>>51499842i've always felt like the anime staff really loves pokemon and puts effort into making every episode, however gamefreak was really fucking lazy when making sword and shield and i feel like that pushed the anime staff into a corner so they had to try something different and learn as they made more episodes, as a result we barely explored galar and a ton of fights had no build up or stakes
but there's something about paldea that tells me things could be better like there will be way more things to explore and maybe as a result ash will have way more adventures there and the anime staff will just have more content to work with to write a better anime
