>>53209081They're more interested in trainer interactions or pokemon battles/captures. Or even more than that, a big overarching dramatic plotline. More battleshonen-like pacing, basically.
This self contained pokemon adventure of the day shit doesn't interest them at all. You're either on board with that sort of thinking and you fucking despise MPM, or you love cute lil monster adventures and you're having a good time. And I'm having a good time. My only minor complaint is I wish we got a bit more bratty/angry Ash characterization.
