They had actually gotten pretty good towards the end of XYZ season
Yeah they did, why do you think they had to be even cheaper for Sun/moon?


bean counters.

The last couple episodes had better colors, animation and dare I say, even plot than some of the full featured pokemon movies, I mean, look at this, it hits me right in the childhood (ignore the music video bullshit):

How do you top that? How expensive must these latter episodes be? I guess they chose to go for cheaper, "more profitable" animation and plot and try to sell as many toys as possible and BOOM, we got sun and moon

About animation, I'd kinda agree if you were talking about the league arc (though it still would be below some pokemon movies), but for the TF arc only the final episode was anything worth talking about (and even then, it's not the best from that animator), the rest of the arc was mostly either stock footage or relied heavily on CGI and effects. Plot-wise, yeah, though it's not a high bar to cross for most pokemon movies. About colors I definitely agree though, XY had the best color pallete, SM feels a bit too washed out in what I'm guessing was an attempt to replicate the hand drawn style (also I guess that's why they toned down the CGI and effects there)

Plz stop it people, you have no idea how much the animation cost for either series, nor how much effort was required.

Different is not inferior, and SM is good for what it is, hell you'd be hard pressed to find another long running and weekly anime that can even compete. The colors are vibrant, characters have far wider facial expressions, and with the more cartoonish style allows for a wider range body posses and character emotions without looking awkward.

Oh but XY looks more mature so its automatically better by default and required more cost and effort to produce because....logic.

Ash will likely go on to be a character that pops up as a legit threat and a bad ass for the newer episodes.

Could you imagine the hype of an episode where our new hero meets up with the League Champion Ash Ketchum, and his team includes Greninja, Charizard, Sceptile, Goodra, Heracross, and Pikachu?

I'm glad ash finally won a a league, but this objectivily was the weakest one yet. So my feelings are bittersweet and will turn sour if this ends up being Ashs last league as the main protagonist.


he's being cut from the anime.

We don't know that yet, we'll know 2 weeks from now though (unless it gets leaked before)

There's 0 chance he won't cameo. Fuck even Brock and Misty had a run this season.

Yeah no:

Look at the incremental improvements to his face since the original season. They added more detail (for example, his eyes are brown and they have a reflection/light on the upper part, the inner part of his ear is dark so it represents depth, some of his hair is individual "spikes" and his clothes and some areas of his face, such as the side have shadows too), his chin is clearly defined, etc.

Meanwhile S&M is obviously easy to draw, he has no shadows (especially on his clothes) or color depth in many occasions, and it looks like his hat is growing hair. There was a picture in this topic where he had no nose! Edit - he may or may not have a nose in my screenshot too

They did that for the animation to be more fluid (though they barely used the style to its full potential in battles for some dumb reason, a lot of the slice of life scenes are much better animated than many battles)
