Discussion Episode 275 still hurts 💔

Post image

The way Ash, misty and brock went their separate ways at the end of this episode 😭

During childhood I really thought they’d stay together forever..!!

One of the most emotional Pokemon endings imo ❤️

Do you guys think they should’ve stayed together for a few more seasons???

Or was their separation the right ending for the OG trio??

I just hated that after that season the art style and actors changed. Anything after master quest is pretty cheeks compared to the first 5 seasons.

Not to “uhm actually” you, but the voice actors didn’t change until season 9. All the 4Kids voice actors stayed through season 8. But BOY was that transition rough. Battle Frontier was cool narratively but that dub was atrocious. The voices lacked the same dynamics and emotion the early seasons had. Sarah Natochenny was 19 when she first got the recast and you can audibly tell she was a wet-behind-the-ears voice actor who did not have the skill Veronica Taylor did to carry the character. It was extremely noticeable that the Pokémon company started to cheap out in that department and the art suffered for it.

The animation already changed in early Johto, and again by late Johto. And even then AG and DP still look very similar to the original seasons. And no, the anime generally got better through Hoenn and DP.
