A common trope with these statements is that their take is the opposite of unpopular. Pokemon is, of course, no exception to these kinds of claims.

Pikachu Pokemon Anime

In the Pokemon anime, the cries that 𝕴Pokemon make are vastly different from the ones they make ꦺin the games. As opposed to animal-like noises, the Pokemon in the anime simply say their name or parts of it as their cry.

Plenty of people in the Pokemon community found this feature being implemented in the g💞ames for Pikachu and Eevee to be infuriating. This person is disagreeing with the dislike of the anime voices, saying that they🥀 love them instead.

With every new region Ash journeys through, he cycles through new teams. This includes an 'ace' of sorts, a Pokemon of his aside from Pikachu that could be called his strongest. In X and Y, this Pokemon was Greninja while in previous regions, it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:was Infernape or Charizard.

The person writing the post is unhappy with Greninja as its story is much less touching than the other two's. They claim Charizard being neglected and Infernape being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:abandoned by their last trainers are m🌱ore worthy stoꦜries to be had in that position.

Pokemon Sun Moon Ash Pikachu Solgaleo

With the huge change in animation style the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sun and Moon series underwent, it immediately got on a lot of people's bad sides. While many 💮people gave it a chance and ended up disliking it, most said it was bad from the animation alone.

The writer of this post claims that people are too harsh on the Sun and Moon anime. They say the style is charming and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:character arcs are great as aꦏre the characters themselves. They also think it should be seen as a new series a💦s opposed to a sequel to previous seasons.

5 🐽 "I Don't Like T🐟he Anime"

This one is very self-explanatory and shared by far more than just one person. People who dislike the anime are very common in the Pokemon comm♏unity, despite being titled an unpopular opinion.

These people can have their own variety of reasons for disliking it: they don't like the characters, they don't li🎀ke the story, or just brush it off as a kid's show. Whatever the reason it's a stark contrasཧt from those that actually do like it.

4 "I Like Thꦗe Anime"

Yes, both this and the previous entry arꦯe somehow both able to be unpopular opinions on Reddit. This one is also self-explanatory -- an opinion belonging to the group of people that like what the anime has to offer.

Those who like the anime either appreciate the things others don't or just find more to like than dislike. They could find the battles engaging and exciting, the journeys fun to experience and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:characters entertaining to watch.

Ash has a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:wide range of companions he travels with throughout the regions. In each of his travel groups, he always has at least one girl with him, such as Misty or Dawn in🎶 previous regions. Serena fills this spot in his journey throu🍷gh X and Y.

The person writing the po🅷st claims that she isn't a likable character since she revolves around Ash. They say she's a bland character that just serves to be a love interest for him and that her crush felt forced and unnecessary.

In Sun and Moon, Ash makes his way to a tournament to determine the champion of the Alola region. In contrast to previous regions, he actually makes it very far in this tournament, managing to 𝄹take home the win and become the regional champion.

This individu﷽al claims that despite winning the tournament, he still isn't a real champion. They say Ash won a tournamenᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚt filled with his friends and reached that point without beating any gyms, as Alola lacks them.

Another self-explanatory entry, simply meaning that this person finds the anime to be more enjoyable than playing the games. It offers a more 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:dynamic and flexible perspective that the games can't replicate.

They enjoy the personali🎀ty shown in the Pokemon anime, the experiences displayed, and have fond memories of it. In the games, they see the locations as bland and the gameplay as slow, r🌳epetitive, and uninteresting.
