Break the Limit
I know for a fact Gou will not catch Mew so watching him chuck balls at random Pokemon doesn't make me feel anything. Ash has no goal and no Pokemon and that apparently isn't changing in the near future. The initial appeal of going to old locations is gone when none of the characters associated with that location appears so the locations feel hollow and without any charm (looking at you Battle Frontier)
I know I'm told I shouldn't care about Continuity in this show and for the most part I accepted it as at least we got new characters to enjoy. But this is the first time where this archaic anti continuity stance actively HURTS the series because what your left with is a stupid small underdeveloped cast, no rivals, no other recurring characters because they refuse to show them because they met Ash that one time, God forbid we see Morty the tower gaurdian in a Ecruteak episode where they go through the tower. I'm going to REALLY hate this series when they go to Lumiose and Alola and they pull this crap again, I think that will be the moment I give up on this anime if nothing changes
So I'm just wondering what is the plan? Is what we have now really preferable than if you just had a Galar anime? You take this great idea of a world tour across the Pokemon world and use it as window dressing for the most banal fillers with nothing of substance to them. I really want to like this series but seeing it squander all of its potential everytime they go to an old location is maddening. I really hope this upcoming Lance episode is a precursor of greater things to come because a huge shake up is desperately needed
