#why did we never hear from her again why isn't there an au reunion episode

[spevvy]

Seriously though i think the Star Trek character I identify with more than anyone else is Natira from For The World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky because lbr - if I was high priestess of my entire goddam WORLD and was just lounging about minding my own business one day with my perfect eye makeup and impractical clothing choices, and three random fellas turned up on my doorstep and picked a fight with my guards before literally demanding to speak to the man in charge, I too would give Bones an instant pass for any upset caused by the two absolute buffoons he's with because he's too beautiful to be angry with, and then ask him to marry me within approximately 0.0000000000000021 seconds of meeting him and eyefucking him into the middle of next week.

An icon istfg. We stan a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to get it!!!!!

(Gary anon) Could be, anything is possible. Could get more lore on characters who got warped back in time. (Quite a bit of episodes has been getting crowded to the brim; some faring better than others. And I don't think that train's stopping) Heh, Gary having a idol/modeling career doesn't sound too farfetched for a concept. (Hmm, wonder who the next companion return is. It's Cilan, May, Max, Tracey and Misty who haven't had anything physical yet. I'm leaning on Cilan or Misty)

.

(Part 2) (I think most expect Misty at some point, but I've been liking the idea of her coming by herself this time; maybe alongside Nessa rather than Brock again. Cilan, I think we might get a BW reunion) I think with some holding onto the possibility of a timeskip when his story ends, it can ultimately mean anything happening. (I'd say the best route for Ash is becoming a influential, mentor figure in his world, but NO references to any love interests or kids. Just show what's different)

(Part 3) (about him and what stayed the same) Yeah, never really had romantic feelings for characters, but when I go to re-watch them, I remember why I gravitated towards them and fill me with joy. Some people just get a bit TOO enthusiastic and possessive about certain characters and not seeing how that comes off when it's public. (Heh, after seeing Red and Blue, I wouldn't mind seeing what the future would hold for other protagonists and their rivals) Shipping wars are not new

(Part 4) to anipoke, but I remember a time when Ash ships felt more free range before the "Great Serena storm of XY" came in. (This isn't to say that there weren't constant fights on which Pokegirl deserved Ash the most; but when she swung by, the fandom just broke. Stuff has calm down sightly since then, but *the atmosphere is definitely different. {*While seeing a few label Palletshipping as more 'toxic' than SatoGou is funny to me; the same with Pokeshipping and Amour,)

(Part 5) (it does makes miss pre-XY days} And it's why I'm not surprised it took this long for her return) They deserve to end on a high note as much as Ash. (Oh yeah, some good news concerning subs, it seems the group who did Orange Islands is working on Johto currently, which is apparently completed. Just needs revising, along with up-scaling OS subs and will be released as torrents soon. They may or may not do random AG episodes here and there during break)

Yeah. I wonder if they'll put Volo in there at some point. Or the Hisui version of Ingo--imagine that poor guy getting yanked through time and space against his will twice.

Yeah, some episodes have so much going on.

I could see it for sure. I've been fond of the coordinator Gary AU concept for a while, performance just suits him. He has the looks and dramatic flair.

Hm, I wonder. Misty being the very first companion makes me feel like she might be saved for last, like a coming full circle thing. But who's going to turn up next, I have no idea. I wonder if at some point we could hear from Max about how his sister's doing.

Yeah, Ash's future is wide open.

That does sound like the best way to handle him in a hypothetical timeskip.

It's nice how sometimes the nature of our love for characters can change over the years, but the love is still there one way or another. Though yeah, some people are... a bit too overzealous about things, and it can come across in. Uncomfortable ways.

Yeah, it'd be very cool to see older versions of other protags and rivals and the kind of people they grew up to be, what lives they came to lead.

It did feel like the situation with A/mourShipping changed things. I'm sure XY has its good points (I'll watch it eventually) but I really am not a fan of how it affected the fandom all around--the ship wars somehow getting worse, Kalos League salt leading to such an influx of Ash Betrayal Fic... also XY's most devout fans talk so negatively about everything that came before and after it and that's annoying.

Yeah, that discourse is laughable (I've seen similar in the Contest vs Advance debate too, which is somehow still a thing) but it gets tiresome. I think it's also partly because at some point, people apparently decided they needed morally correct reasons to dislike things rather than just being like "I prefer this other thing." It's weird. An ex-friend of mine hated AppealShipping for no apparent reason other than claiming there might be an age gap (and like, age gaps in ships involving minors are iffy, but there's no indication of such an age gap existing between Dawn and Zoey canonically) which sure is a strange hill to die on.

But anyway. Yeah, the TRio definitely deserve a happy ending whenever the time comes.

Oh, nice!! Very exciting to think that eventually all of Pokeani will be subbed. The sheer dedication of some people in this fandom is amazing.
