Now Ash is not the center of attention 24/7, there are tons of activities with pokemon that are not focused on the battles (Car Racing, Sports, Dance, Swimming, Art), it is also fun to see Ash behaving according to his age , and better after years he has been given a real family and friends with whom to interact, not the endless cycle of guide and poke-girl of the season.
Many may be angry that last season Pokemon tried to fit into the genre Shonen, a genre that are more accustomed to see the general public, but the pokemon anime being a gigantic commercial for children's merchandise does not work well in that genre, the Kodomo comedy formula works best, with autoconclusive episodes and occasionally a short arc. Yes, I know that / vp / is full of intelactualoids and mature people who do not have the patience to appreciate this type of anime, but I find it entertaining and thankful every time the staff gives us little gems like cameos, parodies or moments of serious themes like the death of Stouland.
Well I think that's where my autism goes, criticize me, but it feels strange to be one of the few who still enjoys happy stories with silly characters.
