It's over. It was supposed stop generation six. Overall the animation sucked at the start, and the voice acting was really bad for most episodes.

Anon...

So was this considered a success (viewership wise)?

I hope this means we get an actual game-based anime.

>>31118973

So, exactly like the one we have now?

>Anime A: Ash and friends travel, capture Pokemon, and fight bad guys.

>Anime B: Protagonist and friends travel, capture Pokemon, and fight bad guys.

There is zero point in having two identical shows. Splitting your audience like that is bad for branding.

>>31119036
you know damn well what i mean by game-based, and the ashnime is not it

>>31119066

It pretty much is.

Everything in the anime is based on something from the games, save for Ash himself (who even then is just Red with a different name).

>>31119105
>based on the games
I totally remember defeating Brock's Onix with my Pikachu, or Blaine having a Rhydon!

>>31119165

Based on =/= 100% identical

>>31119181
This guy gets it. If they had a side show that focused on in game content and dialogue only then they would force themselves to invest in the game characters and npc sidequests more which is an inherently good thing across the board. If they thought to themselves "we have to make 100 interesting episodes out of in game material" the overall gameplay quality would triple in a single generation.

Yeah, I loved the part in the games where you visit Lillie's mansion with her egg & butler :D

Because Ash is lame idiot who never won anything without external help, and only "made friend" with legendaries who then fuck off after thw movie/episode end? While Brendan wear spacesuit, use FUG to battle Deoxy and non-chalantly catch it? And Hilbert show up with Zekrom to save N from Ghetsis?
I for one am grateful of origin to show how badass the game storyline and its protagonist can be and shove of Ash's disgusting pathetic face away from my beloved franchise.

And don't forget the times where we got cucked in each and every league

>>31120076

We never competed in any league tournaments in the game, we just fought the Elite Four + Champion and that was it.

Yeah they should have had Ash and Lillie live in the loft and sleep on the couch together

>>31120207
Wait
Why is he even living with Kukui where's his mom at?

>>31119036
What we need is for them to make an anime series about the spinoffs, like Pokemon gales of darkness, or pokemon ranger or even actually make a whole series about mystery dungeon instead of 2 episodes.

>Mr. Mime won them a vacation to Alola
>They go, and deliver an egg from Oak to Samson Oak
>Ash meets Lillie and the others
>Tapu Koko gives Ash a Z-Ring
>Ash's mom and Mr. Mime go back to Kanto, but Ash decides to stay and go to school with his new friends

That's why he's living with Kukui.

I still think finshing it on episode 18, on its 20th anniversary is kinda fishy.

I do hope two more episodes about Sun and Moon. Maybe they'll serve as a bridge between SM and Stars.
