This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the point where the anime is dealing with the Battle Frontier. It's a very mixed season overall, for one side the Battle Frontier episodes are very good, and so are its battles, relevant episodes overall are good. On the other hand, the filler becomes terrible and more useless than normal, and the lost a HUGE chance to bring back more characters of the day from the first seasons, seing as this one happens back in Kanto. Instead of having this chance to develop recurring characters, we're dealing with even more episode-only filler ones, and episode-only locations that will never matter or come back.… Expand
