Eh, technically, Lillie was a Faller the moment Nebby had used his Ultra Wormhole to escape in the opening scene in the game. Honestly, it feels like anime-Lillie backstory is just factoring in the post-game lore without having to bring in Anabel and break the anime-lore in half with her appearance.

Battle Frontier had a lot of shipping in it for some reason. You had Contestshipping in May's arc, Lucy crushing over Brock, and Anabel crushing over Ash. Then a few Ash/May moments towards the end.

They've never going to have Ash return to an old region again. Both HGSS and ORAS came out and neither Johto nor Hoenn were revisited. Sinnoh won't either if DP is remade in then next few years.

They are just classmates, why are you thinking of them as companions?

>>31008385
it's pretty much a guarantee. it was very telling how they introduced them basically all at once with little fanfare and how they all basically crowd around ash when relatively important things happen while contributing nothing as individuals.

even real comedy shows have better character development

there's one problem right there, if they are just random classmates doing their own shit and dragging ash along to do random irrelevant shit, why should we care about them

>>31008443
hell i used to watch shows like hey arnold and doug growing up, those show ' characters were a lot more interesting than these ones in SM so far except for maybe kiawe

>>31008385
The only ones I can see being underdeveloped are Mallow and Sophocles, Kiawe is a rival character so he might not tag along when Ash travels to other islands, Lillie will have her relevance and slow development of her fear, Lana has a starter so she might get some goal.

>>31008518
lana has a goal. she wants to make a really big bubble and go in it. they could have given her a real goal and try to build her character but this is the kind of writing sm has to offer.

>>31008497
Yeah I gave SM the benefit of the doubt. I even defended it when the first info came out.

But it's shit as a sol. I expect an overhaul mid season again.

>>31008497
Irrelevant shit about what? The tone of the series is different and is going to school. Expecting him to battle all the time or get development is plain stupid, he also taking his first test next episode and by the looks of it the actual trial might be a battle with Hala.

>>31008545

But the bubble is snot and germs

>>31008569
Every other anime is about going to school and it still manages to be more interesting. Face it.

>>31008549
it doesn't need a full overhaul, just needs better focus and direction

like i don't even know what ash is doing at the school, he just decided to sign up for whatever reason before he has an end goal in mind

then all of the sudden he decides he's doing Z ring stuff, but then he spends 5 of the next 6 eps getting distracted by random shit his classmates are doing

>>31008545
That's more of a hobby than a real goal, if that were the real thing she doesn't need attend school, thet also have their captains symbols so they could be in training to be captains. The fact you are already claiming is shit without event thinking of future evenys tell me you are either a shitposter or want the series to fail.

>>31008518
>Ash travels to other islands
What did you mean by this?

>>31008581
No, you are just trying to label it as shit because you don't like the tone of the series or never watched a SoL before, who the fuck expects relevancy and development in the first episodes of SoL series?

>>31008612
i'm talking about things that actually happened in the show, you have no real basis for anything you're talking about. move along.

>>31008606
>then all of the sudden he decides he's doing Z ring stuff, but then he spends 5 of the next 6 eps getting distracted by random shit his classmates are doing
>implying in other season he challenged Gyms immediately
How much filler we got before AG first Gym again?
DP also took that long, all start went to Dawn.

>>31008613
He will have to travel to other islands to take the trials, retard.

>>31008634
I watched SoL since I was a kid, I watched fucking doug and all those disney shows. All of which were better than this.

>>31008581
Every other anime doesn't have a minimum of 100 episodes to plan for. Hell, if you want to compare, compare it to other longrunners like Doremon or Detective Conan.

>>31008612
not him but she literally says the bubble thing is her dream, just as serena said her dream was to become kalos queen

if she finds another more "legit" dream later then great

>>31008642
Yes, I have. The new seasons are supposed to be a marketing tool for the games, anyone knows this. The fact the characters have their captains symbols is not just mere coincidence but of course you are just shitposter and are unable to see it.

>>31008668
>"legit" dream
It's not like Lana is main heroine.
She is female Brock, like all characters now, except Kiawe, and MAYBE Lillie.
For that type of character her dream is perfectly fine.

>>31008668
She's 10 and is not a game-rival/protagonist turn anime character. Seriously, 10 year old wouldn't be dreaming of becoming high class lawyers, they're dreaming of stupid inane stuff like punching dragons. Quite frankly, her silly children dream of blowing big bubbles to explore the sea fits more of her age than Serena.

