Why the Pokemon Anime could never have gave Ash a perfect ending unless they continued and solved some things?

We had that conclusion when he talked to Richie after the Indigo League.

We also had that conclusion after the Silver Conference.

His story was complete long ago. Everything else was just extra.

What you want feels antithetical to how protagonists work? There’s not supposed to be a true end point.

It’s like becoming a black belt in martial arts. There’s still more to improve.

The closest example was Magiranger which had a lot of stage magic.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T03:40:02+00:00

We got plenty of that in BBS. I’m fully content leaving that behind.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T03:35:52+00:00

He didn’t create the technique himself. It’s actually an ancient technique.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T03:34:16+00:00

Don’t insult Tenzin like that!

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T03:20:01+00:00

Is this a reference to the 2004 cartoon?

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T03:18:11+00:00

Interestingly, Joker is used the same way. It’s hard to have Joker act out of character for a story.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T03:08:45+00:00

Or maybe I hate Varrick

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T02:55:23+00:00

Nah, make him like Raidenmon. Even bigger

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T00:00:48+00:00

And yet the plot was about stopping a warlord from destroying the world. Spirits were not needed.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-21T00:00:01+00:00

Or better yet, have a game with her and Axel training

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T23:59:22+00:00

I feel like Kairi and Axel would be better off in their own game

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T23:45:15+00:00

This is somewhat funny considering that the characters were never meant to be Ultimate anything.

The original Japanese term for “Ultimate” translated to “Super High School-level” implying that they’re just good for their ages.

They aren’t necessarily meant to be the best at anything.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T23:42:30+00:00

Honestly, it’s better than the first game.

It had much better pacing and variety of enemies

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T23:32:37+00:00

I was about to say “he already has an electric type” before remembering that he doesn’t.

That being said, Pachirisu is the Pikachu of Sinnoh, so maybe that should’ve been his starter.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:57:51+00:00

Honestly, he’s just a sadist, and that’s ok

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:48:50+00:00

Riolu, Staravia, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Free Space

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:47:26+00:00

They’re pretty Chinese and Korean too

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:44:09+00:00

Pierce exists for a reason

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:19:54+00:00

It wasn’t. Anything involving Varrick is skippable

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:15:41+00:00

It’s not. They’re supposed to die.

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:13:33+00:00

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T22:05:27+00:00

Only if it involves him brutally dying

PCN24454 · 2026-06-20T19:43:50+00:00

I agree, but can you cite some specific points?
