We've had SO MANY amazing times with Ash and all of his amazing friends while growing up with this franchise. All through the good times and bad times, and in three day's, it will be time for us to say goodbye. Thank you for everything you did for us.
As Liko, Roy, and Dot make their Terastal Debut, they are truly growing into a great squad of travelling friends of their own now, making their big debuts as Trainers on their own two feet.
The way they treated Steven in Gen3 was so odd. He only ever appeared in this one-off, and is a no-show during the whole Hoenn crisis two-parter with Lance getting the spotlight instead. (I guess for FRLG promotion, or because Wallace had taken over the Champ role in the games by the time those episodes aired?) Fortunately, the Mega Evolution specials were a lot kinder to him.
Also, I like this shot of TR. When you wake up in the middle of the night and check your phone:
hello i would like to formally point out that ash ketchum is a tiny lil boy just look at him!!
he’s a good head shorter than brock AND noticeably shorter than misty, an average height girl if not on the shorter side, comparing how tiny they look to any adult within the series:
no, this is not an error! put him next to ANY adult-sized human from any generation and he barely comes up to their chin--
all other generations he is the same height as/slightly shorter than the pokegirl:
unrelated but tell me this does not look like the face of a kid who is unironically about to start belting parry gripp like the 10 year old little shit he is /affectionate
STILL CANT GET OVER HOW SERENA IS TALLER THAN HIM OMG-- THE SCENE WHERE SHE TIPTOES TO KISS HIM?? BESTIE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN CROUCHING DOWN
poor sophocles who’s probably just hitting the 3 foot mark--
journeys is a little bit harder to decipher, goh and ash are about the same height, HOWEVER:
goh is consistently on the top bunk, guess they figured it out lol
ANYWAYS LOOK HOW FAR HE’S COME <3333
this is what you call quality character growth (pun intended).
Idk when im gonna revisit this. So! Sharing for the pokéani community. GameFreak didn’t put Wally in the anime, so I will <3
These were some ideas of how Wally might be introduced at Norman’s gym in the episode There’s No Place Like Hoenn, and then catch Ralts in a following episode! 🌱
