People justified the cuts with stuff that became trivial or unused later on, only cameos were tied to game releases as opposed to earlier series (Even XY had a mention of Dawn's Piplup), while battles were a tadbit more fluid in some instances the general quo was made clear on the SoL portion, which had an negative impact on the overall battling side of the series.
Entering Manola conference and we are diving deep into the shitshow that is plotcontrivancy-levels of "Bend it to make it work for me".
The knowledge that a majority of characters of the top 16 wouldn't have be there if it wasn't a battle royale, which alone is a retarded method to weep out players because of the many issues present, dampers down tension and hype.
The first two battles for Ash felt like a fucking joke with an untrained mythical pokemon oneshotting an Hypno, which evolves through EXPERIENCE, and the Hau fight was a low-level bait it's unreal.
Guzma was based, so we leave him alone.
The finals were underwhelming from the start with the 3vs3, being lacking of teamplay towards the past.
The dogs match were from sheer move execution a copy/paste of the frog vs lizard fight, the rock-type edition.
After Guzzlord swoops in, the reward match got fucked because Kukui felt like it, that Tapu Riki battle felt like it should have been done outside of the league.
And everytime someone brings up the flaws, someone will be:
>MUH HOME ARORA FAMILIANOSI remember a bunch of pissed off SMfags in the comment section at the reveal of the masters 8 that doesn't address Ash as the arora champion and their insecurity spiked and became just as superior because of an interview shortly afterwards, even editing their seething comments.
Then we are back at the Champion returns to Alola episode and SMfags probably screamed in elation at the monologue at the end, only to be cucked because no one of Arora got even an silent cameo in Ash's Match.
