appear when humans and Pokemon would live together in harmony and Ash saw him.

In the Sinnoh saga they said Ash's aura was the same as Aron's aura and hinted to him being able te become an aura guardian.

Will they ever go back to the original plot where Ash was someone special and "The chosen one", or will they just let him go trough every region and starting over, going nowhere?

Don't get me wrong, I really like Pokemon. I just wish they would go deeper into Ash being different and why the legendaries feel that way about him,
rather then seeing him doing almost the same over and over.

EDIT: I post this here so the recent happenings of the episodes in Japan can be discussed too if needed, if this does belong in "Anime discussion" it can be moved.

Ho-oh will likely get an appearance in the very last episode.

Other than that, Ash meets every legendary there is so there's no difference.

Judging from Black and White, they have completely dropped all plot consistencies, except the characters.

I'm not sure if they will go back, I mean each new generation they start over, as in Ash goes to a new region with possibly new friends. Its mostly aimed at children, so I'm not sure if the writers would ever do that for us.

During the Johto saga it was hinted that Ho-oh would only appear when humans and Pokemon would live together in harmony and Ash saw him.

I remember that.

Now they shifted to aura...xD And this plot seems to have died down as well. *Shaking my head*

I don't think he was the chosen one in Movie 2.... well in the Original version. I'm not exactly positive on that one.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Pokemon. I just wish they would go deeper into Ash being different and why the legendaries feel that way about him,
rather then seeing him doing almost the same over and over.

I'd like it to be explored to but it seems this show is an endless cycle: Ash goes to region, meets new friends, captures more Pokemon, loses in league, learns about new region, goes to new region, meets new friends, captures new Pokemon, loses in the league again... etc.

There is a place where recent episodes that have aired in Japan go.

Hard to say considering how pokemon anime tends to have a trend of dropping plots pretending like they didnt existed with GS ball probably being its most famous fiasco.Granted writers tried with 4th movie to wrap it up abit but still not in required amount which would polute satisfasction among fans.

Speaking of older plots Ho-oH will probably appear again most likely during tail end of pokemon series considering how continuity references to his mysteryous coming backs existed up until BW.
As for Ashs role of being selected as "chosen one" and his aura powers sadly that will probably go through way of many other plots which went nowhere never receiving resolution if past few years and straying away from past and older sagas is anything to go by,.

But its not like plots involving Ash are the only ones which suffered from writers mistakes and failures,many of his travelling companions had plots which went nowhere being left at standstill.Like Max being replaced without being possible to conclude its story due to issue of no aging being present never being able to receive pokemon and start journey,or characters like Misty leaving without any real closure with plots in her story being left unfinished and underdeveloped(like goal of becoming water master for example).
None of characters who left in reality got real closure going by real definition of that word with many like May,Dawn,Brock etc parting of with open ended story.

Difference is only that some got more things going for them resolved than others.

This is Pokemon, not Lost or something. I highly doubt they'll revisit any plot, except maybe Ho-oh

If you want a deep and riveting story you're watching the wrong anime.

Ash being a Legendary Hero is a subplot that vaguely explains how he's able to save the world every other week. To him being a great Pokemon Trainer is more important. Maybe when he gets older he'll take his other role more seriously but for now he seems content with chasing his childhood dream. Along the way the movies and certain episodes (like The Keystone Pops and the Riolu Special) will expand on the other aspect of his life. We might get some of those in Best Wishes, too.

I laugh at the very notion that you thought this thread was a good idea.
