Quoted By:
Can I just say how agonizing it is to watch Go interact with all of the Pokémon he's caught. Why the fuck is he allowed to have small scenes with a bunch of rando mons, but Ash has to leave all of his mons to rot at Oak's? Its like the anime is actively taunting me by giving what I want for Ash to a different character. I just don't get it; adding Oakmons in that manner would be no different from giving Go all of these rando mons but would actually throw a bone to long time fans

Why does the anime never feature the caves from the games besides Mt. Moon? Just in the first two gens they skipped Diglett Cave, Rock Tunnel, Seafom Islands as a cave, Cerulean Cave, all the Victory Roads from every gen. In Johto they only featured Ice Cave. They skipped Union Cave, Dark Cave, Mt. Mortar, Tojo Falls, Mt. Silver, etc. I think one of the XY caves was featured? But almost all of them get skipped in the anime.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>42262534 They showed Mt. Mortar, albeit incredibly briefly in the introduction to the Tyrogue episode, where the character of the day was based on the Karate Master who lives in there in the games.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
The caves in the games are basically dungeons, the anime can't really do much with them even if we do see caves from time to time in the show. In the games it's to get attacked by wild pokemon every 2 steps, battle random Hikers, and use Strength on rocks to solve puzzles. the anime has no story usage for that since HM's don't exist in the show.

Some level of realism is necessary in children anime for target audience to relate. That's why anime like Doreamon and Youkai Watch got popular even though the kids on that show are harsh. Keita's (Youkai Watch) two best friend does not hesitate to make fun of him while Nobita (Doreamon) is outright bullied by Gian and Suneo yet those show got massively popular among kids.
As long as Koharu in the cast, Ash would interact with her.

They don't have to stay in their regions (we've seen Cynthia, Lance and Steven outside of their regions already), they just have to compete in the champion's league and win to keep their title. We don't know how often the league is held, but they only need to be in their region for that tournament and then they just fuck around the rest of the year

Ash is a former champion, not a current champion. He can't be the champion of alola if he isn't staying there. Obviously he had to give up the title when he left or no one would ever be able to challenge for it. Im guessing the world championship is gonna be open to anyone though.
