The {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} had fewer filler episodes than the previous two sagas, ''Johto League'' and ''Advanced Generation'', but is occasionally criticized for the year long gap between Ash's [[DP127|seventh]] and [[DP179|eighth]] Gym battles. It is often alternatively seen that due to the vast supporting cast featured in Sinnoh, and the focus on character development in humans and Pokémon, the episodes which are deemed "filler" are not exactly so. For example, {{an|Dawn}}'s last Contests and the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] were aired during this gap. | The {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} had fewer filler episodes than the previous two sagas, ''Johto League'' and ''Advanced Generation'', but is occasionally criticized for the year long gap between Ash's [[DP127|seventh]] and [[DP179|eighth]] Gym battles.

The {{series|Best Wishes}} also had fewer filler episodes than previous sagas, mainly due to the speed of the series and the focus on character development, similar to the Diamond & Pearl series. Another "filler saga", the journey through the [[Decolore Islands]] in ''[[S16|Pokémon BW: Adventures in Unova and Beyond]]'', was released towards the end of the ''Best Wishes'' series. However, unlike previous "filler seasons", this arc had fewer major events due to the absence of any kind of League. The only important events that happened during this arc were {{an|Professor Oak}} catching a {{TP|Professor Oak|Rotom}} and [[Alexa]] joining Ash and company. Similarly to the ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands'', this arc was likely made to buy time for the release of the next games, in this case, [[Pokémon X and Y]]. | The {{series|Best Wishes}} also had fewer filler episodes than previous sagas, mainly due to the speed of the series and the focus on character development, similar to the Diamond & Pearl series.
