>>26520312Filler wasn't really a problem until after Koga, but after that it became pretty heavy. I would argue that TR still pulling the same shit to this day is far worse, even if slightly less frequently.
>Ash doesn't win most of his badges in Kanto, they're given to him I don't see why that has to be bad. It's never specified that the trainer has to win the battle in the anime, just be deemed worthy. It wasn't like he fought like shit eihter. He did win against Brock, Surge, Koga, Blaine and TR. He made Sabrina incapable of battling and had the upper hand against Misty. Erika's battle was more even.
>Johto being 95% filler and as bad as UnovaFirst part completely true. But it is above Unova because it actually managed to end on a good note, with possibly the best league the anime has ever seen.
