>>41617089Johto was over twice the length of Kanto, it was fucking riddled with filler and gave us nothing but broken promises. I keep bringing it up, but I'm still fucking mad about the GS ball going fucking nowhere. I know why, but someone should have been fired for that decision.
>>41617157I wouldn't know, I checked out about the time they got to Whitney. Keep in mind I'd been watching this shit every day since the dub started, and I just got utterly sick of it by that point. I occasionally looked back during major events
I was disappointed that nothing happened between Ash and Misty at the end of Johto, for instance. Yeah, yeah, I was a filthy shipperfag.Ultimately, I think what really killed it for me is the realization that 99% of those characters they met each episode would never be seen again. Like, every fucking episode closed with them smiling and waving, and acting like they've become super good friends even though they'll never be brought up again. It felt hollow. Everything felt meaningless and hollow.
