Sun and Moon: Filler Development Appreciation Time

I think a good filler or even a filler arc has well-written characters surrounding it. BW and XY suffered in this way, at least in my opinion... whenever they introduced a game character, I felt like much of the time, they relied on fans having played the games to already be fans of Tierno and so on and so forth. They would make entire 3-4 episode filler arcs to introduce them, but never truly develop them. For the most part, the episodes ended up feeling 'meh' to me.

That could just be me though. I'm sure there were plenty that probably enjoyed the characters like Bianca. I tended to like their anime-only characters who last for a long time like Alain who seem to be similar to main characters in that they change and develop over time, and the episodes dedicated to characters like them feel like they move the plot along.
