>>33448315>Do you have any idea how many episodes were Ash and co. deal with some rando and their rando Pokemon of the day, get some item or some shit, then TR appears and Pikachu uses thunderbolt to send them flying, cut to credits?Name all of those times that's happened in SM
...
Name all of the times those sequences weren't heavily action-oriented
Oh shit you can't because they always were
And your beginning statement about how the anime is supposed to be a promo for the games, when Sun and Moon never had any of this wacky bullshit that made things feel stale or boring. Hell the player always has the same expression while SM is all about "muh meme faces"
The games aren't about school, comedy, and being stationary, they are about battling, trading, bonding, and traveling the Pokémon world. Faggot
