/vp/ - Pokémon » Thread #33825784

Such specific technicalities to defend one of the dullest series in the history of Pokemon series. Each episode following the boy trainer and his pals from Pokemon School as they fight Team Rocket and the Team Skull bullies has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the saccharine imagery, the series only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of animation, all to make Pokemon unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when TPC approved the idea of Tomiyasu directing the series; they made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody? Just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for their games. The Sun & Moon series might be anti-Shonen (or not), but its certainly the anti-One Piece series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the waifus are good though
"No!"
Their characterization is dreadful; their screentime is terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time a girl had the focus, the animator drew instead that character with a "suggestive pose".

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Matsui's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Sun & Moon by the same /a/. They wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching Sun & Moon at 9 or 10, then when they get older they will go on to watch Keit-ai." And they were quite right. They were not being ironic. When you watch "Sun & Moon" you are, in fact, trained to watch Keit-ai.

Whoever came up with that tier list is stupid.

XY, XYZ, and the Mega Evolution specials have no business being in the same tier as DP.

Kanto is ranked far too high (it should be shit-tier with Best Wishes Da and Johto).

Chronicles is ranked too high as it is just a bunch of side story episodes.

Generations is ranked too high as it is just a bunch of 3-4 minute clips.

This is how I would rearrange the tier list:

God tier:
DP

High tier:
AG
Mega Evolution I & IV
Generations
Origins

Middle tier:
Mega Evolution II & III
XY (including XYZ)
Best Wishes (excluding Da)

Low-tier:
Chronicles
SM

Shit-tier
Kanto
Best Wishes Da
Johto

Kanto and Johto were mostly filler episodes with very little character development. Don't let the nostalgia blind you to this.

Sinnoh had flaws but in terms of plot, character development, and thought out episodes it is among the best. Even the filler episodes were rather enjoyable.

Except the animation is pretty bad too. Oh, sure, there's some scenes they put more resources into, but even DBS has its high-quality moments. The average is still very poor animation.

And remember when DBS had quality moments for the longest? Who's to say SM won't get a few tweaks?

This a very poor analysis full of subjectivities disguised as objectivities.
Is this pasta ?

Also Tomiyasu is a pretty good director.
