It's crazy to me how so many fandoms fear the idea of "filler" episodes. Of course, there is such thing as too much in-between episodes that do little for the actual plot however I feel like people, especially in this fandom, put too much importance on specific events happening to make an episode matter.
An episode developing characters and bonds are looked down on because they lack captures, gym battles, an evolution and so on. Much enjoyment is lost because people want to look down on EVERY FILLER EPISODE. I think that unless people change their mentality and just enjoy it for what it is, they will always be disappointed.
I think Sun and Moon is doing an awesome job this time around to make every episode count. It doesn't feel like each episode is separate from the plot but part of it. XY was awesome with this also. They fully developed every character with every episode so that they felt fleshed out.
What are your thoughts?
