>>44543013>Has the anime gotten good yet, or are they still just fucking around?The anime has always been good outside of BW, and even then BW has its value...just not with Post-DP Ash as its protagonist.
>Gettin' real peeved that they decided to pull this with what should have been the Galar region adventure.Gen 8 a shit but opening shows Ash vs Eternatus is coming up and we know Zacian and Zamazenta will be relevant soon.
> was super excited for them to show a bunch of cool English stuff, but no. They go to every region BUT Galar.Actually they've been to every region (including Galar) but Alola. Even then, new opening shows Ash's class so we know there is going to be some episodes in Alola soon. Kalos exists less than Galar as well, seeing as it has only one episode.
>Is Ash even collecting badges?Badges are a pretty shit mechanic that serve to make the anime overly formulaic and mundane. No, instead Ash is participating in the World Tournament by challenging other participants. He's Rank 909 out of over 10,000 currently, has defeated Korrina and is going to fight Bea in a few episodes.
By the end of this saga he should be fighting as one of the Top 8 battlers in the world and is aiming to fight Leon, who is the World Champion.
>And whatever happened to that girl that we all expected to be the 3rd travel companion?She isn't a 3rd travel companion but she is slowly but surely gaining development and focus. Don't expect her to be a 'companion' for a while yet.
