Biggest missed opportunities so far: 1. There needs to be more mini-arcs in Journeys. The series is tailor made for this kind of storytelling because its not tied so closely to a game. There should have been more than one episode with Korrina or Iris, and more time spent in the various regions that Ash visited. That also opens up opportunities to return more old companions and mons. Hopefully we’ll get more of that in the next season. 2. Not working “Don’t Stop Believing” into an episode title.

Agreed, the whole reserch fellow situation is reason enough to have gou and ash go out to do expedition arcs for professor Sakuragi to balance the filler and story episodes. Also, the professor needs some development. Instead we only see him the first few minutes in an episode telling ash and gou what to do and never seen again. What is his research/goal? At this point in sun and moon professor kukui was really well developed around episode 70.

That would've given us so much world building and lore to work with right there. At the very least provide us some stronger closure after friends and rivals finish their business with Ash, like what about Paul? How did his rematch with Brandon go? DId he run into Zoey and Candice in Snowpoint City and did they watch? Was Paul confronted by Maylene for a rematch when he returned home to Velistone City (we never even seen Paul in his own hometown with Reji at all)? We could seen May, Dawn, Serena, Iris starting their solo journeys without the gang like we did with Misty and even had some follow up episodes after that. (BW and SM casts are big enough to have a few stories of their own) During XY there are ORAS plot points not even vaguely addressed like Zinnia a Dragon Trainer in Hoenn that could've been the center of an ORAS plot for Iris to deal with, or Lissia a top class Coordinator for May to compete with on a grander stage. It also could've been interesting if Max actually started his own journey with Misty acting as his traveling mentor since it was almost alluded to with their episodes. You literally could put in the inbetween episodes where Brock goes home to the Gym, or when he meets Cilan, or Cilan meeting Clemont and Bonnie, Dawn's Cyndaquil evolving, etc within these episodes.

None of the Johto Elite four show up at all in the anime, and it would have been cool to see Koga again as he is a Johto elite four. There also are no elite four in Unova or Kalos , which was terribly missed as an opportunity. 3) Steven Stone not having a role in the Groudon and Kyogre arc, also not having more elements of Emerald by getting Rayquaza to stop the fight. 4) No Giratina or Reverse world conflict in the Galactic showdown.

Technically only Will and Karen are absent from the Johto E4 in the main anime, since Koga, Bruno, and Lance all make an appearance. The only unfair one of the bunch being Koga since it was before he was an E4.

One thing I think you missed Zac. Another missed opportunity from Gen 7: What is Nanu's connection to Giovanni? We saw an episode where Nanu was speaking to Giovanni on the phone about the Team Rocket trio, but we never saw any continuation from that. I wish we got an explanation behind their relationship.

6:25 It is literally stated in the anime that the Battle Frontier was only recently set up - so it didn't exist when Ash last traveled Kanto.

Aging Ash in XY. This would be so epic, I feel like this would be cool because they could have made Sawyer Be Max instead and justify having Sawyer being introduced so late in the series, this would make that character even greater.

Missed Opportunity: Not introducing a Pokémon with a hidden ability in the Gen 5 anime. I still think we should see a Pokémon with a cool hidden ability show up. Probably one of the infamous ones too like Blaziken’s Speed Boost. They probably could’ve made Ash fight one during the Unova league to make his loss more convincing. Better yet I think it would be cooler if that ninja guy(Idk how to spell his name) had a Protean Greninja.

Man This goes to show what could've been

11:29 It just got finished now bro

A very simple thing that i personally dont agree that the anime did was... give Goh Grookey... like that's for me the biggest missed/disaster they did on journeys Did they seriously just were like. "Sobble is gonna be evolved and not be seen for a while. Goh clearly needs a shoulder companion. I know let's give it grookey. Weren't we saving that one for ash?nahhhh" and Zac already covered how bad they did the grookey transaction to Goh. It was so bad...

How come the anime doesn't use items at all during battles aside from Mega Stones, Dynamax, and Z-Crystals? They let abilities be a part of battles starting in Sinnoh and items could've added a whole new layer to the anime fights....

I think items are a weird one. If Pokemon were to hold items, they would just be holding them or have them on their back or something. If trainers had items, then what would be stopping gym leaders from calling back their Pokemon to heal them, somewhat ruining the pace of the battle. I think items other than Megas, Z-Moves and Dynamax being used is a cool idea, but think it wouldn't be as great with it's execution.

abilities were used starting in Hoenn, when they were CREATED. they didn't exist prior to gen 3. Top of my head, Ash's Grovyle used Overgrow in the battle with Norman, and Tyson's Hairyama was described by Brock as "it has a layer of fat so thick that fire and ice attacks only do half the damage they should"

For me one of the biggest disappointments is ash not getting more than six pokemon kinda like black and white i wish he would rotate his pokemon but better because black and white was a mess

One thing I think can make up for Rainbow Rocket not being in the anime, is just having it show up in Journeys. It could be this big arc that could finally give us a battle between Ash and Giovanni that isn't just Persian destroying Pikachu in a single hit like in Unova. Plus with them going to every region, it would make more sense for Rainbow Rocket to happen in Journeys.

I wish we had a rainbow rocket arc, it would be so awesome to see all the evil team leaders meet ash again, there would be no mercy, and ash would have no mercy because he knows how bad they all are

Technically a past companion returned in XY but we got an episode where Clemont and Bonnie met Cilan but it was a special episode that only aired in Japan.

I know. I really liked her, she’s adorable. It felt they were setting her up to be Ash’s third rival (after Gary and Ritchie). But no. She and Ritchie got a few Pokémon Chronicles episodes and then it was sayonara forever.

