When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, filler episodes were reduced due to the introduction of [[Pokémon Contests]], causing many fans to declare it the best of the anime's arcs. As with the Kanto saga, however, Hoenn was followed by a filler arc, ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'', which built up for the arc corresponding to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

With the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} on the air, some fans speculate that this arc will be another Johto-like arc, due to many filler episodes taking place, with [[Ash Ketchum]] having 6 badges and {{an|Dawn}} having 4 ribbons out of the [[List of Diamond & Pearl episodes|more than 100 aired episodes]] so far in Japan.  The other point of view is that there have been relatively view filler episodes due to the vast supporting cast featured in Sinnoh, and the focus on character development in humans and Pokemon.  Just because an episode isn't a gym battle, contest match, or running into the rival doesn't mean it's filler.
