>Squirtle Squad at Oak's lab
>give them a one second cameo instead of having Squirtle interact with Ash and his new Pokemon like Bulbasaur did
But why?
Because Ash has a couple dozen Pokemon, the episode is 22 minutes long, and they have other things to do.

Like having a couple of Alolamons getting lost and then TR trying to steal Pikachu with a mecha for the trillionth time? No, fuck them.
>>33555761
They could have added one or two more episodes to that, or made both episodes special hour long episodes instead of having bad pacing in an attempt to cram as much nostalgia into one episode as possible

>and they have other things to do.
...like nothing?
>>33555761
The episode was complete devoid of anything.

Why aren't there cool ideas like squirtle squad anymore?
>>33555719
They should of at least had Heracross harass Bulbasaur.

that's disgusting no
>>33555719
So in between their firefighting duties Squirtle Squad just hang out at the lab with the rest of Ash's mons? That's neat. Squirtle can still see his bro Bulbasaur.

He means the whole "heracross sucking bulbasaurĀ“s nectar from his plant bulb". It was a running gag during the johto era.

Because why even try when games sell 2without putting any remote effort
>>33555719
Because Bulbasaur was always the best.

They had so many missed opportunities, instead of having the cast interact with Ash's pokemon they had them interact with random Pokemon instead, why did Mallow have to interact with Gloom/Vileplume instead of his grass types? - Cause comedic relief.
Why couldn't Kiawe awe over all of Ash's Fire-types instead of racing a random Rapidash?
Why only Totodile and Corphish with a bunch of other random water types, why not add in all of Ash's other water types in the scene?
Why not show Oshawott being rejected by Vupix/Steenee?
Have Rowlet hanging in the trees with his other Flying types?
The writers missed so many good opportunities to show his past pokemon, but of course, we had t have more Gen 1 pandering and it was just a another messy episode where nothing happens for 20mins.
