THIS IS NOT A CHARGED POST

I'm putting this up tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't post every one of these on Patreon, but hopefully this will help a lot more people know what's going on and also help you guys find the Journey episodes a lot easier, a least until Patreon allows playlists 😋

The opening stretch of the Kanto arc is easily the show's highest point in my view. The main cast read as plausible individuals with defined traits and faults (instead of incessant catchphrases or narratively-efficient gimmicks - yeah, Iris, we know you think Ash is such a kid), locations are framed in a more spatially-realistic manner requiring substantial time to reach or traverse (the Viridian Forest isn't a five-minute video game location or a backdrop for a cluster of COTD-focused episodes but a legitimately-imposing wilderness in which Ash and Misty wander for around two weeks, as you'd expect from a pair of conflicting preteens) and Shudo's more cynical worldbuilding adds a gravity to Ash's trials that feels decidedly absent in most later seasons: it isn't merely Ash's initial inexperience and poor judgement that fuel these conflicts, but the disproportionately high standards the surrounding world, plagued by both the wonders and (significantly) the baggage of inhabiting a world of elementally-superpowered animals, stack upon a ten-year-old child: Onix strangling Pikachu, for example, isn't merely an athletic tournament or showcase (as with gym battles in later seasons) where the negative outcome is Ash "breaking his winning streak" or the like, but a legitimately brutal standoff (complete with implied potentially-mortal stakes for Pikachu, a small creature pitted against a monolithic train of living boulders and, more symbolically, the disproportionately unempathetic external treatment its opaque trainer piles onto Ash's amateurishness) that the episode refuses to unnecessarily bowdlerize tonally. Essentially, there's a sense of perspective and thematic dedication in this period that gives this era an immersive, almost cinematic flavour that the series later rejects in favour of becoming a more conventional lighthearted adventure show (even in its sporadic "darker" moments, such as the Paul arc in DP).
