Were there ever any filler episodes you actually liked?

Pokemon is like a ball of filler.

Nothing seems important, nothing seems to change. Ash never actually gets anywhere, and they don't show much or any character development.

So I can't exactly tell if what I liked was 'filler' or not.

How come people never bitch when characters like the Simpsons or Spongebob never age, but when it's Ash it's like SOME BIG deal.

Because the Simpsons and Spongebob are extremely episodic compared to Pokemon. You can jump into any Simpsons or Sponebob episode and you don't have to know much about prior continuity nor is prior continuity relevant to the plot. With Pokemon it's a continuous story so it's weird as fuck for the characters not to age. Especially when they specifically reference time like "The Pokemon league is one month away!"

Spongebob and the Simpsons are comedy series. They don't have a plot. Or the implications of time passing.

The point is you didn't give examples of shows that were anything like pokemon.

Yeah that one one with Mawile. That little fucker is the most adorable little shit in the entire anime IMO. No wonder team rocket tried to capture it, IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE JUST LOOK AT IT!

Everyone in this thread, do yourself a favor and go and watch "Once in a Mawile!" from Advanced Generation.

Erm, no; he just doesn't like shit shows, which Pokemon is.

It was tolerable at first, but around Johto, you can damn near pinpoint when the writers realized that Ash was going to be on the show for an incredibly long time.

I liked the filler eps in the first 100 episodes, but after that they were all Naruto level bad.

At least the first set of filler served a purpose, usually each one featured a new pokemon that you got to learn about. The later ones were ash and gang dicking around in the forest.

Pretty much all the best episodes of Indigo League are the filler ones. After that, the writing goes downhill, but the characters get better, if that makes sense.

The show only had a 18 month run, and the writer continued giving him development until around after early Johto when Shudo left the helm after losing much of his pull with the series.

So no, that was probably around when the writers realized that they were never replacing him.

Special mention of Just Waiting for a Friend, this and Chikorita episodes made me think pokémon falling in love with their trainer was a common thing.

A lot of the earlier filler was pretty good/memorable, the only reason I remember some filler of DP is because of how bad it was.

A few that come to mind. I owned the latter two on VCR, so that's why probably. I always love the more scary episodes with ghosts and stuff. Also that episode in Sinnoh with the ghost girl and Dusknoir was pretty awesome.

This. The phenomenon is present in every cartoon, comic and anime. But ever since someone posted about it on Facebook or memebase, everyone acts like it's something significant or needing explanation for Ash.
