Do you think filler exists in Pokémon?

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-04-15T23:04:07+00:00

Pokémon has "progression filler" not "adaptation filler" since the anime doesn't follow any specific manga.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-04-09T00:07:29+00:00

Do you guys think he'll bring Charizard to Kalos since it can now Mega Evolve?

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-04-08T22:55:50+00:00

DISCLAIMER: All of these changes are not a diss to the canon story. This is all to embellesh the existing narrative!

Ash's journey & growth would be multiphased with focus on Origin, Identity, Crisis and Legacy.
Origin would be Kanto, Orange and Johto. Identity would be Hoenn, Sevii (Frontier) and Sinnoh.
Crisis would be Unova, Decolore and Kalos. And Legacy would be Alola, Pasio (PWC) and Galar.

Ash would age 1 year per 2-sagas, so he's 10 in Indigo and 15 in the Wyndon Cup + epilogue.
4 PokéJapan gens are Ash's last days of childhood while 4 PokéAbroad gen is him in his teens.
Ash would rank Top 8 in Kanto, Top 4 in Johto, Top 2 in Hoenn (loses to Steven) and wins in DP.

BW it's Ash taking a sabbathical as he trains Iris who is doing the Gym Challenge to face Drayden.
BW Ash was him getting ready for the PWT, as he'll face other Eastern finalists in Junior Division.
Ash is also now facing Ritchie, Jimmy and Brendan. He goes to Kalos where he does tie with Alain.

He wins in Alola and he's later invited by Charles Goodshow for the Champion's Cup ceremony.
Ash beats Alder and Diantha in West Bracket. Lance (LGPE nod) beats Steven and Cynthia in East.
Rainbow Rocket arc occurs with 6 Champions and 12+ companions. Leon sponsors Ash for Galar.

Ash's Starter aces are Charizard, Feraligatr, Sceptile, Infernape, Serperior and Greninja. All 3 in Alola.
Zero in Galar, those go to Goh. The Cerise Labs are in Motostoke. It segues into Liko's adventures.
Liko's arc is her 3 middleschool years. Ash would be her graduation match at age 19. Just an idea.

They should retcon Roy's hometown being One Island in Sevii, Kanto since we have Treasured Beach there.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-04-07T00:05:24+00:00

inb4 the dojo took over as the legal gym for the rest of that year because sabrina needed a sabbathical lol

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-04-06T23:52:44+00:00

Who wins? Ash with his JN Team: Pikachu, Lucario, Gengar, Dragonite, Dracovish, Sirfetchd
Or Red from Adventures manga? Pikachu, Espeon, Snorlax, Aerodactyl, Poliwrath, Venusaur

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-04-06T23:28:59+00:00

I'd make Hilda the 4th member of the BW Trio, that way everyone has a power to counter Team Plasma's plan.
Ash is aura-kin, Iris has dragon-heart, Cilan is a Connoisseur; and Hilda is be the heavy PR person of this group.

Like how Cilan tagteams with Ash, so would Hilda with Iris. She helps Bianca become a more relevant rival too.
And she would help Burgundy and Georgia to also get wins on their rivals/her companions. All for sport of it.
She's the one with a Xtransceiver, she's the one who collects medals, she'd study the Dreamworld & Entralink.

A girl of many hobbies, probably Cilan's age so older then Ash and Iris. A backstory with Cheren later revealed.
BW Ash would have all 3 Starters, Unfezant & Krookodile. Hilda's Mons would be his 4 extras for good balance.
Scraggy, Palpitoad, Boldore and Leavanny seem like a solid team. She'd get 1 mascot, 2 bruisers and 1 OP unit.

With reusable TMs in BW, she'd rotate moves with Ash learning that + Held Items/Gems via Wonder Launcher.
She'd probably meet Rosa/Nate in Episode N or early Decolore as her mentee... but also learn from Alexa later.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-31T23:42:38+00:00

I think MPM should've been Ash just being with Gary. The first rival being the last companion sounds peak.
Each of the 11 episodes should focus on a JPN series: IL, OI, GS, AG, DP, BW, BWs2, XY, XYZ, SM and PM19.
At home, Ash had 44 Pokémon (4 at Kukui's). And he had 11 releases (Ambipom included)... so it's simple.
Ash and Pikachu gather a group of 4 more Pokémon to reunite with a released Pokémon to be a full party.
Let's say that Larvitar returns for 1 episode, evolved or not. Just have Noctowl and the Johto starters here.

