>>36534098One of the big things about DP is that it feels very continuous. For example, Ash might lose to a gym leader, spend the next few fillers trying to come up with a counter strategy, suddenly come up with an idea by watching Dawn, then spend the next several fillers trying to perfect the technique. Even though the episodes tend to quickly turn into filler shenanigans, it always feels like progress is steadily being made.
Except for the infamous year of filler. Just forget about that and the season is amazing.
