love how indigo and unova both end with ash going “wow, what a fantastic experience” with a full theme song drop as they reminisce on their adventure over the battlefield in the sunset like those weren’t the worst written leagues in the series

#ok done with unova league. thought id do that in a day as i did chores just to get it over with #im glad im now on the n arc which i actually like #ok so now that im all refreshed on the unova league…. yeah still dont know which one is worse #like on one hand. stuff actually happened in the unova league and we got a couple of good battles as opposed to one #we actually see who wins even if ash doesnt battle him. and the overall animation is of course better bc more resources #but on the other hand. knowing that its trying so hard to emulate indigo (which they literally ditched and changed up all the worst ways #that they had handled it) just bc it was nostalgic. even though it makes absolutely no sense for where the characters are at at this point.#idk it kinda makes it feel worse? like indigo was awful and i hated it but at least that has the excuse of being their first try #and having a lower budget and sorta having a decent reason for ash to lose even if its contrived #like. there was a reason they couldnt show too many battles #echoed voice #like by all means indigo’s technically worse but on principle of trying to copy it at all? wtf best wishes #i know bw was a soft reboot at first but i dont see why that meant that they had to try and copy os all the time. it just holds it back #and the league is the perfect example of that. im not saying it had to be this grand epic event where ash is a badass who wins one sided #its even worse bc at this point they were literally dropping some of the os copying so why bring it back at such an awaited arc??#idk. back to my original question of which is worse? they balance each other out idk #pokeani lb
