>>36863174nope, they have a checklist to fulfill
-pointless battle while remix plays (waste of animation, does not contribute anything to the plot)
-le team rocket face (got old by episode 4)
-talking legendary
-villain with airship who wants the legendary
-ancient village/castle place which ash frompallettown and friends happen to visit, and which happens to host a festival of some sort
-NPC's giving hours of exposition on the plot, because it's too hard to tell the story via showing so let's instead waste the budget on
-cute pokemon being cute
-ash dies and is revived a minute later
-legendary gets free, ash the cuck doesn't catch it
-le credits montage face (more wasted animation that doesn't contribute to the movie; audience is walking out by now at the latest)
Watching these was like some fucked up groundhog day experience, ashnime accelerated. Everything is the same shit over and over again, and apparently the flaws aren't seen as flaws by the producers but as some intrinsic qualities of the ashnime without which it would crash and burn. Oh and don't forget some stupid fucking shit like arceus supposedly being the sun and the people being the earth in the arceus movie. What pretentious horseshit. Why not make a coherent, original plot instead of trying to inject some retarded "moral" or "theme"
