>>31602951Not him, but compared to XY around episode 13ish we still had a really good conversations going about the future of the series.
>will ash get a mega ring>where will serenas crush go>will ash receive a lucario from korrina>will Serena or Clemont recieve a mega ring>will Ash have a rival>What role will Blaziken Mask have>Which mega will Ash get if he obtains one>how prominent will Megas be in the seriesAll that and more was on top of the episode discussion which up until that point had generally all been important episodes. 9 or so of the first 13 episode had us all excited and hyped for the future.
With Sun and Moon it's hard to really speculate on everything because we still don't know how they're going to handle the rest of the trials and on top of that the real main protagonist of the SM games was Lillie. Anime Lillie is already vastly different then her with the inclusion of Vulpix, her fear of touching Pokemon, and lack of Nebby even though she has memory loss.
It's hard to tell what direction the series is taking in comparison it was easy for XY because it followed the formula we've always known.
SM has so far been more episodic then anything were used to for Pokemon. There is no rush for Ash to head to Trials because there is no final tournament that urges him to finish it in a set time unlike other regions where he has to obtain all the badges before he can enter the League which will start without him if he doesn't get them all in time.
