Once they saw that Sun and Moon did a complete 180° in terms of tone and characterization compared to XY, they were whining and moaning about how Sun and Moon "ruined the Pokémon Anime forever", not realizing that popularity within their own bubble did not equal popularity among the general masses.

My ranking (Journeys and Kanto not included*) Worst 6th- Unova: 5/10 It was just mid, cant give it a lower score purely because of nostalgia since this was the first series i watched. 5th- Johto: 6.1/10 It was fine, the league kind of saved it, I dont have too much to say about Johto, the first opening is my favorite in the whole series tho. 4th- Hoenn: 7.9/10 It was really refreshing seeing Ash with new pokémon and companions, and not only we had Ash battling in gyms/league, we had May with the pokémon contests, which were rlly fun, the battle frontier was the cherry at the top. Also, I like Max, sorry. 3rd- Kalos: 8.5/10 Loved Kalos, Ash was at his peak for sure, it actually looked like he aged for once, and his companions were really nice too, Serena's showcases were kinda meh, I wish she did contests instead (mostly cause I prefer battles), overall this series is great. 2nd- Alola: 9.2/10 I dont know how to explain, I just loved Alola's vibe, Ash taking a well deserved break from having to travel whole regions to battle different gyms, mixed with many companions that i personally really liked, a great pokémon team with two freaking legendaries, and he finally won a league, well, low requirement league due to it being new, but I dont mind that, Ash vs Kukui was the second best battle ever. Only downside for me was the artstyle, but it kind of matched Alola vibe so it aint even that bad. I just loved this journey and im sad that it ended. 1st- Sinnoh: 9.8/10 What can I say, this was just peak Pokémon, you could see Ash's growth from previous series (WHEN IT HAD DECENT CONTINUITY), he had a powerful rival that we all love to hate, great pokémon team, Dawn being Dawn (she deserved to win that festival, fuck Zoey), Ash vs Paul was a masterpiece that I will never forget. Only downside is obviously Tobias, dude had 2+ legendaries and we dont even get a backstory from him? At least Ash defeated 2 of them, my man deserved to win that league. I doubt we are gonna have something as good as Sinnoh. *Kanto and Journeys arent included cause: 1. Im currently watching Journeys, I might update this list eventually 2. When I decided to watch the whole series, I decided to skip Kanto since I had already seen it before, what I didnt remember is that I watched it like, 5+ years ago, so I dont have many memories to actually rank it fairly, might watch it after im done with Journeys I could talk a lot more about every single one of these, but no one rlly cares.

A few thoughts: The Silver League of the Johto Journeys section was amazing, especially the Ash v Gary fight. Journeys was better than expected. I prefer this method for picking the best trainers over the overused gym system, even if it was lifted straight from Metabots. Still, don't know why those final fights weren't full 6v6's.

Because he projects himself onto Ash. That's why.

[@insecure8926]

If you were one of those who watched the prior series, you would know that Ash in BW seems to do so many mistakes that by now should not happen. Not trying to say you should know those things, but for those who watched it before, it was like suffered a total reset in capabilities as a trainer.

[@LittleAl016]

@@insecure8926 Except those mistakes he's made in BW are the same he's been making in AG and DP. They aren't anything new. He's had the same problems as a character in BW that he's had ever since Johto ended. All BW did was be honest about it because they couldn't get rid of him even though they wanted BW to be a reboot. The main reason why Iris is so hated is because she's essentially acting on the showrunners' behalf, and trying to point out the problems longtime viewers have had with Ash's character for years. And not like it mattered, anyways. Since Ash's so-called capabilities as a trainer weren't ever expected to achieve any payoff during BW, XY, or SM. Had Tomiyasu not stood up to Yuyama during SM's run, Ash would have lost during the Alola League, and started all over again in Galar, and the cycle would have kept repeating itself. Because there wasn't such an expectation, BW was only being completely honest about how absurd it is for a character like Ash to go on for so long and not win a championship title for 3 regions straight, and what a tired-out artifact of a protagonist he is as a result.

