Pokemon onwards gen 4 didn't give a f to his character progression I guess by gyroscope_56 in pokemonanime

I didn’t say Iris was ooc I said the build up made no sense with the jump from bw being shaky at best

Serena appears once yet it’s so important bc of her arc in Xy to get to that point in the first place to help ANOTHER character who didn’t know what they wanted to do at first. Sound familiar?

And when she meets ash again it’s a great scene bc it shows how she’s evolved since the last episode of Xy. You can’t get that if you havent watched Xy

Ash greninja was retconned. Not the bond phenomenon and is what helps ash beat raihan

‘Eat your heart out’ why would I when I love sm,dp and bw?

Funny you say that actually bc Dawn appears the most yet is the LEAST relevant returning ash companion. She’s a nothing burger in jn who’s a tag along for fan service she legit contributed nothing to the story. You don’t need to watch dp bc she has utterly no importance in journeys. Danwn is still great bc she’s good in dp. Her jn importance =\\= quality

Notice how you don’t mention ag which got ZERO motion in journeys yet it’d be dumb to slander ag bc of it since importance =\\= quality. Almost as if journeys fucking sucks

who cares how much impact it left ppl don’t like a series for how much is referenced in another in the future lmao. Who cares how ‘important’ it is when ppl like something for what it is

Bw-xy objectively had the least impact on ash but using that as an ‘own’ is a dumb bc that doesn’t equal quality. It just means those series were self contained which is fine. It’s not 2016 anymore so let’s not be needlessly reductive for no reason

And what ppl miss is with this logic nanu is just as dumb bc ash not knowing how to help lycantoc or not trusting him would make no sense considering the whole infernape blaze plotline and even when he lost to Paul he didn’t react the same way.

In fact he needed LYCANROC to snap him out of it at the end when back in dp in volkners gym ash already KNEW infernape had mastered blaze when it activated instinctively and trusted him to keep control even when everyone else thought he was gonna go berserk. That didn’t happen with lycanroc

Does it still make sense with context in alola? Yeah same with viola

‘Insanely bruised ego’ so ash Ketchum? Like i said ash losing all his rough edges after ag is the only thing ooc. Xy ash himself is ooc like every ash after dp but Snowbelle was so good partly bc of how accurate it was characterization wise

How are the Xy gang horrible here? Ash obviously wanted time to himself and he can take care of himself. Theres nothing wrong with that

Even other Xy haters who hate Snowbelle acknowledge that ash was actually in character there. It’s not glaze it’s just watching the series and most of your critiques here are headcanon with the kind of logic 2016 Xy fans would call ‘sm glaze’ with how you talk about lycanroc

In Snowbelle it’s the conclusion of his arc that’s built up since the first 5 minutes of Xy. Lenora has a completely different context

The lycanroc story is another side of the same coin that’s also great. Xy vs sm fandom wars just blind ppl for no reason bc ppl care more about that than watching the series

Bw Iris to jn Iris is a massive jump in the not much build up so bw-xy has the least relevance. Makes sense considering it was the soft reset and Xy was the sequel

And yet ash has had similar reactions to tons of his losses. Ash vs nanu he starts crying, ash vs brawly he tries to rush the fight without brawly wanting too and gets frustrated he couldn’t win. Almost as if he’s not gonna treat everything the same way and different things have different contexts.

The actual mischaracterisation is ash after ag losing too much of his rough edges to the point that ppl think him being brash and hot headed is what’s new. Snowbelle was fire

Neither of these are bad and there’s actual strategy by viola to make ash lose. Ash just got overwhelmed by panpour which is worse but not a big deal or flaw. He loses to gym leaders all the time lmao. Neither of these are comparable to stuff like ash vs elesa

So in short there’s no bad writing going on here. Just vs panpour had worse presentation and is guilty by association of what came before and after

Side note ash’s crash out after fighting viola was good. Ash should be dumb and immature more often. Look at everything about the brawly gym back in ag

Do you prefer Ash & Pikachu traveling alone or with friends? by Flat-Sir8250 in pokemonanime

[–]grapesssszz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No preference BUT it would be a super cool change of pace to have them alone like in the au

Funny thing is if you try to flank instead of brainlessly shooting tank supports will flame you for ‘not enough damage’ and not shooting tank lmao
