>>54841908At least finish Johto before switching animation styles!
>>54841923Agreed.
>>54842174>It was already soulless during Johto because they had to hastily rewrite the entire thing around Azalea Town in order to scrap Celebi because executive meddling genuinely thought it'd be no big deal to completely axe the GS Ball payoff in favor of making Celebi a movie star instead.The anime died with the GS Ball. It never fully recovered from that.
>It also didn't help they weren't really sure how to balance Ash and his team, so they slowly got rid of most of his staples resulting in this weird canyon of decreased challenge after Falkner that didn't fix itself until Whitney.This wouldn't have been a problem if they changed protagonists each generation. Let us follow Kenta/Jimmy/Yoshi's adventure.