[@insecure8926]

@@LittleAl016 Nah, BW mistakes were worst. Like, use a move that he knows it doesn't work just because he forgot? Seriously... You can have your opinion of not liking Ash's trajectory, but that's it, opinion. Was it overdone? Probably, more than 20 season after all. But even then, Ash was growing over the regions, at least if you skip BW. XY was literally made to circumvent the "He's 10" quote, as he's supposed to act older, more skilled and knowledgeable, which he is. He can't face off against the champion of the region and even gave Alain, a Champion level rival, a run for his money. Even if you don't agree that his personality wasn't development, his skill as a trainer was. He lost badly in OG, got better ones in Johto and Hoenn, had to face Tobias to lose in Sinnoh and faced a Champion level rival, one that would eventually reach the Masters 8, in Kalos. He was getting better as a trainer for sure.

[@CartoonsEveryone]

Xy anime is actually when I fell out of the franchise. I knew there was something off about the show, but it wasn't until entering the second season of it, but before then I felt like a zombie watching the show. When it came to the episode talking about how the blonde nerd met his hideous bunny and when he protected it by jumping in the way of a Pokémon's attack, that's when I realized "this is absolutely stupid". Every other episode there's a character that jumps into a Pokémon attack to protect another and I'm thinking "how are they not dead yet?" And another thing I hated is how the animation is all in your face, choppy as hell and way too fast to appreciate anything about it. I don't know how anyone can enjoy the show, unless this was their first introduction to Pokémon anime and not know why the older shows are far more appreciated. And before some ignorant fool calls me a "gen oner", I didn't get into Pokémon until gen 3 and watched the Advanced series. Gen 1 to 4 were the best aspect of Pokémon, and staying consistent with the characters they write. Black and White shamefully pressed the reset button on Ash's character, xy tried to make up for it but sadly made Ash too perfect with allegedly zero flaws (despite the fact that he seems to enjoy pain), I couldn't get passed the first episode to sun/moon because it felt like it was made for people with adhd, and I'm not gonna bother with journeys, just an excuse to make a Pokémon Go anime. They should've just properly reboot the anime like they did with the video games back to when Black and White was released.

The XYZ team doesn't work at all without Bonnie. She's the glue and without her it'd be super awkward which isn't good. Also the XY team is definitely the worst in terms of personality IMO. They all have the personality of a brick.

[@ethansolorzano5989]

aside from pikachu and greninja, the only other pokemon that somewhat of arc was goodra and he released it halfway throught the anime. It also doesnt help that half of his team was just flying types. If i could fix it up i would have given him: PIKACHU: LOYAL COMPANION GRENINJA: THE STARTER HE ALWAYS GETS TALONFLAME: KEEP HIM AND HAVE HIM FIGHT MOLTRES LIKE HE DID BEFORE GOGOAT: GUYS BASICALLY A TANK AND HEALER AND HARD HITTER AEGISLASH: COULD HAVE BEEN A WHOLE THING WHERE HE FINDS TUTOLAGE AND TRAINING WITH WIKSTROM AND HE GIVES HIM A HONEDGE OR THE STONE TO EVOLVE IT TO AEGISLASH, MAYBE ASH HAS A TRAINING ARC BEFORE THE LEAGUE. GOODRA / NOIVERN - SAME STORY, BUT EITHER KEEP IT ON THE TEAM AND THE FINAL FEW EPISODES HE DECIDES TO LET GOODRA GO BACK AS A PROTECTOR OR GIVE NOIVERN A BETTER ARC BECAUSE LITERALLY IT ONLY HAD 4 FIGHTS BEFORE THE SHOW ENDED.

Saying the Genesect movie is the best part of the BW series is a very hot take. BW did have the mini tournament arcs with the Battle Clubs to help break up the pacing between gym battles, which allowed Ash’s friends and their rivals to be showcased in battle and you had a variety in who fought who and who won each tournament.

[@LittleAl016]

@@jbcatz5 And it's the wrong take.

[@jbcatz5]

@@LittleAl016 Hence the very hot take bit. It’s reviled by fandom, for the weak motivation and characterisation of the Genesect group (there’s the aggressive leader who suddenly has a change of heart in the climax and the one who wants to go home, the others just exist) and the Mewtwo isn’t the one from the first movie (although this is more due to rights around that particular Mewtwo).