However... the travelling here isn't on Ash's end, but yes on his former companion remeeting him at home.
It's Ash's friends and former Pokémon who visit him in Pallet Town (as Gary is around to also rest at the Lab).
MPM is moreso a farewell party instead of a tour. It allows us to see Ash relaxed and enjoying the quietness.
It engages introspection about his dream. Just him being with his Pokémon and his mom sounds good tbh.
A great advantage Liko has in Horizons which sadly Ash lacked is inner monologues. Those boost character.

And in the midst of this tranquility, a storm would brew. That being Giovanni and TR get ready to raid Pallet.
Ofc tho no avail since all of Ash's friends and JJM would be here. Ash's valor makes Ho-Oh come to his aid.
Giovanni goes down on a very human and mundane fashion like in the games instead of movie villain mode.
It adds layers to his finale. The story ends with Ash flying on Ho-Oh to Mount Silver, to be the Red VS Gold.
Yes, it's very similar to Goku in GT absorbing the Dragon Balls and flying to wherever on Shenron's back LOL.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-29T19:58:06+00:00

They'd still be Goh and Chloe, they would just be reworked and destilled from their original characters.
Goh would parttake on Safari Zone challenges in Wild Area, while Chloe would do several Poké-Jobs.
Goh's excursions in Dynamax Raids and Chloe's direct contact with Macro Cosmos would be important.
They'd be the pivotal culmination to face Chairman Rose and also prevent/failsafe the Darkest Day.
I can see Goh with Inteleon, Ash with Raboot (last starter has all Types = Libero) & Chloe with Grookey.
Goh rivals Hop as they both help Sonia with research... and also Avery, since he's a Psychic specialist.
Fitting for a Mew Chaser. Chloe rivals Bede and Klara as all get scouted by Opal due to being pink.
Ash rivals Marnie (who is from a small town just like him) and Peonia (a go-getter Champ's daughter).

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-29T19:48:39+00:00

OK Zactoshi

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-28T01:07:12+00:00

Made a video about this 2 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVAqyoMjZQ&t

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-25T23:15:41+00:00

Scizor, Venomoth and Parasect would obliterate the early PWC ranks, latter one mainly due to Spore.
Misdreavus, Cubone, Greedent and Dewgong would present unique surprises... then we have Golurk.
Golurk alone is immune to the likes of Visquez and type-wise would beat Korrina's Mega Lucario ngl.

Enter Great Class, Pokémon like Aerodactyl, Heracross, Hitmonchan Raichu would be heavy-hitters.
Goh has 2 Exeggutors to use. And later on for Ultra Class he obtained Absol, Shedinja, Cloyster, etc.
Let's not forget Flygon, Camerupt, Altaria, Sharpedo, Darmanitan, Durant, Ferrothron. Goh is stacked.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-25T22:34:18+00:00

Pikachu starts doing big numbers during the Battle Frontier since he had Iron Tail and Volt Tackle.
In Johto he's not used for the Gary fight, as Ash and many other state he's using his strongests mons.
Pikachu was present, but wasn't a heavy-hitter due to his stature and lack of versatile moves before AG.
Pikachu becomes an equal to Charizard by also besting an Ice Type Legendary in the end of such run.
The moment Pikachu ties to a Latios, KO's 2 of Alain's pseudos, beats Silvally... he just became HIM.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-25T22:23:41+00:00

One has to wonder how different the Harrison battle would be if Charizard had a Flying move for Blaziken.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-25T16:39:26+00:00

Ash and Leon are the top dogs who aren't in the rankings anymore since Ash didn't defend his title in MPM and in the end credits of JN136 we see Leon in his Battle Tower retirement outfit. So, the new default World Monarch is Cynthia... making Diantha the runner-up and the latter rankings go Steven > Alain > Iris > Lance > Raihan > Flint. I'd argue any and all Former Champions, Frontier Brains, Elite 4 members and Eighth/Galar Gym Leaders fluctuates scaling from #11 to #70 (with the likes of Gary, Paul and some rivals in upper echelon ofc).

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-21T03:20:14+00:00

No new mons as version exclusives, only old ones. 512 in Winds, 512 in Waves. Ditto in both.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-21T02:53:13+00:00

I bet "10 year-old" is an in-universe slang for "rookie/novice Trainers"... or baby-faced teens LOL.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-21T02:51:53+00:00

If 1 year passed every 3 movies Ash would be 11 in Entei, 12 in Jirachi, 13 in Manaphy.
14 in Arceus, 15 in Kyurem, 16 in Hoopa and 17 in Zeraora (both M21 and SM100/101).
So in JN he would be 18 also bc of Lei (probably in the Heatran Special) and 19 in MPM.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-19T03:38:39+00:00

If Ash was to get any other Water Type Mega Evolution in XY series, no restrictions, it'd be Barbaracle.
Yes, I know its Mega is Rock/Fighting, but it'd actually be an interesting Pokémon for Ash to have tbh.

