Bonjour! The name’s JEMstone, but JEM works too. I mess with lots of anime, manga, games, etc. but my primary interest is the Pokémon Anime:
•Paul Enthusiast
•May Enthusiast
•DP/SM Enthusiast
I may also be a person of acquired taste so I welcome all who vibe with my energy🫶🏾
This isn’t Ash’s daughter
This isn’t Serena’s Daughter
This isn’t a next generation
This girl has no relation to Ash Ketchum
Until any info’s confirmed, she’s just a stranger for now

I really wanna go & explain Goh’s character in JN135 into a thread because I really think it’s heavily misunderstood on how he’s portrayed here

I think this very scene proves the best on why reserves had no business in this fight. Especially for the likes of the aces. A lot of people force plot points on Ash for the sake of the stakes. Like “it’s the most important match. He needs to use his best.” But we need—
I really wish I saw everyone’s initial reaction to this ending when it came out because it must’ve been legendary seeing so many anipoke characters in one place
#JEMbw
•Defeated a Champion-level Pokémon in his first battle
•First to defeat a member of the Elite Four
•Forced a Champion’s Ace to be recalled
•Humiliated the World Champion’s main sweeper
Ash’s Dracovish is pretty badass tbh

I don’t care what anyone says
BW has the best art style in out of all the series’. Even the reenactments are done the best
I could sit down and enjoy the Classic Anipoke Trilogy like this
#JEMbw
I think it’s near unanimous among the community that JN failed regarding Ash’s old Pokemon but I couldn’t disagree any more than I do now
This scene alone opened the door to so many possible dynamics, created/expanded cliques, and unified Old and New more than any past series
In terms of battling, BW Ash is definitely on the lower half compared to his other series counterparts…
But as a Pokémon Master, he’s easily one of the best
#JEMbw
I’m noticing a misunderstanding pattern just like with Journeys. & that is that this isn’t an adaptation of the game. Just like how JN wasn’t Pokémon Sword & Shield, this ain’t Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
I’m assuming based on what we got, but by the title, this isn’t the SV anime
Treating Ash RIGHT for his 26+ year adventure unlike JN/MPM:
•Give closure
•Make amourshipping canon
•Ash Vs Tobias Rematch
•Ash-Greninja return
•Greninja Vs Alain rematch
•Ash’s dad reveal
•Ash using reserves in final tournament
•Final battle having a team of his aces
-Utilized some of the best improvisation
-Finalized the doubt about who he was
-The most well-rounded incarnation
-Beat his greatest rival
-Was so strong that a Legendary-using trainer had to cancel his run
Before he became Champion, this was when Ash was at his prime
#anipoke
Maturing is realizing that the theory of Ash winning the Alola League because of the backlash of him losing the Kalos League is dumb as bricks
Thematically, the Alolan Championship is the only logical League he COULD’VE won
This is last time I’d even wanna talk about the current Ash situation, but I think many people just need to let go about Ash’s age
There’s dozens of ageless fictional characters/timeless stories and it’s not something Ash had started or ended. It shouldn’t be that big of a deal
Leon swept people in the lower half of the Master’s 8, while the writers fed Ash the TWO STRONGEST trainers that wasn’t Leon.
Y’all seriously think that Ash keeping up with Leon, let alone beating him is THAT hard to believe?🤨

First, we have to look at who Goh is. Someone who is pretty much distanced from everyone else. This was mostly unintentional as he pretty much COULDN’T make friends instead of choosing to do so. His lifestyle’s unsuitable to others, so he doesn’t have common sense in a friendship
Ok, so regarding all this recent discourse about MPM, I wanna share my take on Ash’s finale but also share my view on what these fillers meant to the show. At least from my pov🧵:
Next we have to look at how Ash and Goh’s relationship and how it’s reasonably a little bit more important to Goh
In Goh’s perspective… Ash broke him out of his shell, Ash helped him meet many new people, Ash helped him meet many new Pokemon
And what makes this upsetting for Goh is that his first real friend is seemingly leaving so casually without care. That’s why Goh questions if they were friends, because he actually had doubt in this decision due to his care for his friend. So when Ash does it on the spot—
