I relate to this so much Eevee is supposed to be for both genders but they marketed towards girls, and for that stupid reason they genderlocked Eevee in PMD eos Espeon or Leafeon are the best candidates for Ash imo, they had almost zero screen time in the anime and only some cameos

Honestly, Chloe was the perfect opportunity to explore a completely new idea for a Pokegirl. Have Chloe be the one challenging Galar's Gyms. She has the most 'Pikachu' partner in Eevee (which could have been a G-Max Eevee). Her inspiration could have been Ash, who is at his peak in this season and she could explore what she wants to do in life from the Galar Gym Leaders. It would also let all the Galar Gym Leaders appear in Journeys.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

The worst part is that they had the opportunity to do more with her character: the filler episodes could've been used to create more chances to flesh her out, or at the very least give her more things to do, with or without Ash and Goh, so that she could've at least had more of a chance to shine. It's too bad, too, because she was very underutilized in the series, and Goh's character arc didn't really achieve much of anything particularly meaningful, especially for a character that was meant to be a secondary protagonist. It's because of this that I feel that Goh was arguably handled worse than Chloe: as one of two protagonists, people were at least somewhat invested in seeing Goh succeed on some level, which is why I think was partly why he became as disliked as he was. Chloe, on the other hand, didn't have the same kind of expectations because her presence wasn't felt to nearly the same degree as with Ash and Goh, leaving her feel like she was just kinda-sorta there; but despite that, I actually do think that the way she concluded her character arc was surprisingly satisfactory. What I'm getting at is that she was given her Eevee to try to figure out why it couldn't evolve, and while that was never revealed, it does lean into her eventually deciding to become a Pokemon researcher, which, in turn, may explain her initial dislike of Pokemon: I think that the reason for her not liking Pokemon is partly because she resents her father for putting more time into his research than paying attention to her, causing her to crave love and affection from the parent she feels she's not getting it from. This, in turn, leads to her taking up Pokemon research as a way to better connect with her father; I know this is more of a fan theory than anything, but I do think it provides some much-needed context as to why Chloe is the way she is for most of the series

[@natalimoina]

She didn't. She needed more intelligence from the fandom

[@Ben-td3wi]

The fact that we saw her get to know every Eeveelution and wondered what she would evolve Eevee into at the end of the series only for her to keep it as an Eevee in the end felt like a knife to the heart. I get that it might be realistic but it still makes it feel like everything she went through was a waste of time. What a completely pointless character.

[@shannongrummisch8881]

Missed opportunity to not have Chloe’s eevee be a gigantamax eevee. After all, her whole gimmick was that she was unable to evolve so it would have been a cool concept to have it be revealed that the reason she couldn’t evolve was because she was a G max eevee.

Mallow wasn't really into battling, but she had the goal of making her family's restaurant the best it can be.

Just seeing ash save the garchomp in lumiose (I think that's when she saw him?) gave her a bit of confidence to be like "I'm setting off!". She was very unhappy about her mom wanting her to be a rhyhorn racer, so even without ash she might've set off anyways. Besides it's not like she disliked battles. She just didn't know what to do after getting Fennekin, and it just so happened, that when she realized, she just wanted to be a performer. Personally, while I really like Serena as a character and I like her contest arc (minus the crush on ash b plot, it's uhh...) I think she should have been a battle focused trainer as well, cause at the time she was the 3rd pokegal doing contests. As for the argument later - just because she likes baking, it doesn't mean she has to become a top baker or something. It's just a little side hobby she likes, just like clemont preparing food for everyone. (Yet he doesn't want to be a chef, of course. Because his main thing is inventing and being the lumiose gym leader.)

The sad part about Chloe is that I actually found her story to be more interesting than Goh. Because of how much pressure she faced about her peers thinking that she'll be a Pokemon professor like her dad, she becomes repellent of Pokemon and people who are crazy about Pokemon like Goh and especially Ash. Like during their first meeting after Yamper shocked him, she doesn't even bother checking to see if he's ok, just ignores him and moves on. While I'm glad she's become less repellent about Ash and Pokemon and even managed to get her own pokemon, but as time went on and they fail to give her more pokemon and she only is motivated to find more eeveelutions, she feels less like a character and more of a plot device to show off all the eevee evolutions. And even her own focused episodes it feels like the side characters get more focus than her, especially during her climax with her own dad. And the worst part, at the end of it she becomes the new research fellow after Goh and Ash leaves and tries to follow her dad's footsteps. THE VERY THING SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DO!

Honestly. Journeys is basically the BWBA of Pokémon. Both Big World Big Adventures and Journeys tried to have the main character (Thomas the Tank Engine for BWBA, and Ash and Goh for Journeys) traveling the world. And both are underwhelming and pretty bad. Journeys did nothing with the new content and basically clung onto nostalgia, Kanto and Filler for most of its run. BWBA did the opposite, ditching the roots of the show (Edward and Henry being kicked from the main cast, Realism being a mess.) in favor of newer flashier things. Thing is I actually can tolerate BWBA. Journeys on the other hand frustrates me with how it’s the GEN 8 ANIME AND IT DID BASICALLY NOTHING WITH GEN 8. We got the bare minimum for Gen 8 in the Gen 8 anime, with an arc for Sword and Shield, a special for BDSP, and a special for Legends Arceus, as well as the Galar Starters. But most of the Galar stuff was ignored, heck we don’t even have the Galar Starters together at the same time outside of “the world of Pokémon” Segments, something that has never happened before or since in the anime. Journeys just makes me angry.

