BlueCrystalTear 12/16/22 9:19:46 AM #19:	This was incredibly obvious given how the last series was structured, even more so with how it ended and the cameos. I even said in the last Pokmon Anime topic that there was no place for them to go with Ash from there, so my thought was that after voicing him for over half her life that Rica Matsumoto (Ash's Japanese VA) was ready to retire. Because of how long it's been, they had to send Ash off with a bang. I don't really care for anything new they're doing at this point. The story of Ash going from inept and inconsistent to ~~the very best that no one ever was~~ amounted to the only thing keeping me interested in even following it. --- Come check out my movie watchthrough topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80167031 <cite>BlueCrystalTear posted [p:970201642] in The Pokemo...

I heard Cynthia actually beat him despite him having an entire roster of hacked ubers but that was just the writers wanting to bury him and forget about it.

That one battle was everything league battles should be, but because of the episode count it meant everything else was rushed. Tobias was created to do just that. To be honest, all leagues "leave a lot to be desired". They usually aren't long enough and typically only provide one really good battle. Hoenn, Unova and Kanto didn't even do that. The M8 provided two. But either way, the strength of the showpiece fight goes a long way to deciding if a league is "good". The Tobias fight was his best league loss. It's actually a pretty entertaining episode and it's weirdly the best Ash looked in defeat in any of the first 5 leagues, despite the scoreline. The Conway fight was also good stuff, one of my favourite underrated battles.

Most of it is because of merchandise. And from my visits to Pokemon Centers in Japan a few years ago, I assume something like 1/3 of the merchandise are Pikachu-related. There are so many of them! Like, look at all those- https://i.imgur.com/tKllZCj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YQj8PyD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wyVqn3Q.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sY0h7Lo.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AouY90r.jpg So many! Now with Pikachu gone from the anime...will it kill Pikachu popularity? probably not, but I believe it will hit it somewhat. So maybe they plan something, like bringing it back...or a totally different Pikachu (maybe even a female one with a different personallity) The thing is, the Pokemon Company has some amazing marketing geniuses working for them so I am not worried, but I can't help but wonder what they are going to do with it --- wololo <cite>Nanis23 posted [p:970225226] in The Pokemo...