Another on Missed opportunity in XY/XYZ for me is no real conclusion to the Evil Malamar Arc, after their machine was destroyed in their second episode, they just leave swearing vengeance and are never seen again, which is honestly a bummer since they made such a terrifying introduction just to get shafted after the second episode

I have one.There’s No pokken tournament the series. I think it would’ve been really epic in the fight department.

Seriously the whole pokémon anime is defined by missed opportunities.

One thing that I think is a missed opportunity is Ash battling either Drayden or Iris for his final badge in the Best Wishes Series. I get that they had him fight Roxie instead to promote Black 2 and White 2, but she isn't even the eighth gym leader in those games. They could've even had Ash fight Iris in a gym battle and tied that in with Iris's battle against Drayden and Drayden wanting Iris to take over for him as the Opelucid Gym Leader in the future.

One thing we missed in Pokémon journeys, which you mostly know is Zac, Ash lost a chance to battle with Ho-Oh in a filler episode 9 with a boy and his grandfather. Also, one thing we also lost was special episodes not dubbed into English too.

I want more then anything, a reboot of the Pokemon Anime where they actually make it based on the games, featuring the game protagonists as the actual main characters and telling the story we know from the games, in the same sense they did with Pokemon: Origins, Pokemon Generations, and Pokemon Twilight Wings. I don't know why they refuse to do this but it would be the greatest thing ever.

Ash vs Richie would ve been amazing cuz richie was a friendly rival. Zac anime keeps giving major hints of big events. It gave riolu hints from dp and lo what happened our boy has a lucario. Garchomp hints are also given left and right throughout the anime(from dp).

Love your channel man, keep up the good work :)

Not utilizing Ash's reserves. You don't need them to completely overshadow newly caught pokemon but you can do fun one off eps like Ash entering a fighting type tournament with infernape or bringing Muk to Alola to compare it to the Alolan form

6:38 I mean, its possible that it was formed after Ash's first trip through the region. After all, he didn't know what Pokemon Contests were until he reached Hoenn, but Kanto had them during the Battle Frontier arc.

I remember when you mention hoops in hip hop

The kalos league enough said

You should review Pokemon Adventures! It has different main characters for each region instead of just one character who gets boring very quickly and it even has a proper battle with Giovanni (maybe two or three though) who becomes a sort of goodish guy even though he's still in charge of his organisation.

Now this is like seeing some stuff that got unused in games

Missed opportunity in Sinnoh: Ash with Garchomp

Ash not fully evolving Oshawott was such a big missed opportunity. Also not bringing back a Hoenn Pokemon in XY was such a miss, we could’ve seen Corphish evolve or get Glalie some more wins. Ash should have also got Lucario in Sinnoh, but it’s placement in Journeys is just fine

Here is my list Gen 1 - Ash losing a pokemon league Gen 2 - GS Ball storyline Gen 3 - Ash fighting evil team leaders Gen 4 - Ash vs Poul in the finals Gen 5 - entire exelent story from games Gen 6 - wasted megaevolution for Ash Gen 7 - May, Dawn, Serena, and Clemont possible return Gen 8 - proper Goh early character build up in first 50 episodes , not a player using 100% catch cheat mode to get every pokemon

Even after generation 8 anime has ended recently I am still keeping the same opinion.

One of the biggest opportunities missed is the Champions League it was hinted several times in Diamond and Pearl serises (Aaron hinted it, Lucian mentions it, Cynthia mentions it, Flint hints it with his battle against Cynthia. Don’t remember if Bertha mentioned it) it’s brought up again in Unova with both Ash and Trip wanted to battle Alder and Trip mentions it after the Junior Cup and then it’s mentioned again in XYZ by Dianthia when Ash wants to battle her and she mentions about not doing unofficial battles the elite 4 aren’t heavily involved in the serise until Hoenn and Sinnoh (Bruno and Prima and Lance appear in Kanto orange island and Johto)

9:21 technically cilan returned in kalos but that episode was after Serena left to hoen and ash returned to kanto

2:37 If Jessie, James and Meowth kept that persona during X and Y it would've raised a lot more stakes Edit: Honestly we were robbed of a Gym Battle between Ash and Drayden.

Agreed realistically Ash should have gotten all 10 of Unova's Badges. The Unova Anime should have gone to Opelucid City for at least 3 Episodes before going to Virbank City. Best Wishes was poorly written from the beginning, & Iris suffers from it.

The Goh episode was wholesome and also introducing the sevii islands into the anime would have been redundant since that’s basically what the orange islands was already

I keep wishing that the clone Pokémon would come back. Maybe some of them have been caught by now. Maybe some are leading herds/packs/flocks in the wild. Maybe they're being researched due to their implied supernatural aspects.

Missed Opportunities is part of what makes Pokemon as TV series so loveable. The fact that plotlines, character motivations, and reunions will never be fully shown or completed is what allows for many fun Fan theories to emerge. The show is about momentary fun per episode than a long-running storyline.

The Original Battle Tower in Olivine City. Remember that in HG/SS they upgraded it into the Johto Battle Frontier. Also I was pretty upset that they never went to the Northeastern Part of Sinnoh.

I’m pretty sure the sevii islands are video game adaptation of the orange islands which is why it wasn’t necessary to show them again in the anime. One of the biggest hints is how Lorelei is native to the sevii islands in the games and the orange islands in the anime, but thats just how I interpreted it.

Always felt that Ash going back to Kanto and his Primeape and especially his Pidgeot not making a return was such a missed opportunity
