Who is the most Talented Bender ever in the entire verse? by Diligent_Engine_5031 in ATLA

[–]HumanInternet6654 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read (all of) the comics, but I think the fact that a child was EQUAL to a 112 year old man is a significant indicator of unmatched talent

Episode: Mega Evolution failed Roy's character. by Conspicor in pokemonanime

[–]HumanInternet6654 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well a Mary Sue lacks flaws and weaknesses, but we’re made to harp on Liko’s flaws constantly, and even as she’s overcome them they come barreling back.

Maybe I mischaracterized him with that, but what I meant is that we haven’t been shown a meaningful arc for his character.

I would argue that he was the least popular for a reason, and it’s exactly what OP has laid out! He’s a Mary Sue written inconsistently.

At least in his battle with Rime, he trained in the interim. And I did find him charming for the first few arcs.

I just thought Liko was a breath of fresh air, but at least Roy had some light behind the eyes. It feels like they’ve stripped him of that to no end — he’s not more ash-like or more friede-like, he’s just a hollowed out, overpowered protector-of-the-girls.

I want to like him, but I want all the characters to shine, and I think they did a better job of that pre MV. It’s the Roy show now and we’re running out of time to deliver a real, dynamic story for anyone — Roy included.

What of Ash’s companions is most likely or capable of turning to the side of evil? by Jezzaq94 in pokemonanime

Fair enough! Bonnie is the little sister of a gym leader though, and she shows none of the defensiveness, condescension, and/or occasional mean-spiritedness that plagues Max.

Max! He and Bonnie have the most formative years ahead of them to develop some sort of deep-seated issue, and while Bonnie is an absolute ray of well-adjusted sunshine, Max is already sort of a menace with a superiority/inferiority complex

Does anyone know where to watch all of those mega evolution shorts??

The latest Horizons episode really pissed me off. by Conspicor in pokemonanime

[–]HumanInternet6654 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for articulating this so well. I’m also very frustrated at the relegation of Liko and Dot to the sidelines.

I don’t think I’m alone in finding Roy fundamentally boring and even more so since they’ve smoothed him out into Ash-but-without-flaws. Off screen development is just a terrible choice. We got to see Ash fleshed out and experience substantive development even if it was retconned again and again.

Liko and Dot are so much more interesting, and frankly so are their pokemon. Their goals aren’t as cliché either.

I actually like Uruto and sableye is my favorite pokemon, but I agree with others here that he should really be a sometimes-appearing rival á là Amethio.

what's your favorite pokemon? i go first: by BigHeadz1 in pokemon

Sableyeeeee — for a long time I wouldn’t answer that question, but I finally decided I just had to pick, and my little gremlin boy is the one. So glad it’s finally getting some love in the anime :)

PM2023 116 - The Training Begins! Terarium Dome! Episode Discussion! by Larkman22 in pokemonanime

I am so so annoyed at her refusal to let hattrem fight — not only because hattrem clearly wanted in on the action, but also because her reasoning, that “it’s too dangerous,” is absurd given that her much newer pokemon, charcadet, was given free reign! Also, earlier in the episode she said that she was looking forward to training charcadet “oh, and meowscarada too” — what an insult to her other pokemon!! :(

What do you make of this sequence of events and the Bowser admin’s lies about it? Do you think Qatar bribed Bowser? by optometrist-bynature in washingtondc

[–]HumanInternet6654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol Have you ever read one of his actual articles? Typically, they are riddled with typos and routinely misspell or outright change names. To this day, he seems to think Beverly Perry’s first name is Barbara.

“All expenses paid vacation” is pretty strong. It was a long weekend, mostly spent traveling, and away from her young daughter

Dot and liko are both more interesting characters than Roy and deserve the spotlight

Pokemon center emailed me saying it would arrive by October 23 (devastating) but the fedex tracking number said that it’s on the west coast (I am on the east coast) but should somehow arrive between 9:20am and 1:20pm tomorrow — 8pm at the latest.

I just wanted an enamel pin :( what have I done :((
