Pros over previous seasons:
Cons over previous seasons:
No different from previous seasons, for better or for worse:
Ultimately, I would encourage anyone who enjoyed Season 12 to watch Season 13, especially if their only reason for dropping the series was the character facial design change. But on the other hand, if your only reason for wanting to watch Pokemon again is "I heard Team Rocket is really badass now! ", then I'd say you should probably not bother picking it up again. Yes, they are more "badass" now, but define "badass." Because it's not like they're successfully kidnapping Pokemon. If anything, from what I've seen so far (through Episode 16) ... (PET THEORY, POSSIBLY A SPOILER) Spoiler: show If I'm right, then you can easily see how I'd hesitate to call them "badass." They're being presented as badasses, yes, but ... it's way too early to tell if they're going to ultimately succeed in what they're doing or not.

It's kinda funny - Ash, even battling at his best (e.g. in the Orange Islands), would be absolutely terrible at ASB.

Then what does that say for how unlike the anime the ASB really is?

That says that the Anime likes using deus ex machina, which is not quite a great foundation for a battling system.
I think that the fact that a Sceptile can KO a Tropius that is beating the crap out of it with only Grass moves proves my point. |

Clearly Dialga cursed Ash with the infinite youth to keep the series going.
Also, not everyone uses Agility to dodge. Plenty of people just say dodge. |

>just say dodge.
Well, ever since the regular dodge rate was set at 30%, Agility has been pretty much the only thing. |

I wasn't criticizing why the ASB can't be like the anime and be a good game at the same time. I was criticizing why the ASB styles itself "the ASB" in the first place. And it was light-hearted at its most sinister, so don't take it like a serious attack.
If you want deus ex, click the spoiler box for why I was dissatisfied with how things turned out in the end of Episode 16 ... (I'd really encourage you to, Jeri, so you can join me in a good laugh and see I meant no harm.) Spoiler: show

Wow. In Episode 18, I just saw something happen which I don't think has happened since Season 1. I wonder what it means ...
Spoiler, Lite Version (no creature names): Spoiler: show Spoiler, Regular Version (creature names, more thoughts): Spoiler: show Also, Episode 20? I didn't like Ducklett to begin with, but I was enraged at the trio of asshole waterfowl by the final fight in this episode. Holy shit, what a bunch of dicks. Ducklett should be the new mascot for 4chan's /b/ after this episode.

I think Pignite's ugly too, to be honest, but I totally see that evolution happening. I'd say I see Dewott evolving too but for the fact that Oshawott's personality is too rich to lose to an evolution. He'll probably be stuck in his initial stage like Piplup was. But I'd love to be proven wrong here.
Regarding your comments on Episode 20 ... Spoiler: show
