>>58883822>SOMETHING, even if not pokemon related, will have to ocuppy the timeslotWe're still 3 months away, I've seen things being announced months in advance, and things announced the week before - like for example One Piece's break in october 2024. Even when they finally decided to go formally seasonal the next year, announcement was 2 months prior.
>i-it doesn't count, it was an emergency because Franky's VA was super ill!And his last episodes were recorded several months in advance, they already knew he had to retire. The announcement could have been much earlier. It wasn't.
>They're as tied as every writer is on a big franchise like this.In most big anime franchises the creative control is literally in hands of their own creators, because they literally own the IP. Pokémon is not an anime franchise, it's a whole money making machine that happens to have an anime. The anime writers have to answer to the suits.
You mention Digimon and precisely it's better because the IP owners let the writers do stuff that TPC and their obsolete hierarchy will never let the writers allow to.
>And it fulfilled itPartially. I don't think it's a full flop, but it's not a masterpiece. There's plenty of moments where it could have done better, and no coming from the ashnime doesn't justify stuff like what they did with Roy's character post timeskip.
>I know you're not arguing in good faithlol at the projection. I could say the same about you.
god you're the literal mirror of famon
