>>22544683 I'm going to need a little more info than that to decide whether BW killed it or not.
Not only is a first episode being judged against an average episode, but it also doesn't tell us what viewership was like before the first BW episode. What was the first episode of DP and AG like? What was the first episode of XY like?
What if the drop in viewership is the same proportionally in each region?

So any news or speculation on this Treecko kid? You think he's going to be some kind of fanboy of Ash? Like the opening has him literally following Ash's footprints and jotting down notes. Even the Treecko, besides helping to advertise ORAS, may be a choice he made because Ash had Treecko as his Hoenn starter.

They're actually making good use of the region this time, instead of how BW failed to emphasize Unova's American inspirations.

I wonder how this general would react if somewhere along the line probably after Ash's 7th or 8th badge, a random dude catches Serena's attention and they both fall in love, BTFOing Amour forever. Not hating on Amour btw, I'm just curious.

>>22546424 I'm just asking. You or whoever I replied to said we would see Frogadier vs Gogoat. But how do we know that Frogadier will be Ash's last Pokemon available and that it won't possibly faint, or that Gogoat is Ramos' last Pokemon and that he won't have some other Pokemon he's planning on using as his trump card that's different from his game team.

>>22546457 Because if you read the summaries you would know Ramos' other Pokemon were defeated, as well as Ash's, and Frogadier and Ash are at Ramos' mercy.
Why would he have another ace when Gogoat has been shown to be his main in the previews and the opening?
