You can thank 90s anime for that. 90s was the last decade anime aimed at kids actually took risks and experimented. You have Sailormoon getting drunk and not 5 years later its actually illegal to have anime minors go near booze or cigs. 2000s anime is sterlized, processed, uninspired, cookie-cutter garbage.

The literal definition of nostalgia is that people forget bad things and only remember good ones. That's how humans in general work; they focus on the good instead of the bad. There's always been a fuckton of bad anime out there and it being bad is why no one remembers it.

Bad media is never remembered, it always gets forgotten. Only good media is remembered.

Except you are missing my point entirely. There is plenty of "good" anime its just not aimed at kids. It isn't a trend, the Japanese agencies will come down hard on your ass for the most trivial little things these days. Modern Japanese parents are a bunch of whiny Karens. Whiscash can't have an episode because muh earquakes. No more guns. Anytime alcohol is mentioned some kid has to talk about how they minors can't drink. Anytime you want a joke with a minor being intoxicated it has to be from "juice" or the "smell" of alcohol or something equally retarded. This is just how anime aimed lower older teens is nowadays and its not subjective or nostalgia.

Back to the point about Pokemon, really weird concepts and unsettling elements also get hatemail from parents so the entire industry plays it safe and sells toddler pap that are basically one long toy commercial.

They mentioned Pokemon learning set moves at set levels. That's been proven to be bullshit. Pretty much everything stated in that episode is been proven to be false, which was the whole point of it; the students viewed battles the same way that people who play the games do.

That has nothing to do with it. Pokemon was a new franchise back then, so the rules weren't as established or strict yet. It's an established franchise now, and TPC imposes very strict rules and guideliens on every third party who makes Pokemon media. That includes OLM, the studio that makes the anime.

>When and how was it proven to be bullshit?

Pokemon very frequently learn moves out of order and learn moves that aren't in their level-up movelists (I.E. TM, Tutor, and Egg Moves) all the time. See: Pikachu learning Electroweb, Rowlet learning Brave Bird before Feather Dance, Froakie learning Cut, Torracat learning Revenge).

>>43632858
But they never mention exact numbers past the first season. "High-level" now just means that a Pokemon is really strong, it's not referring to some magic number. Pokemon don't get stronger by "leveling up", they "level up" by getting stronger.

Yeah, because he's an official Gym Leader. He's just temporarily using a volcano as a gym since his gym was destroyed. A Gym Battle can take place anywhere, it doesn't have to take place in the gym.

It's even been established that Gym Leaders don't even have to battle challengers if they don't want to and can just give badges away for free.

the pokemon league should step in at that point if they give badges away for free or give them to trainers who did something for them instead of only based on beating them in combat. of course its not like a regular trainer had a phone or email or was even able to contact the league about it so the gym leaders could get away with it for a long ass time

There are only two mentions of numerical levels in the entire anime. The first one proved that they don't exist, and the second one was a Johto filler episode. Numerical levels were retconned out of existence a long time ago.

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Level#In_the_anime

The only two mentions of numerical levels are from the the original series, which had a lot of weird shit because the rules of the universe weren't established yet.

Levels are literally just a way to try and determine how strong a pokemon is when they're actually just learning how to better themselves and may use more than just four attacks
