What made them think that taking this direction was a good idea?
he had too much character development in DP because of Infernape, gotta reset all of that
They wanted to have their cake and eat it too. Reboot the anime without rebooting it. So Ash is back to being a newbie trainer except all his adventures are still canon.
As awful as the Unova anime was at least it was better than Kalos.
>>59232362I never watched the anime because I only care about the Pokémon, not Ash.Does he at least fight Team Plasma, N and Ghetsis in the anime or does he just dick around in Unova?
A Horizons-esque direction should've been a thing after Sinnoh, prove me wrong
>>59232451>Team Plasma A few grunts, the main plot involving them got scrapped>NSupporting character, not a villain
>>59232362>A popular fan theory about the first 3 gym leaders being the Shadow Triad was actually in the cards>It got scrapped because animeI'm mad.
>>59232531If GF wanted to commit to it then they could’ve told the anime staff to pick another male character to be Ash’s companion or just make an OC.
>>59232362>top rightThat one's not too bad, I miss when he could just catch stuff in the original series. It's so boring how every new catch has to have an entire episode devoted to it when you know exactly how it's going to end.Thing I hated most about BW was the animation. The anime wasn't known for thrilling choreography before, but it was still better than reusing the same stock footage of every attack with the same coloured background over and over and over again.
>>59232531That was never confirmed. Not even in the leaks.
Ash was conscripted into the Pokemon war and replaced with a flash clone in the BW series.
>>59232463>"Horizons is good" in big 2026
Yuyama being a fucking schizo obsessed with making Ash an eternal 10 years old loser.
>>59232362If they'd structured the BW anime like the DP or XY animes what do you reckon his core team would've been?
>>59232957Wasn't the only one. Rica also likes that interpretation of Ash.
>>59232531>A popular fan theory about the first 3 gym leaders being the Shadow Triad was actually in the cardsWrong, faggot.
>>59232463It would have been perfect after Johto.Good after Diamond.Okay after x and y.But alas, we got it after sun and moon.
>>59232362The Roxie gym battle was so weird with the 6v3, I like Roxie but the anime just really overdid into shilling her for BW2's release by being an opponent so strong Ash needed a handicap of double her pokemon to beat her.And then in-game she is just gym leader #2 with some L15 mons.
>>59232362Brock was his tard wrangler
>>59232433So why not just make ash the mentor for a new protagonist? Ash still gets to hog screentime so the kiddies wont stop watching and you get the newbie trainer reboot at the same time
>>59232451>>59232477Didnt jessie and james fight more team plasma guys than ash or am i misremembering?
>>59232362Anyone have the gif of him scanning a Koffing with his Pokedex like he's never seen one before?
never watched past gen 3 anime, are the others worth watching?
>>59233551Before the mind rotted coomers tell you otherwise, let me tell you gen 4 is beyond trash. The newer stuff is aggressively mid but could be a lot worse.
>>59233551No. The first two dp movies are good, so I suppose watching the first 3ish episodes of the dp anime might be worth it just so you know how dawn and ash met, but that's about it.
