now that the dust has settles, what the fuck were they thinking
>>58496640Gay ass anime for fags
All those kids lost their homes in the tsunami, let's cheer them up by making the shittiest season of Pokemon we possibly can
>>58496640Cameron's team was a 100000 times better than Ash here so why are people mad
>>58496640Let's keep this show going forever.
>>58496640>>58496640Unironicaly: humiliation ritual
Had to rush to get to Kalos because they cut the generation down after Sinnoh was a 4 year development. The real sins stem from how they ended Sinnoh, and anything BW did couldn't redeem itself with Ash as the protagonist. Especially after the earthquake
>Ash is a complete retard>Iris gives him shit for it but isn't much better herself and most of her criticisms of him apply to herself too>These two morons are in the Top 8 trainers in the whole world a couple of months later
>>58496772I really hated how Iris was done.She is supposed to be a dragon trainer - but is instead introduced with Excadrill as her strongest pokemon, with her Axew just being a cute mon that does almost nothing for the duration of the BW anime.So they end up handing Iris a super-strong Dragonite on a silver platter. And it wins a ton of fights even when its disobeying her because its just retard strong without any training. Even beats Dawn's Mamoswine.
>>58496640What’s the best season of the pokemon show? Movies as well. I was a pokefreak as a kid but I only ever got into the games (gen 3) and the show wasn’t on regularly enough for me to catch it on cartoon network or whenever it was airing
>>58496851Just watch original series, advanced and the dp. I think you'll enjoy them all though I personally foumd advanced boring (May's arc carried it for me). After that if youre still interested might as well give BW a try before going to XY
>>58496851Having seen all movies up to movie 15, Movie 3 (Entei) is probably the undisputed best.Best season is harder for me to pin down. The original series was the zaniest and most fun but inconsistent, most of Advance, DP, and XY were fine.So I'd really just note that Johto felt weaker for having too much samey feeling filler, BW is bad for Ash being a drooling retard and having to ditch its overarching plot, and I just didn't get into SM and dropped the anime there.
>>58496767But they didn't rush to Kalos, they did those whole extra arcs with CHARIZARD after the league.
>>58496640The thing is they HAD an out. they could've just had Ash beat Cameron, advance to Virgil, and then get bodied because he doesn't know what a Fairy type is. That's excusable.
Even Shudo at his bleakest and most deranged couldn't have come up with the Unova League.
>>58496772Shooty was such an abortion of a character. If he had any fans I feel bad for them.
>>58497258You could have maybe done something interesting with him winning against Ash the second he got his first Pokemon and thinking he's hot shit when he's not but instead Ash just kept losing to him every time they met and it's completely embarrassing. People single out the league but the whole season is just humiliating Ash, even Dawn treats him like shit during the arc she cameos.
I wish I could watch or like the anime but ash is so fucking ugly and seriously stupid looking and as much as I love ikue otani I had Pikachu shilling Also Brock and Misty in particular are insanely fucking ugly too. Jeez
>>58496851DPOSXYJourneysSMBW
>>58496772>a couple of months laterkukui impregnated a woman and got a toddler from it between ash leaving alola and ending up in the top 8if anything everything up to alola took place across a couple of months
>>58497486I forgot advanced, but you can't blame be, shit was boring as fuck.Put advanced under journeys
Alola was peak Farmer's/Uber Eats League full of farmers. Unironically Orange Islands is more impressive, him defeating the frontier brains is a more impressive feat as well, but him beating a bunch of bumfuck Islanders is supposed to be impressive? Nah dawg.
>>58497503Winning Alola was basically winning at the special Olympics
>>58496757Everything since the BW reset was a humiliation ritual for Ash.Even when he finally won it felt like he lost because all his wins all felt cheap and unearned and like damage control. Too little, too late.Ironically enough, in hindsight, Tobias of all things, ended up being something that made Ash look good even if it cucked him out of the League.It's incredible how all of this happened because Yuyama was a raging mindbroken autist that no one had the balls to tell "fuck off". The man was so fucking obsessed he actually wanted to make Ash lose the Alola League too. Can you imagine the reaction had that happened? If he'd even lost THAT? I almost want to live in that timeline because the mockery would have been out of this world and the people of that timeline also probably are the lucky ones who didn't have to suffer through Shitneys since it likely didn't exist on it.
>>58497528At least Journeys had Alain getting obliterated by the paki, Ash vs Cynthia and the pikachu remembering his friends scene
>>58497575>Leonwank>Good>Ash vs Cynthia full of cheap animation and Cynthia losing 50IQ points and no Sinnoh team>Good>Cheap last minute nostalgiapandering instead of having the reserves be used through the entire season>GoodNo.
>>58497575>Alain getting obliteratedNot even an Alainfag but that was bullshit
>>58497575Ash never once defeating Alain himself is retarded
