#the pichu opening is REALLY strong and i thought it showed a ton of promise for the show

terribly sorry for progressively getting more and more annoyed and tired with jn. this show kinda gets a lot more exhausting on a rewatch when you know its not going to get better
#i think what happened when it was airing was that like. it was the direct successor to sun and moon right?
#and that was a show EVERYONE shat on when it got revealed. the setting the art change the shift to a goofier style etc etc
#but then it aired and aside from some hiccups while adjusting the first few eps- sm turned out to be a joy of a show
#not just for a casual watch- you can tune on most episodes without context and just have a pleasant time bc its a cozy show
#but also if youre more into the battle scene bc this series kinda goes hard on them
#and while the episodes had a goofier tone to them the episodes never felt like they were talking down to its audience
#everyone brings up the deaths and how maturely they were handled but seriously- they didnt need to go that hard on the minior episode
#and yet- it took fans a long time to really come around to it and stop giving it bad faith criticism
#the most popular youtubers were finding every excuse to shit on it and mock the fans
#so i think when jn was announced with another slight art shift and a different format- i think we all got a little defensive over it
#like hey sm had hiccups too! jn just needs some time to grow into itself and find its footing
#and we had no reason to think it wouldn’t. like there were some red flags like how mimey was handled and some clickbait episodes
#but we got genuinely nice episodes back then too! the scorbunny eps were neat and ash and gohs intro eps are great
#the pichu opening is REALLY strong and i thought it showed a ton of promise for the show
#the leon and eternatus stuff was being set up
#so i waited for jn to pick up and waved off a lot of criticism as bad faith bc hey. ppl were ruthless to sm and forgetting that we do have t
#to work with the limit that its a childrens series. which is fine.
#but well…… suddenly we’re in the final arc and its not better. its worse. holy shit did it get worse
#episodes like the drizzile one were now the exception. not the rule.
#most episodes that are pleasant on a first watch became an absolute slog on a rewatch
#the ‘’fanservice’’ feels more like a marketing ploy than an attempt to respect the characters. the production value was a goddamn mess.
#entire arcs went unresolved
#so it gave me rose tinted glasses until it all fell apart at once for me at the end
#but now i have the joyful experience of watching the whole thing through knowing damn good and well it gets worse. yay