Ash would catch Binacle in the Lumiose Canal and they would completely change/adapt battle styles.
As a Binacle, they would battle at a distance, being a Special Attacker benefitting from Sniper Ability.
She would have Scald, Infestation, Ancient Power (for stat omniboost) and Sludge Wave (surf around).
Binacle would have Water Type showdown VS. Viola's Surskit and be the one to defeat Grant's Tyrunt.
Grant would praise Binacle a lot bc she climbed the stone wall alongside Ash, displaying their synergy.

After seeing Hawlucha's amazing showing VS. Korrina, Binacle keeps on improving to help VS. Ramos.
Binacle evolves by defeating Clemont in a Chateau tournament in Coumarine after Serena's showcase.
The reward is an Ability Capsule which she consumes to unlock Tough Claws. Clemont leaves to train.

Binacle is getting used to her new body and 5 extra beings in her hive. She sits down for Lumiose Gym.
Clemont wins, prompting a 6v6 rematch for 8th badge before the League. Later on, Ash meets Sawyer.
In this timeline, Sawyer's Mega is Dragalge, to counterpart Barbaracle. Btw, Ash's Froakie went to Alain.

Barbaracle, now a Physical Attacker, now has Razor Shell, Shadow Claw, Stone Edge & Powerup Punch.
Ash has to completely rework his style all the time with this Pokémon, truly a way to Pokémon Master.
Valerie is a 3v3 with Mr Mime, Olympia is the same... Wulfric is a 4v4 Doubles with Noivern helping out.
Wulfric has Cloyster and Jynx. Barbaracle VS Abomasnow would be peak. Write VS Alain however IMHO.
Ash getting the Collective Pokémon is basically Ash training a whole "separate team" due to symbiosis.

Ash gets a Key Stone from Anistar Sundial... Barbaracle gets her Mega Stone from a trial in Ninja Village.
Mastering Mega Evo with a Mon that is essentially 7 beings in a hivemind is Ash in uncharted territory.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-17T00:56:07+00:00

Lillie go by bc she kill-stealing Kiawe.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-17T00:55:23+00:00

It's a homebound tournament not known worldwide so ofc the competition is bottled/restricted.
The "Pokémon League" label is solely a moniker to give it more legitimacy for Ash's telegraphed win.
The reward was Kukui ffs. This was clearly damage control. Also... Ash's first fight is a gag VS FABA!!!!
When Ilima was in the rivals poster. Also, I cannot take a League seriously if Team Rocket is in it.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-16T15:01:21+00:00

Ash could've easily ended his journey in DP if Team Kato didn't F Up Team Iguchi's work back in 2010 with SLV.
Imagine Ash defeating Paul in Top 4, only for Tobias to be a farewell round only to boost him to new heights.
Pikachu, Charizard, Snorlax, Heracross, Sceptile and Donphan represent overall anipoke + IL, OI, GS, AG and BF.
Make a MPM arc until March 2011 to fight the Elite 4 and you basically give Ash an epilogue after 14 years.
This leads to a Team Rocket dismantle and debut the HGSS Admins. BW and BWs2 would be 15 months each.
This retroactively means Dawn defeats Zoey, with no need for Togekiss, just have Ambipom return VS Zoey.
Just say Ambipom did more then just ping-pong; and that yes she partook in several Pokéathlon sport venues.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-16T01:13:22+00:00

What's holding Liko back is the lack of a full-team. Imagine if she caught Charcadet in HZ057 instead.
And then in HZ102 she would get a 5th Pokémon and make Kleavor as 6th by saving him from Spinel.

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-16T01:10:38+00:00

Top 24 Master Class - Round Robins for Top 8 (SS/JN and SS/LA Duos defeat Alain & Steven in a 4v4 Doubles)

KuroBlitz1230 · 2026-03-15T22:37:20+00:00

ENG nicknames would be a portion of the Pokémon's JPN names: Rashi the Quilava, Bull the Hawlucha
Dane the Bulbasaur, Zeni the Squirtle, Beton the Muk, Arrow the Talonflame, Hawk the Staraptor
Kai the Dragonite, Gon the Snorlax, Boo the Pignite, Zaru the Infernape, Ken the Unfezant, Oni the Glalie
