>>51554454I don't think that Arora being boring is the problem. But rather making it stand on equal meaning or effort to what we were previously used to for good 18-19 years.
Galar could've been the regular approach with the Gym Challenge, Rose arc and stuff the usual, and mixed with Goh's MC position, where they do some research stuff like every month once or twice, as in compared to making it the starting line when JN came out for the first 15-17 episodes or core center of the current run.
>>51554484Also this. If I had to put it into words that pictures the image, it that they builded up hype around the ironic message of symbolising previous defeats they build it, but couldn't properly build up everything else surrounding and completing the conference. If we had seen the classmates being strong trainers or being on the level of say Hau's trials of experience, then fine, but they threw the base of what was taken away in the Journey Ash went through in each league, and instead focused it all around him standing out rather than making the conference standing out besides the bad selection method.
