Ooh boy let's go
1) The TR viridian battle. I don't consider it a legit win but it was still fun and people seem to overhate on it
2) OI being a "filler" arc or the orange league not counting
3) Misty's character being too violent
4) Ash losing against Harrison (the only ash loss ever I found justified and good written)
5) Paul not being punished more (although I get what people mean by that)
6) No BF for sinnoh (would have been repetitive)
7) BW fillers (they are freaking amazing)
8) Ash Vs Giovanni in BW
9) Decolore Islands
10) Ash jumping off Prism Tower
11) Clemont not doing anything after gym battle
12) Bonnie not being a good character by some for some reason
13) Ash Vs Valerie
14) SM in general lol, in specific
- Lusamine not being her game version
- Lillie's storyline
- Matori Matrix
- Ultra guardians
- Alola not being a "real" league
- Alola having no entry requirements (the silliest thing tbh, it didn't matter)
-Mallow not being a good companion coz she didn't get more episodes
- The mallow mother or litten episode being over dramatised or as some called it, bait lmao
- Rowlet as a Mon
- Ula ula arc having Ash as OOC
- soak strategy making no sense
15) Lucario "screenhogging" screentime by getting development enough for it to evolve
16) Goh not caring for his mons
17) Journeys episodes being "copy pasted"
18) Journeys fillers not being fun
19) Any criticism of the magikarp slowking EP
20) Chloe or the alolan poke girls slander
How people treat the concept of filler too. It's integral to the series judgement, inherent part of Pokémon and fun alot of times
I don't understand why people use Greninja leaving as criticism against XY. It made the departure have more weight than just being left to rot at the lab, and tied in with the Flare arc's plot. It's not like Ash even visits the lab enough to see it if it was there.
I just didn't like how the release was written. Felt lame and a dumb explanation of the vibe thing and that ash greninja can sense them
