You don't understand at all!
The pacing is not just a problem for SM in particular...the pacing of the pokemon anime is shit since Johto because of their stupid marketing choices.
On a series like SM with the new formula, it's a even worse thing to do.
We have way more material than others series and still they delete things like Trial Captain, install a school setting, change the adventure into a fucking slapstick and slow down the show.
Anyway, they already fucked up...it's probably way too late without a big plot rush.
In a normal anime pacing Akala should have started at episode 13 and finish at something like 36.
I still wait for the day when the Pokemon Anime will finally stop that bullshit.
