The thing is that those "lesser" members do actually exist. That's what Zir and Conia were there for, but as Amethio was pushed to the sidelines so where they. While the second arc did spend a lot of time developing the main trio none of that involved the Explorers, and so most of the episodes...

I think the first arc was stronger than the second, but this one had a better conclusion. A big battle with Rayquaza with multiple Explorers members being involved was far better than Friede conveniently escaping a mine that he was supposedly trapped in. However, I think the Floragato evolution...

As the year approaches its end, what was everyone's favourite moment in the anime this year?

Looks like a nice, chill, comfy show, but her Girafarig neck bothers me way too much.

Landorus-T survived, while Tyranitar fell again.

The issue is power scaling. Liko and Roy are complete newbie trainers being thrown into fights they should never be able to win, so the writers have to result to Friede or a deus ex machina to bail them out of the situation. It wouldn't make much sense for completely inexperienced trainers to...

Garchomp and Heatran in UU? What a time to be alive.

It's really episode 7 that truly puts the power levels to display. A very enjoyable training episode from all sides. I'll say that I find the Rising Volt Tacklers to be an incredibly enjoyable group of characters, and I'm looking forward to spending some time once per week to see them...

I overall liked the episode, but having Liko beat Conia offscreen was disappointing. I understand that they tried to get in a lot of events into the second half, and had to cut something short as a result, but Liko is the main character. Even if the fight had just been click Leafage easy win...

I like that they didn’t show Roy yet. There’s more than enough going on these first two episodes, with Liko, her relationship to Sprigatito, the pendant, everything with the Brave Asagi, the Explorers, etc.. Since he doesn't seem to be directly involved with the pendant business it's better to...

I'll be honest, the song isn't doing anything for me. Maybe it'll be different when I get to hear it in conjunction with visuals in two weeks. In this context, Shojo, sometimes spelt shoujo, refers to anime targetted towards girls.

In my mind there was no conceivable way to provide a proper finale to a 25+ year show like Pokémon in the span of 11 episodes. If you want to bring proper closure to all the of tiniest aspects of the show, then you'll get an uneven production, one that rushes through each conclusion, leaving...

Friede is German for peace. Whether that's important to any agree is to be determined.

Rayquaza is still a bit of an odd choice given that it isn't in the Paldean Pokédex. Still, having a third generation Pokémon after having had Mew and Ho-Oh from the first two is a sensible continuation. At the end of the day it comes down to execution, and for the time being we can only...
