The Pokémon Center Lady (094)

Wattrel was stupid too
This is literally the only focus episode its gotten aside from when it first evolved. How does this focus episode justify an evolution when Hattrem doesn’t even have an attacking move?
Yeah, I didn't like Wattrel's undeserved evolution either, but Hattrem does have an offensive move in Confusion.

Ashs fletchinder was consistenly used to the point that it had 7/8 gym battlesm i think that was entirely deserverd and one of the ebst evo sewuences in the series
Fletchinder is falling into a volcano!

WHAT WILL ASH DO?!

a) Recall it to its Poke Ball. (Best answer.)

b) Have another Pokemon pull it back with something.

- You have chosen option c.

c) "FLETCHINDER NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" *jumps down to the volcano to save(?) it in...I dunno* (Wrong Answer)​

The stakes:

SM!Ash: How will I goof off today?

JN!Ash: I'm unbeatable!
….Thank you for proving my point I guess?

Well still, my entire point is the secondary mons have been horribly sidelined and treated in HZ, even worse than Ash’s JN team by this point in it’s saga.

I don’t see Hattrem’s eventual evolution being satisfactory enough anyway so Id rather they just get it out of the way soon since Hatterene is cool af. Its also why at this point I want Tinkaton already. The base evolutions were horribly treated but there is still hope for the final evolutions to shine for Kilowattrel, Hatterene and Tinkaton

Except SM and HZ are fundamentally two different stories with different stakes and storylines going on?

and yet, despite the stakes, we still have a team situation for a reason, everyone on the RVT has a connection to Friede just like the kids!

Wanna whine about the Cerise lab characters? Be my guest, but you aren't watching HZ's storyline correctly if you think the ensemble should stay divided

But she needs a upgrade from that it's weak she needs psyschock but it's lieklt gonna get upgraded to psychic when she evolves
It could learn a new and stronger move upon evolving.
Doesn't she also have Brutal Swing? Though I lowkey can't remember when she last used it.
Yeah, she does. No idea how I managed to forget about that.

I can't deny that the secondary Pokémon of the Horizons cast have been heavily sidelined previously (for example, Dot being worried her Quaxwell being at a disadvantage against Perrin's Leafeon instead of even considering using her second Pokémon that is not weak against Grass), but Mega Voltage seems to be giving them more focus, as we can see from them participating in important situations lately and Hattrem being Terastallized, so I have high hopes that this mistreatment is in the process of being fixed.

Probably the same way the people writing this show forgot, lol. They're so intent on making Hattrem a support Pokemon they just have her use Confusion on some rocks and then heal Pokemon (when they remember Liko has a healer on her team).

Making Hatterene a passive mon will be a bad move, Hattrem only is passive when someone is actually jn pain and it's not their own doing but mons like the Annihilapes and the ice mons that were fighting those were their own intentions on causing trouble, I hope they use hattrem against Seviper next week ep

This is such a stupid take lmao
Yes everyone has a connection and bond to each other, but after a major setback and loss and loss of public favour and image, it makes enough sense for the group to get disbanded despite their love for each other. Helps actually sell stakes of what the last arc did to the status quo, stakes that are necessary in this series.

“You aren’t watching HZ correctly” LMFAO
