I want...

[Scarlet Weather]

What? We don't want the incredibly amusing looking villain admins? At least with the G admins, we don't have the admins who look almost indistinguishable from the ordinary grunts. (Cough, AQUA AND MAGMA, cough).

Anyway, Hyouta wasn't that BA in my humble opinion. In what way, pray tell, was he different then any of the Hoenn leaders? His strategy was essentially the same as theirs(i.e., use the unique abilities of his Pokemon to kick Ash's tail), but with a little stealth rock thrown in. Meh, I've seen better, and I don't even follow the anime for the most part.

"J" is just like... I don't know, not really good enough. Everyone is shouting "Look, a villain!" as if we'd never had one before. "J" is a competent villain, but she isn't quite evil enough. We don't know her motive at all, and while that should add to the mystery, the fact is that she's too easily foiled. One episode is all she gets and poof! Off she goes to the land of the semi-recurring characters to train for her next glorified cameo. The fact that she isn't affiliated with Galaxy or Rocket pretty much assures that she's basically going to be a recurring villain who shows up every nine episodes or so to break the monotony of Team Rocket fillers.

Actually, as far as battling goes there were a couple of BF episodes I enjoyed, and the battle frontier did come from the games so it was only natural that it at least made a cameo.

Everything on Pokemon is repetitive. This is because the series not only appeals to older people but also to impressionable little kids, and the latter are more easily coerced into purchasing more merchandise. *Shot for lack of evidence* Anyway, I don't think that it's really going to improve all that much. The most we can hope for is a spin-off series with some actual continuity and a slightly more exciting plot, but the odds of this happening are seventy-six trillion to one.

I think they're improving, slowly. Is it the best? No, but it's marginally more acceptable than say, all of Jouto or BF. But, yeah, second to everything SBaby said.

I hope the anime makes Ginga-Dan/Galaxy-Dan not like their game selves, because the G admins are too good to be wasted like that.

As for Hyouta, well, look at his initial match (too tired to dig the Japanese name right now) episode with Satoshi. That's pretty badass to me.

jb, there is a difference being badass and being bad. Heh. As many an anime would tell us.

Improving slowly. Yeah, I think that sums it up of any progress. They really could get some special ideas in for extra flavour into the current repetitive process of an episode. The introduction of contests in AG was interesting, but it did fall out to more interesting seasons of some others.

I agree. They characters can have the potential to be pretty special and cause some damage unlike the game version (which was too much of a R/S/E repeat, just slightly altered).

Yeah I know, but just wondering which part made it like that? O.o

 

[Charaxes]

Hyouta wasn't a BA, per se, no, but more how the writers kinda made him like that. It's been while since we've had "the impossible Pokemon that just won't go down" scenario. Whatever. Heh.

Actually, I didn't think of J like that. You're right -- it's the lowered expectation of this series. Getting so low, I have to take whatever I can get in terms of villains, since an established villain like Sakaki would rather sit with his kitty than do anything.

As for anime Homura/Izumi, oh, I don't know, I loved their drama queen streaks. But game-wise, yeah, Bah.

O.o Right. I never got the impression, but anyway. xD

Repetition, especially of Team Rocket, has seriously made villianous activity seem weak, at least in my opinion. J's a nice addition with the ability to actually impact the thoughts and thinkings into proper action. I just wonder how many episodes J will get...

Umm... who's that? xD I don't know all the names...