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

[@pikachuthebananasplit9061]

I know and then all these new episodes try and give Nia and Rebecca as much screentime as possible while Edward and Henry just fade away in the background! It's very clear some of the episode plots feel very rushed since season 21 only had 18 episodes instead of the usual 26. It's obvious they wanted to get season 21 out of the way so they could roll BWBA into the market!

2:31 Yeah, honestly, I would've just bitten the bullet and let her join. Would've helped to get rid of a LOT of unneeded filler. To give an example on how it could've been avoided: I've made small progress on a document of a Pokemon Journeys rewrite, might take some points from your video to help with that so thanks in advance. In it, Chloe ends up joining Ash around the time Ash battles with Korrina in Journeys. She doesn't even need to be around all the time, just slightly often! I also took the liberty in it so far, to put the episode where Chloe catches Eevee, before Ash even catches Dragonite (altering things drastically to fit the story). It her mostly has her join early on to give her more flexibility with screen time, and avoid unnecessary filler, and also change some things to make her unique, like maybe a mental disability!

[@aureliamastergoomba1278]

5:38 I got the lazy answer: G-Max Eevee :3

[@stevenpip7339]

Gigantamax Eevee. That's the solution.

[@seineevee]

The thing that frustrates me is that Chloe could’ve been soooo good. If she was a more frequent companion to Ash and Goh and more clearly shown to have a fear of change, it could’ve made her story with Eevee not evolving an interesting allegory for not wanting to grow up and being unsure or afraid to commit to a certain path in life. Maybe she’s even hesitant to catch Eevee because she’s so used to being around Yamper. She could’ve paralleled Goh and his drive to go into the world and achieve impossible goals with her almost pessimistic realism, and act as a “straight man” comedically to Ash’s brighter side and Goh’s shenanigans. And that’s not even mentioning how they could’ve rewritten Goh and her dynamic, or given a deeper dynamic to her and Ash, since they barely interact. If it weren’t for her being in the Journeys intro, you’d think she was a side character as important as the rest of her family, not a secondary protagonist! GOH IS MORE OF A POKEGIRL THAN HER (which that’s getting into an opposite problem), and HE’S NOT A GIRL (and also very bland). Cut her out and you don’t miss much in the current iteration of Journeys; but develop her, and she arguably could’ve been one of the best.

Her character would have been a great way to bring back old characters: Literally could have just brought back Virgil for every eeveelution at once Or Anabel - Espeon Gladion - Umbreon Serena - Sylveon Zoey - Leafeon I would say May for Glaceon, but her voice actor couldn't return, so I respect the decision to just give her a cameo. If the original trio maybe the Eevee brothers? Volkner - Jolteon Flint - Flareon (he has one in the games, and it would've been cool since he is an elite four) Alima could have showcased the eevee z move. I personally think Chloes eevee should have gotten to Gigantimax. That would've made it special. So many missed opportunities

[@_simplylink_]

Ironically I love Chloe as a character because was absolutely the most relatable to me and her being just an ordinary girl with no interest in Pokémon because it was so normal to have them around felt like something that the anime didn't really have a true character for. It just sucks, I haven't finished journeys but now I know that her story doesn't really go anywhere seeing as even her performance arc doesn't go anywhere and we just regress and go against the whole point of her arc to not follow her father's footsteps. I always thought her eevee couldn't evolve because it was suppose to gigantamax at some point but apparently that didn't happen either which is really disappointing, honestly I love her journey of trying to find your path as a concept and eevee not evolving felt unique to me because they're going through the journey together of not knowing what they wanna do and be. We'll I'll still finish journeys, but really disappointed to hear she was wasted potential I enjoyed her focus episodes, at least I know Serena makes a comeback she's my favorite pokegirl

[@LaffyTaffy04]

Honestly, I would play into the fact that it can't evolve and let it be a representative of the Let's Go Eevee. She could be mentored by an Eevee specialist to use the special moves from those games like Glitzy Glow and Bouncy Bubble. Also, I'd have Chloe find her place in Max Raids, not as an offensive specialist, but support, focusing on helping others calm the Dynamaxed pokemon down. It's weird how this show did Galar's storyline, but I don't remember them doing Max Raids.

[@Austruches]

Chloe with a Eevee is boring. It could have been cool if Eevee got a new evolution. Like Serena had a Eevee that evolved in the new evolution: Sylveon making her a non- boring Eevee trainer (+ all the character development she had). Chloe doesn’t have this advantage and has the problem of being the like fourth poke girl to have a Eevee…..she was very boring that I don’t remember if she had gmax Eevee, it would have been better! She suffered from lack of character development that yea…….kinda ruined it

[@Draconicdisciple]

I think a problem with choosing Espeon is if the only reason why you can feel relaxed about not knowing what your future holds is due to your Pokemon being able to know it for you, ultimately that's knowing what your future holds in a sense. You can take comfort in that your future is known to someone or something. That kind of comfort needs to come without having a clear sign that you can know the future or you will always be dependent on that clear sign, it'll be a crutch.
