    Given there were little options as far as Kalos Pokemon were considered, it was hard so they decided to give him nothing but Flying-types and the resident Water starter.

    And here I was hoping for a well-balanced team for Ash like in Sinnoh.

    Apparently a slightly edited version of the opening titles has revealed that Ash will be the one catching Noibat. I'm kinda dismayed at that, because that'll be his third Flying-type caught in Kalos. Seriously, are the writers like so obsessed with giving Flying-types to him or something? Or even the fact they're replacing his just released strong Dragon-type with an extremely weak one?

    Eevee was also shown in the new opening wearing some dress-up which means Serena will be catching it. I hope they evolve it into a Sylveon because it would look nice with her.

    The arc in Diamond & Pearl where Torterra had to change strategies due to gaining weight from evolution really cost him badly, since he ended up getting overshadowed by Infernape towards the end of the series.

    At least he's a bit better than Torterra.

    It's like the poor thing only exists to be humiliated in every battle.

    Hawlucha confirmed to be the new Torterra, and that saddens me. :(

    I have a feeling Fletchinder and maybe Pikachu will likely have to do a lot of this Gym, especially as Hawlucha will likely become a fall guy again if he got used, just like what happened to him against Ramos.

    Have they not realized that Ash will be facing Valerie soon? That alone will prove to them Goodra won't be overshadowing his other Pokémon.

    Yeah it's weird. I was reading TV Tropes earlier today and I think I saw an excuse on why Ash's Goodra left the main cast: so he could avoid overshadowing his other Pokemon

    The excuses keep coming, especially with all those popular forums like Bulbagarden and Serebii when it comes to reviewing the episodes.

    Makes me wonder if the other dub companies are richer than TPCi, since they no longer have that issue before.

    A discussion about why the dub keeps replacing the Japanese music. Apparently most of the music used in the original Japanese version is owned by Miyazaki Shinji and if the US dubbers try to use the music they have to pay him loads in royalties, so to avoid going through that they make their own music and insert that into the dub instead.

    Still, it's incredibly lazy because I was expecting new opening titles and a new title card to accommodate the new short-haired Serena but they decided "no we'll just leave it as it is and not show her new look in the opening until the next season".

    I'll be explaining my thoughts about it on the review thread.

    Dude bad news... the anime's dub opening got left unchanged. So that means little kids will be confusing short-haired Serena for an entirely new character. Seriously disappointed in you, TPCi.