>>31008651
yeah but at least we knew that what the other characters in the show were doing was relevant and we knew what was coming. right now it feels so random and unguided. maybe after the island trial test ep it will get more focused, at least that's what i hope for

>>31008692
not him but quit acting like we're all shitposters just bc we don't like how it's started

if we're wrong the future episodes will bear that out and we can eat crow then. for now the way it's started hasn't thrilled us

>>31008654
There is a reason why Ride Pokemon is a thing in SM. There won't be any traditional "travelling with companions".

>>31008661
If that were true you wouldn't be expecting development or relevance the first few episodes in a series with 100+ episodes where the intial tone is of a SoL.

When's the last time Ash caught a pokemon the way he's gonna catch Litten? Not on the first time they meet i mean.

>>31008732
I never expected development, we never get it anyway. I just expected more interesting show. Without exception almost every SoL I ever saw was better.

>>31008720
Not liking the show is fine, but people claiming these few episodes are "everything SM has to offer" are blatant shitposters.

>>31008745
BW Croc. He caught him like 60 eps later when Croc even evolved once.

>>31008732
Don't worry, the Slice Of Life tone will be gone when episode 90-95 comes around.

>>31008756
>I just expected more interesting show
Because is just a SoL so far, there is not much of interest to see but you don't know because you haven't watched SoLs before.

>Amourfags still damage controlling over the last episode

>>31008724
Ash never used his birds to travel from city to city, it would kill the very aspect of adventure Ash is looking for.

>>31008803
I literally said I've watched them in the same fucking post but I guess you're not interested in actual discussion. The show sucks so far, this is not a lone wolf opinion. Fuck off retard.

>>31008717
>Quite frankly, her silly children dream of blowing big bubbles to explore the sea fits more of her age than Serena.

niggah have you even played the games

in the games you are a kid traveling a region doing pokemon battles and taking on villains

that's why in the anime most if not all of each season's main cast characters have big dreams in mind

also brock's dream was a real job, pokemon breeder, then he decided to switch later in DP due to some shitty writing

>>31008760
i am not saying that it's all SM has to offer, i still hope t gets better and i think it will improve at least a bit

i just don't think the series is focused right now and it feels bland even compared to other SoL

>>31008760
So much this. Seriously, like this anon said, if you don't like it, then you don't like it, but trying to act like the first few episodes is a representative of a minimum of 100+ episodes is just stupid. It's like people conveniently forgotten how at least 3/4 of the other seasons are pure filler as well.

>>31008789
Ash is taking his first test in episode 9 though.

The problem is that the characters aren't that interesting. I don't have a problem with a big cast but the characters must be interesting.

Honestly, Acelora,Mina and Ilima would have been better picks. Mallow and Sophocles are such a bore.

>>31008821
Ash never had gone to school, it would kill the very aspect of adventure Ash is looking for.

>>31008848
Nigga, who in the game is 10 years old? And Brock is a goddamn gym leader and not 10. He has responsibilities of an adult. How the fuck are you comparing him to a 10 year old girl going to school?

>>31008874
You didn't watch episode 1? So you were a shitposter all along.

>>31008848
>i just don't think the series is focused right now
This is actually plus for me.
For example, I like how they changed game Lillie instead of game copypasta with Nebby, it makes story more interesting.

>>31008873
To each their own. I liked Sophocles's episode, and Mallow had been an alright older sister character. I don't expect any heavy character development from her until her own episode.

>>31008853
I'm sure there will always be Slice-Of-Life episodes in-between those though.

>>31008844
No because you clearly don't know SoLs are supposed to be relax the viewer while you are expecting some that interests you. Fuck off, retard.

>>31008717
>. Quite frankly, her silly children dream of blowing big bubbles to explore the sea fits more of her age than Serena.

This is Pokemon. Kids doesn't act like real kids no matter what. By your logic we shouldn't care about Ash's goal.

>>31008884
oops the brock stuff was meant for someone else, they were comparing a character in SM to brock even though their comparison didn't work because brock had a serious dream while lana's wasn't much of a dream at all

>>31008896
I watched it.
They already killed aspect of adventure.

>>31005744
>>31005943
This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Oh wait, this is vp

>>31008873
Only the Sophocles episode was boring to me, Lillie's episode was average but the Lusamine and Gladio reference made it better.

>>31008942
It's relaxing alright, enough to put you to sleep.

>>31008942
>SoL are supposed to be boring

Shut the fuck up and stop embarrasing yourself.

>>31008948
Aside from the gym leaders and former game protagonists, most of them acted closely to their age. Season 1 Ash was acting like a 10 year most of the time.

To be honest only SM ep that is really filler is Sophocles one. Lana's one is quite closr too.

But every other is part of the plot.

