List some of the best fillers

[SonansuMan]

As a BIG Pokèmon fan, I am widely interested in watched the anime. But what I love about the anime is more so not only the battling, story aspect of it, but rather the fun, enjoyable, and interesting fillers that the Pokèmon anime manage to spew out often (I'm looking at you, Johto).

Fillers allow the anime to usually show the comedic aspect of the series, with fun and experiment ideas that are used occasionally in the fillers. A really good filler that I'd reccomend is "Forest Grumps". That's one of my favorite fillers in the entire series because it's more then just a Ash-and-friends-split-up episode. It actually has a fun little twist used in the episode, making it much more enjoyable.

Another awesome filler episode I like is "A Conspiracy to Conquer" because of how the manipulative COTD is not a person; it's a Pokémon instead. (To be fair, the manipulative COTD IS a person, but not purposely.) The best part about it is that it actually has a second part of it too, that episode being named "Facing a Grand Design", which is truly one of my favorite XY episodes.

What fillers would you guys reccomend for me to watch? Please tell me down below in the thread!

I also really love fillers and they are frequently some of my favorite episodes. To me they will pretty much be the best or the worst episodes depending, but I really like a lot of them, here are some of my favorites (in order of when they happened):

-Ditto's Mysterious Mansion - Duplica is awesome, and I think this is the first time the TR motto got stolen
-A Hot Water Battle - I really liked in Johto all the times the whole group took a break and all the Pokemon got to play, and this one sticks out the most to me. The conflict was pretty good and the episode had some good humor too, and of course Chikorita acts super cute
-Fly Me to the Moon - I liked the story in this episode a lot and the message, and the pudgy pidgey were hilarious.
-Just Waiting on a Friend - This episode was pretty intense and had a very interesting/cool story.
-A Poke-Block Party - Just super hilarious
-Strategy Tomorrow - Comedy Tonight - Funny, touching story, Brock does his song, and its where my picture comes from
-Steamboat Willies - This one is really fun as all the Pokemon get left on a boat and basically play around, very enjoyable and Pachirisu is unbelievably cute
-Gone with the Windworks - Mostly just the scene where Lyra ask's "Dane" who she would marry, but the rest of the episode is pretty entertaining, as all the ones with Lyra were
-Battling the Leaf Theives - not totally sure why, but I always really enjoyed this one.
-The Cave of Mirrors - Mirror Serena, enough said
-Bonus: Celebi and Joy (SS Episode with Richie) - Has really interesting time travel story, romance, etc.

I'm sure there are a lot I missed, as I like a lot of fillers and of course can't remember all of them (considering there are almost 1000 episodes now) and its also hard to say sometimes what counts as "filler" (I threw a few out I was thinking about because of some event such as Pokemon capture, battle, meeting important people, etc). There are probably also a handful that are equally as bad as these are good. And of course since we all like different things, some people probably think my list would be better fit for a bad list, but that's what makes this fun.

The Wayward Wobbuffet is probably one of my favorites-- I love big "chase" episodes like that, and it was fun to see Team Rocket and Ash/friends both work together but against one another at the same time.

A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!. This episode makes me laugh every time I watch it, though I'm not sure if it counts as a filler because Ash's Gible was introduced here.

The episode was beautifully animated. I love all the reactions and facial expressions, Brock carrying that old lady on his back, Dawn's Piplup being hit by a failed Draco Meteor, Gible eating Team Rocket's mecha... It's all too funny. Plus it features Altaria, which is one of my favorite Pokémon.
