      I dont see where. The Battle Frontier in AG worked because there was no main rival. In DP it would have been overshadowed by the Ash and Paul rivalry if it came before the league or overshadow it if it came after. Not to mention, Paul's power based training style was because of Brandon, so there was direct competition with Kanto BF. The best thing they could have done is make Ash beat quite a lot of random CotDs to up his win ratio and give Torterra a win.

    @seanmassey6235 3 роки тому +55

    Biggest missed opportunities so far:
    1. There needs to be more mini-arcs in Journeys. The series is tailor made for this kind of storytelling because its not tied so closely to a game. There should have been more than one episode with Korrina or Iris, and more time spent in the various regions that Ash visited. That also opens up opportunities to return more old companions and mons. Hopefully we’ll get more of that in the next season.
    2. Not working “Don’t Stop Believing” into an episode title.

    • @koolerman4443
      @koolerman4443 3 роки тому +6

      Agreed, the whole reserch fellow situation is reason enough to have gou and ash go out to do expedition arcs for professor Sakuragi to balance the filler and story episodes. Also, the professor needs some development. Instead we only see him the first few minutes in an episode telling ash and gou what to do and never seen again. What is his research/goal? At this point in sun and moon professor kukui was really well developed around episode 70.

      That would've given us so much world building and lore to work with right there. At the very least provide us some stronger closure after friends and rivals finish their business with Ash, like what about Paul? How did his rematch with Brandon go? DId he run into Zoey and Candice in Snowpoint City and did they watch? Was Paul confronted by Maylene for a rematch when he returned home to Velistone City (we never even seen Paul in his own hometown with Reji at all)?
      We could seen May, Dawn, Serena, Iris starting their solo journeys without the gang like we did with Misty and even had some follow up episodes after that. (BW and SM casts are big enough to have a few stories of their own)
      During XY there are ORAS plot points not even vaguely addressed like Zinnia a Dragon Trainer in Hoenn that could've been the center of an ORAS plot for Iris to deal with, or Lissia a top class Coordinator for May to compete with on a grander stage.
      It also could've been interesting if Max actually started his own journey with Misty acting as his traveling mentor since it was almost alluded to with their episodes.
      You literally could put in the inbetween episodes where Brock goes home to the Gym, or when he meets Cilan, or Cilan meeting Clemont and Bonnie, Dawn's Cyndaquil evolving, etc within these episodes.

    Having the lab in Galar would just make so much sense and make it atleast feel like Galar isn't getting completely ignored.

    2) Elite four being absent in a lot of the regions. None of the Johto Elite four show up at all in the anime, and it would have been cool to see Koga again as he is a Johto elite four. There also are no elite four in Unova or Kalos , which was terribly missed as an opportunity.

    Missed opportunity in Sinnoh: Ash with Garchomp

    Ash vs Richie would ve been amazing cuz richie was a friendly rival. Zac anime keeps giving major hints of big events. It gave riolu hints from dp and lo what happened our boy has a lucario. Garchomp hints are also given left and right throughout the anime(from dp).

    One thing we missed in Pokémon journeys, which you mostly know is Zac, Ash lost a chance to battle with Ho-Oh in a filler episode 9 with a boy and his grandfather. Also, one thing we also lost was special episodes not dubbed into English too.

    I totally agree with the May returning in Gen 6!! It made so much sense to promote both ORAS AND to transition Serena to going to Hoenn to do contests!!

      They could’ve reused dialogue from diamond and pearl because May’s Japanese voice actor has a bad condition with her throat which is why may only makes non speaking cameos

    I keep wishing that the clone Pokémon would come back. Maybe some of them have been caught by now. Maybe some are leading herds/packs/flocks in the wild. Maybe they're being researched due to their implied supernatural aspects.

    I just realized , Ash could’ve left Pidgeot with Professor Oak when he went to the orange islands because that way, he wouldn’t have to release it, and it could still protect the Pidgey and Pidgeotto and whenever ash needed it, he could call it, sorta like goodra but it would live with oak or the pidgeys could have come to live and the lab

    Ash not fully evolving Oshawott was such a big missed opportunity. Also not bringing back a Hoenn Pokemon in XY was such a miss, we could’ve seen Corphish evolve or get Glalie some more wins. Ash should have also got Lucario in Sinnoh, but it’s placement in Journeys is just fine

    I want more then anything, a reboot of the Pokemon Anime where they actually make it based on the games, featuring the game protagonists as the actual main characters and telling the story we know from the games, in the same sense they did with Pokemon: Origins, Pokemon Generations, and Pokemon Twilight Wings.
    I don't know why they refuse to do this but it would be the greatest thing ever.

    Another Mist Opportunity in the Pokemon Anime is the Zinnia Story of the delta episode in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire especially since we see Mega Rayquaza in the Mega Evolution specials of X and Y and She could’ve given Ash’s Noivern more development before the Kalos League.

    Edit: Honestly we were robbed of a Gym Battle between Ash and Drayden.

      I would really like to see Team Rocket trail Ash to Unova again in Journeys, where they would remember their heists like the subway one, and be like "Wow, we were really serious with that one! Maybe too serious...!"

    • @bookmew1081
      @bookmew1081 Рік тому +1

      Agreed realistically Ash should have gotten all 10 of Unova's Badges. The Unova Anime should have gone to Opelucid City for at least 3 Episodes before going to Virbank City. Best Wishes was poorly written from the beginning, & Iris suffers from it.

  • @JC-lb3df

    It sucks that ash isn’t traveling in Galar, that region’s whole thing is battling and with the animation in Pokémon battles looking amazing in recent years why not embrace it even more, we could have a Cocky arrogant rival in Bede, A new trainer entering the ring in Hop who sees Ash as a hurdle he must jump over to get to Leon, and Marnie a nice Tsundere rival who idk why I feel like would find a way to have a crush on ash, Leon and Sonia stay the same, the traveling companions can be Gloria(the female protagonist) and honestly for a 3rd wheel to this tricycle either a new made up character or… idk Goh but Galar edition?
    Ash’s team could’ve have new Pokémon like Rillaboom, Sirfetch’d and Dracovish
    Then have an Isle of Armor arc to take place between Ash’s 8 gym win and the league because the league then after the league we can get a Crown Tundra Arc and the Post game Galar dog arc
    The league can have ash battle his rivals obviously and in the end Ash beats hop and loses to Leon
    Post game Galar Doggo arc happens which honestly is the lamest of the 4/5 arcs of the series(Galar league, darkest day, Galar doggo arc, crown tundra, isle of armor)
    We can see Klara, Avery, Mustard, Peony and his daughter appear in those arcs and for each of them Ash battles Mustard and Peony
    For the Mustard battle Ash loses but it’s a close fight or because Mustard was a Galar champ who trained the new one it can be not even close to show the gap between Ash and Leon, but after the league Ash v Peony, it’s a tough fight but Ash pulls out on top
    I’d like to show the rivals progression too, we can see Hop slowly become more of a future Professor, we see Bede and Marnie in individual episodes to flesh them out, see backstories, set up there future as gym leaders

    The Original Battle Tower in Olivine City. Remember that in HG/SS they upgraded it into the Johto Battle Frontier. Also I was pretty upset that they never went to the Northeastern Part of Sinnoh.

    @trmasterzero8943 2 роки тому +2

    You should review Pokemon Adventures! It has different main characters for each region instead of just one character who gets boring very quickly and it even has a proper battle with Giovanni (maybe two or three though) who becomes a sort of goodish guy even though he's still in charge of his organisation.
