#and its nice to see ash and goh do a raid together like this and the evolutions are both done well

its kinda crazy to think about, but i think the anime version of the darkest day arc was the most faithful adaptation to the original game arc? which is crazy because otherwise jn is allergic to doing anything with galar.

#like…. in a way i cant decide if i like the game or the anime version more here #bc the snappier pace and split roles in the anime do wonders for the story- if a little rushed. like the protags get to do things #before the climax #and its nice to see ash and goh do a raid together like this and the evolutions are both done well #but like……… man. this was a hop and swsh protag plot for sure. like theyre the ones w personal connection to leon #and theyre the ones who live by the heroes’ shrine #and its a great cap to hop’s arc throughout the game where he gets to save his brother for once #makes me think about how dirty hop got done in this show #by comparison ash and goh arent as intertwined with galars history and setting. which… again couldve been solved if galar was the hub #but whateverrr #and ik i just praised the faster pacing in the anime but the slowburn in the games also kinda helps more with buildup #also raihan gets done better in the game and sonia gets to do more and- #ok yeah now that i type it out the game version is definitely better idk what im talking about fjfjfjfjjf but the anime’s adaptation is fine #echoed voice #jn lb
