I'd dare to say most of Yuyama's interventions seems to be more like asking the staff to use stuff that's been decided by the bigger heads (executives of OLM, TV Tokyo and other controlling parties)Not exclusively hands off. I’m saying he cared more about the movies since that’s where the cash is. There were times when he did step in during the anime, but he let the directors do their own thing for the most part. I also believe there’s a difference between shaking things up a little and completely changing how the concept of how Pokémon works. For example, his goal of making it the human world with Pokémon in it when it’s always been the other way around.
I think the goal and the current series is built in a way that he can go either way: if it's popular/successful enough, we continue into gen 9, if not, there's a way out stabilished so they can use it without it looking like a last minute change.If the end goal of Goh's character arc is independency from Ash, isn't that a hint that he might not stay for more than one region? I've read people speculating that Goh may stay on for multiple regions based on the flexibility of his goal and the nature of the show now.
My guess is that at the end of this series something will happen (Celebi?) that will send Ash and Pikachu back in time and he will have to go through whatever you need to go through in LoA, probably with Oshawott (Cyndaquil is already a Quilava and the everstone thing hinders Rowlett chances). He will have a new LoA based companion (maybe a Dawn ancestor), and it will be business as usual.If the end goal of Goh's character arc is independency from Ash, isn't that a hint that he might not stay for more than one region?

I mean, LA is still a gen 8 game, so if the anime adapts it it'll still be part of JN. I guess they'll have a short arc around it ala DD?My guess is that at the end of this series something will happen (Celebi?) that will send Ash and Pikachu back in time and he will have to go through whatever you need to go through in LoA, probably with Oshawott (Cyndaquil is already a Quilava and the everstone thing hinders Rowlett chances).

Same. I dont see how it would adapt in the current anime at all tbh.I really hope they leave the Legends stuff to the Twilight Wings studio
Tbh, this approach is pretty dumb when you remember that it was a Pokemon who birthed the current dimension/Universe that most of the anime takes place in.Executive Director Tomiyasu ordered the Staff to make the Series feel more like Pokemon in Humans World rather than in the flip way around.
It goes hand in hand when I said Tomiyasu has a tendency to misinterpret things in Pokemon.Tbh, this approach is pretty dumb when you remember that it was a Pokemon who birthed the current dimension/Universe that most of the anime takes place in.
If anything, I feel like humans are aliens who probably 'leaked in' through an Ultra Space portal or something similar to the Conjunction of Spheres from The Witcher.
I remember as a kid thinking it was very odd that humans and Pokemon coexist on the same planet given they have vastly different biologies, behaviours, reproduction, etc.Tbh, this approach is pretty dumb when you remember that it was a Pokemon who birthed the current dimension/Universe that most of the anime takes place in.

Honestly, the impression I'm getting is that the management on the show nowdays has been flat out... Terrible. This Tomiyasu regime has been more reliant on cheap marketing tricks - read it as giving Ash powerhouses/hype shillmons, a legendary being caught by a main character, nostalgia - than on the series' own strenghts.It goes hand in hand when I said Tomiyasu has a tendency to misinterpret things in Pokemon.
I agree, this man is not meant to direct Pokemon. Shame on him.The worst thing is that even when the next series starts with a new director, Tomiyasu will still be in charge as the executive director.
Thinking back to XY, Yajima seemed to have enough control over his series even though he was only the series director. Why isn't that happening now?
Anyways, I'm hoping for Hiroaki Takagi as the next director since he's the only one on Journeys that seems to consistently understand Pokemon and how to direct good episodes. Unfortunately, that's unlikely since he's probably busy enough with other shows (and too good for the direction that this anime has been heading).
Well SM is trash soHonestly, the impression I'm getting is that the management on the show nowdays has been flat out... Terrible.

Could it be he is a victim of executive mandates? Sure, that's the most likely option...
YET
He's the head of this "body", the "captain" of this ship and I highly doubt executives bother with stuff like "have Goh train with his Drizzile" rather than the more vague things like "hurry, give Goh an Intelleon 'cause those sell better".
He can control what happens within his episodes. He can make marketing integration work to his favor. He has the RESPONSABILITY of properly integrating the mandatory merch with the story they want to tell. That's what Kiyotaka Taguchi did on Ultraman Z which netted him a Seiun Award.
Honestly, I have no idea why OLM gave him such a high position solely because SM. I normally don't speculate on those things, but feels more like a case of just happening to have the "right" connections.
Dont agree with thisWell SM is trash so
