I still don't know what they were thinking with the alola redesign. Galar is also shit.
Was it just to make animation easier?

Childhood is watching the anime.
Teenagerhood is hating the anime because it's "not mature enough for me".
Adulthood is wasting time online brainstorming all the many ways that they could've made the anime better.
30s depression is rewatching the anime and being hit like a truck realizing it's comfy-kino perfection.

The Ashime was dogshit

Can't handle the ugly Alola and Galar art desu

Ash should have been dropped after Johto

>>59408979
They wanted to make him look like a 10 year old again, since by the XY anime he looked and acted more like a teenager

Employing the anti social media wall of text. Illiterate Zoomers fuck off:
>watched the first ~3 gens naturally (alongside the movies) back on release, but then stopped
>eventually start a rewatch shortly after Kalos started
>watch all the way up to Unova
>didn't give a shit about Unova's "serious" turn or the crime of making Team Rocket unfun and dull (that was Unova, right?)
>quit for a little while, but came back shortly after to start Kalos
>not too many real complaints about Kalos other than some gen 1 pandering
>Kalos league begins and I stop watching the show, instead just hang around the anime threads here instead of reading a summary
>for once it actually seems like the writers are being allowed to let Ash win
>writers pull what's probably the second biggest asspull of the franchise to ensure Ash wont win (#1 being that guy with the legendaries completely curbstomping Ash, holy shit. Uh, whatever his name was? Tobias?)
>whole internet is mad, allegedly even the writers
>stop caring about the threads and the summaries
>feel relief when the next series is more laid back and casual
>watch and like Alola the whole way through, though I don't care for the Z-moves, just like in the games
>still skip the "league" regardless, though I join people in the "it's not a real league" faction and wonder if the writers will ever let Ash win a real league
>watch a little Galar since I like the world-traveling gimmick, though I skip any actual Galar episodes because fuck gen 8 and fuck the Max mechanic. Double fuck the gen 1 pandering
>at this point I don't care much (though I hear Ash won and there's a new protag)
>start watching Paldea because I'm curious about the new protag
>show's alright and I like the travel focus, but I really don't give a shit about the tropey new evil team
>drop the show when it pulls the "literally everyone thinks the protags are evil" card because I hate that trope

Makes sense to me, nigga.

Galar, I don't fuckin' know, that whole gen doesn't exist to me.

I tried rewatching it but you need the patience of a toddler to enjoy Team Rocket interrupting the plot for the gorillionth time.

Ash was a mistake
>>
>>59408622
Yet the Ash from "The Power Of Us" is still the hottest and best designed Ash.
>>
>>59408622
No

>>59408622
Good fucking riddance. He'll never come back btw, if you're lucky you're getting a cameo.
>>59408629
No. I stopped when I was 13 or 14 because it got too childish and boring for me. Everyone who kept watching it beyond that age is a manchild autist. Ash is an extremely boring and one-dimensional character that only someone with the mind of a child would care about.

That being said, I do watch Horizons, but I'm not super invested. It definitely does a way better job at showcasing the Pokémon world because it doesn't focus on muh battling.

I'll always have a soft spot for the character and will even miss him, but agreed. There's no way you can make him compelling without making him a completely different character, and his design is pretty fucking forgettable and even downright mediocre. If he wasn't the protagonist, no one would have given him a second glance.
I'd only be interested in seeing a reboot of the anime if written right, but what would even be the point of that? Even if they rewrote Ash and made him a interesting character, there's no way they'd be able to cover his multi-region run without running into the same problems. His character arc realistically wraps around Johto, especially in a reboot where he'd predictably get his act together earlier. Anything beyond that would essentially be beating a dead horse.
>>
>>59409427
No one would be happy with a rebooted and rewritten Ash though. People who never cared about Ash would rather just have a new character, and the Ash autists are gonna have a meltdown because they just want to see 2000 new episodes of "Ash wants to become le Pokayman master (and is forced to job again so his journey can continue)"
>>
>>59409376
Literally nobody cares about Roy except some very vocal faggots on the Serebii forums.

Do we know if Liko is going to stay the protag?
Would be amazing from a coomer angle if Meowscarada is and stays her "Pikachu" and we get a decade of delicious cat thighs and tons of candid screencaps of said cat thighs.
I can't imagine they'd separate the two since they're apparently being viewed as "sisters" by a non-zero number of staff in charge of the anime.

Liko herself kinda sucks though, she never really caught on with me.
For a while I kinda expected the post-Ash franchise to rotate out new people every series, but I'm not getting the vibe they'll do that.

>>59409047
>drop the show when it pulls the "literally everyone thinks the protags are evil" card because I hate that trope
That was barely a plot point. And it wasn't that they were being seen as evil, they were seen as reckless to the point of point of potentially being dangerous.
>>
>>59409014
If you didn't realize the ashnime's issues during childhood then you didn't stop being a child

>>59409495
Its very likely she and Roy will be rotated given basically their entire journey is tied to the plot.
They weren't rotated yet because they have to stall until WW.
>>
>>59409460
>No one would be happy with a rebooted and rewritten Ash though. People who never cared about Ash would rather just have a new character
Precisely. The only way to make Ash or his series good is by writing a character that isn't Ash.
>>
>>59409493
brown men will get behind him because they want to imagine banging a little japanese girl

Roy is such a pointless character kek

>>59409625
nah, someone called Sham, Sirgoldenhand and Blue Saturday. They're all Irisfags too, so it's pretty obvious why they like Roy.

>>59409047
The "protagonists are evil" thing ends up being brought up like three times. it's not really a big plot point.
>>
>>59409495
>Do we know if Liko is going to stay the protag?
Lmfao, fuck no, she and her ugly cat are getting dumped off in the same Dumpster with Ash as soon as Gen 10 is fully here

>>59408622
Unrecognizable by modern times like Donald Trump

More like the way god intended, many franchises like Digimon, Yugioh and many other jp kid's IPs have this format and it's for the better.

I'd hope you think about how your country is falling apart regularly, yes. Those kinds of thoughts SHOULD live in your head so you're motivated to fix it.
