What wentright?
>>26436056
Brock came back for the second or third time
Ash was competent
>>26436069
Brock was the lowpoint of the DP anime.

BLAZE BLAZE BLAZE BLAZE BLAZE BLAZE
>Ambipom pursues dream of table fucking tennis
>>26436056
Not Brock or Piplup, that's for sure.
>>26436223
The lowpoint was the contests
>>26436056
Paul
>>26436084
this and it was great
>>26436223
Atleast he doesn't look like an alien
>>26436271
No.
The lowpoint of DP was Brock himself who had no reason to be there anymore, Kenny being a terrible character, Piplup getting overused too much in the second half of DP, and if you count it the rushed end with Tobias.
>Dawn being a female Ash
>Paul being one of the best rivals in the series

Good shit

>>26436300
Actually this, contests were awful. I recently watched the Hoenn region animes and the shows were a lowpoint here but I struggled through, when I got to Sinnoh I thought it was over, finally no more fucking contests and was met with more of the same.
It finally killed me and I couldn't finish the Sinnoh animes, it was the contests that did that made me want to end myself.
>>26436406
You must not like fun.

>The ENTIRE league

XXXDD!@
Paul.
DP was boring as hell and easily had the worst fillers.
>>26436489
DP's fillers as a whole were better than Johto/AG's. With XY its debatable I suppose.
Literally Everyone wants to fuck Dawn: the season
>>26436501
DP's group dynamic put me to sleep and everyone's personality was bland as hell.
>>26436512
Really? Who?
>>26436517
Well the blame for that is Brock. Some of Dawn's rivals were boring but other than that I don't see what else.
Paul, Barry, Conway, Ursula, all had great personalities. Zoey was a mixed bag and Nando just didn't appear enough.
>>26436524
>>26436566
>>26436590
>>26436669
But of course Dawn ends up elsewhere in BW
Who would win?
>>26436271
Disagree. Lowpoint was the filler hell before Sunyshore.
>>26436730
XY team > DP team
>tfw Gible will never ever evolve
It's really stronger as a Gible, wonder what damage it could have done.
Typical, but this went right
>>26437148
Chimchar's whole story was better than Froakie's.
>>26436730
It's not even debateable.
XY Ash would completely crush DP Ash, like as onesidedly as Tobias beat DP Ash.
Recent episodes made this clear.
Pretty much everything.

>A rival who actually impacts Ash's character development and shows up fairly often

>>26436056
Literally everything.
the best anime to go along with the best region.
It also had the best filler episode.
>>26436056
It was the Dawn of a new generation
>>26436056
ash had a great team.
>>26436590
THIS WAS REAL.
>>26437206
Why do people hate Max, exactly? I don't remember him being particularly infuriating when I watched Advance a decade ago.
>>26440680
I didn't mind Max myself, but I guess people didn't like him because he sometimes made fun of Ash or May.
Max basically functioned the same way Misty did in the OS, complete with pulling Brock's ear.
Saikyo Everyday
>>26440680
Max only had two modes: "Arrogant shit" and "background decoration"
>>26436056
Pikachu was more important to ash in DP than grenigger in XY
>>26436730
Let's see.
DP Pikachu>XY Pikachu. Also Electric>Flying
DP Ash potentially beats almost whole XY team with one pokemon. Synchro Greninja is a problem though.
>>26436056
It was a bad rehash of Advanced with a less likeable girl. Dawn's hogging of the airtime for her dumb contest bullshit made me finally drop the show.
>>26444518
XY Pikachu took down the Mega.
>>26437160
And Treecko's was better than Chimchar's.
>>26444550
>third gym fight mega
Noice. Totally hardcore.
>>26436056
>Top tier main girl.
>Main girl was as enjoyable as Ash.
>Good rivals.
>Good Pokemon team development.
?
>>26444518
If Ash Greninja can hold its own against Alan's Mega Charizard X, then I doubt anyone on Ash's Sinnoh team could do anything against Ash Greninja.
>>26444639But Alan is a jobber. Tobias was probably stronger than him.
>>26440680
Remember that episode where he was being a little shit stealing Ash's hard earned badge and running off with it because he was butthurt his dad lost?
>dawn
>brock

>edgy rival
>fucking barry
everything.
>>26436056
>Filler-hell season with TR at their most retarded
>Going right
Literally the only good thing they did in DP was with the rival and Ash growing as a character through him. Everything else was shit, just like the rest of the anime turned into once Johto started and Shudo was kicked off the anime
>Pro
Croagunk
Sudowoodo
Gliscor
Biseal
Swinub
Pachirisu
Yanmega
Episodes from Maylene up to Candice was fucking great and had pacing
More than 2 handfuls of great filler episodes
Fuck you the contests were great
Edgy rival was actually done well
Hunter Jay
Most of Ash's mons evolved
Nice throw backs to older episodes and seasons every now and again
>Cons
The filler between Gardenia and Maylene
Brock, I like you but why are you still here? At least do something besides cook and hit on women
Piplup was Oshawott prototype
Mary Sue muh tragic fire type Chimchar
The JUSTing of Torterra
Tobias
It wasn't the last season to use Ash
>Mixed bag
It was cool to see a large recurrent class instead of Who's of the day like in Johto. Most were meh at best and Kenny was a stupid manlet
Staraptor was really cool but at this stage I was sick of Ash getting birdmons
>>26444618
SAUCE
Would be easier to list the things that went wrong:
>Ambipom not returning for the Grand Festival
>Kenny
That's all I've got.
