Doesn't mean they weren't poorly done, though. The bolded part in particular - Lazy writing. Not to mention that Pokemon fan sites are a vocal minority. The Hoenn League really was nothing special. The Sinnoh league sucked because the other rivals ended up being used as a stepping stone for...

Thanks for proving there's nothing wrong with it. Getting better at your profession =/= CHARACTER development. This is hypocritical coming from you. Agreed. Maybe not in OS and AG, but definitely in some of the later seasons. I agree, and they're even more robotic in XY. Sinnoh had...

When did they tell us it was the same Mewtwo?

We're talking about those that did follow him, though. He got tired out each time he called for an electric attack. You don't think beating the BF and then making Top 4 in Sinnoh is considered a "regression"? In the games. They could have proved that WITHOUT making Ash lose. Why not give...

This isn't meant to group everyone into a hivemind, all it is, is taking complaints - valid or not - and seeing how they apply to other series. You're right about your last sentence, but then shouldn't some people stop trying to bring down the BW series to make other series look better? I'm not...

Here's a list of double standards for this series of the anime: "Lilia (Iris) gets handed a Dragoran (Dragonite)!" So Lucia (Dawn) didn't get handed a Togekiss or a speed-evolving Quiekel (Swinub)? Maike (May) didn't get handed an overpowered Schiggy (Squirtle) and Evoli (Eevee)? And Misty...

And XY isn't? You can't speak for everyone, some people might want experience to take down prodigies like you said, OR the other way around. If Ash is overpowered to the point where only an "overpowered rival/impossible challenge" can take him on, where's the conflict then? Ash had to be...

1. I still beg to differ. I mean, I thought he was better in BF (see Ash vs. Brian (Brandon) or even the Hoenn league) than DP. 2. You mean like they gave Maike's (May) girly traits to Lucia (Dawn) and turned it up to 11? 3. I suppose it depends on what you care more about: rivalry or...

#1: I can kind of see where you're coming from, but to be honest, at no point did I think Ash was a great trainer. I don't think XY made him into a "god", though they certainly go out of their way to treat him like one. #2: It's not really "teaching" anything. So does that mean Misty isn't a...

Did you watch the episode? All he saw was her hair, which DOES look weird. Does that mean that Ash was stupid in AG for using a normal type move against a Gengar when he had electric and steel type moves then?

#1: I didn't think Ash was much stupider, if at all. Nothing can top that one moment in DP I mentioned earlier in terms of idiocy for me. #2: It was done nearly every episode. Sometimes they used different variations, but same thing. And it was ALWAYS followed by "That's when I/we worry the...

For every smart moment he had, he had at least one not-so-smart moment, the same is true for every series. So if Ash has a newly caught Leufeo (Litleo), it should be able to put up a fight against Giovanni's experienced Rizeros (Rhydon), right? What "wrong information"? That quote proved...

Agreed with Wobbu. He seemed like the studious type, so it was only natural he know what to do in nearly any situation.

#1: (DP) Did they have to make Ash look directly at Damhirplex (Stantler) RIGHT AFTER consulting the Pokedex about the hypnotic powers of its horns? This wasn't the first time, either. If that's not stupid I don't know what is. (AG) He tries to catch a Geckarbor (Treecko) without weakening it as...

Ash was never all that smart, remember in early AG when he tried to capture Geckarbor (Treecko) without weakening it? Maike (May even called him out on it. Yeah, but it was a newly caught Pokemon he was using, Pikachu shouldn't have even STRUGGLED. I don't look at episode previews or even...