>>31008884
niggah you leave to start your goal as a little kid in most of the games. whether it's 10 or 12 or 8, the point still stands

red was 11 in the gen 1 games for instance

>>31009013
Sophocles episode is setting up the Pikabowl subplot

>>31008994
Kids don't travel on their own or are independent at the age of ten

>>31009013
Sophocles isn't filler any more than Lana. It's a character introduction ep. It just feels like filler due to how fucking boring it is.

>>31008990
It's relaxing.

>>31008981
Only if you are a shitposter.

fuck off scott

>>31009014
I was unaware kids around 10 were deciding they were going to be corporate lawyers instead of, you know, superheros and such? It's called being a kid, unless you had some sort of monster parent or living in some serious shit, kids had the most silliest of dreams.

>>31009013
Lana was far from being filler.

>>31009013
How was Lana's episode filler?

>>31009013
lana and lillie's eps felt like fillers though. aside from a couple rushed minutes of character dev, not much really happens

the lillie ep felt like that parfum palace ep in XY for example, half of lana's was just ash following her around and us watching everyone struggle to fish up something

>>31009072
Fuck off antiscott shitposter faggot.

>>31009013
It didn't feel like filler to me until TR showed up.

>>31009092
who would have thought we'd reach a point where scott could be summoned on command

>>31009078
aside from lana's flashback it's just "let's go fishing bc why not, oh crap ash doesnt have a fishing pole so let's spend 10 minutes going to lana's house to get one, oops we aren't catching any fish bc we suck, oh no there's TR again, activate triggered lana and send off TR in the kiiiiiiii bear's arms"

Lillie is a cutie blonde bombshell.

>>31009051
Lana's one gave us small backstory of Popplio and her dream. Sophocles one...well, only that Toge is a girl...
>>31009077
>>31009078
It's close to filler, if not for flashback and baloon talk. It's like XY's Quadilin ep, where small info were there, but everything else is pretty much filler.
>>31009081
Lillie's one has EGG debut and some character development for Lillie + some info about her fear and her family. That's quite a lot for just filler.

>>31009116
TR shows up even when it's not filler though.

>>31009136
>everyone who doesn't want my worthless unproductive spam is scott

>>31009170
To be fair, Sophocles was relevant only for half an episode while Lana had the whole episode to herself.

>>31009191
the irony of course is that you get so triggered by this that you're creating actual worthless unproductive spam

stay triggered and fuck off scott

>>31009013
What plot?

And no, Lillie's autistic family on a picture does not mean plot.

>>31009162
The first half was about Lana and Ash bonding as classmates, she talked about his "dream" and explained how she and Popplio met and part of her family was introduced the same episode. This is far from being filler, I do agree the other half felt like filler.

>>31009224
That's the point retard. "Fuck off scott" is worthless unproductive spam but since you have zero self awareness, it's time you get a taste of your own medicine. Maybe that will make you understand your garbage is worse than scott ever was.

>xd look it must be scott
Fuck off antiscott shitposter faggot. I hope you get assraped by scott.

>>31009229
1-3 - introduction to Alola

So you admit you think the thread getting shitted up is amusing. Thanks for the admission that you are a shitposter but I knew it already.

Fuck off antiscott shitposter faggot.

also
>you're

>>31009075
Yes? When I was a kid we had to show what we wanted to be as adults and everyone had realistic carrers like medics,vets,teacher,etc. The most unrealistic one where singer, f1 pilot and stuff like that which you know,it's not unrealistic still. We are talking about ten years old, not four years old. After all,you are learning geography and biology at around that age.

>>31009239
the "bonding" part occurs right around the flashback, so i kinda count it as part of that scene

even then ash just kinda sits there and nods as she talks, and then it turns into comic relief with the balloon popping, and lana's sisters teasing her about ash and then pikachu zapping everyone to a crisp

it may have been "bonding" in some sense but it was mostly a one way street with lana doing most of the talking

>>31009321
niggah it means plot in the future but he's talking about the episode itself

that moment was cool and gets us hype for the future but it doesn't mean the episode was suddenly an important plot episode since it was mainly lillie sperging out over her egg and getting a little bit of character dev by protecting the egg

again, these kinds of eps were standard filler eps in XY, where you dev a character a bit more but nothing else super important really happens

the froakie and hawlucha training episode and the pancham-chespin squabbling one come to mind

>>31009372
Can xy059 be considered filler one then?

>>31009414
not really since the ribbon is a key point of the episode and it becomes part of her new outfit the very next ep

if there was no ribbon and they just kinda go out with serena sperging out about ash and they all just give gifts to their pokemon at the end, then absolutely it would be pure filler

Third deito when?

>>31009459
in a few months when they have had time to course correct the show

>>31009414
Sort of, but even if it is filler it was a really cute episode and the ribbon is kinda sorta important. I liked the deito episode more than the Lillie one desu even though the ending was just standard TR shit.
