...Not that the Japanese version is perfectly free of annoying voices either, mind you.

Well, we missed out on cross dressing Ash in XY series, the one series along with DP Ash is the most bad ass in ironically.
I saw a trailer for the arc, for once it looks like it might just be an Ash and Team Rocket arc no other annoying school friends around? OMG Maybe I'll watch this one.

Technically, they've been badass since they beat Ash early in the season and Mimikyu went to town on a Totem Raticate.
Anyway, just saw the episode of Sun and Moon: Spoiler:
Overall, I liked the episode more than I have the ones with Ash... which is worrying in a certain sense.

Somehow I always imagined Acerola sounding like Nonon, but the big sis angle works too. Cute episode, and its nice to see Team Rocket be cool.

Why? To my understanding, TR trio are established antagonistic, villains with a clear and nefarious purpose to steal other people's pokemon and, particularly, obsessed to steal Pikachu from Ash at any cost; being doing that futile, personal enterprise for around 1000 episodes and the result Always ending in failure. Because, they are the villains, then the protagonist character, Ash, has to Always defeat them whenever doing misdeeds or crossing paths with the protagonist, again for the reason that they want to do mischief. I can imagine if in the unfathomable and hypothetical scenario TR trio were to beat Ash in an overwhelming and crushing manner, then there will be outcry from the target, demographic viewers being little children. I believe is like one trying to sort out frustration at understanding why in Sentai shows like Kamen Rider or Ultraman the MC has to always win every major battle at the climax of each story arc against a particular villain monster or antagonistic warrior, that to the surprise of the MC, displays a higher level at fighting, power levels, putting to good use strategy and skills, and is able to actually deliver a hell to the MC, nonetheless, the protagonist manages to always turn the tide of the battle at the end. Of course, you're welcome to let's agree to disagree with me and present more plausible, valid, and/or practical explanations as to why, even if in the rare instances that they put up a truly good fight, still TR trio always gets owned by Ash. |

And the 10,000,000 Thunderbolt coming out of nowhere whenever Ash is getting his ass handed to him in a fight he can't win normally (Lusamine) really does feel cheap too. It's like how Rowlet got Razor Leaf by sitting on a tree. On the other hand, the Pokemon Special manga has been excellent so far. Guzma gets kidnapped by Nihilego, Sun getting the crap kicked out of him by an Ultra Beast (as in literally spiked through a windshield only to recover minutes later), and the Ultra Beasts do more damage in one panel than they do in all of Sun and Moon the game and anime combined. The manga is where its at.

So I just watched the episode where Nebby evolves into Solgaleo and I have to say that the way Satoshi/Ash receives the z-power ring is a load of horseshit (as I had already said in this very thread the moment the OP changed). It is even worse when you know that the Z-power ring (unlike the normal z-ring) is supposed to be a piece of Necrozma. The writers clearly don't communicate with Game Freak to at the very least get the lore right.

Yeah I can feel it will get worse (to be fair, anything post Sinnoh is just bad). As for the manga, sorry but I don't read the manga since in my opinion it is even worse than the anime since it reads like a bad pokemon fanfic.
