>>57191681I hated the journey through Sinnoh, the formula was already exhausted by that time, but I really enjoyed Ash and Paul's rivalry and Dawn's growth arc, honestly and objectively I think it was the best season.
Now personally my favorite season was SM, it's not a good series, but I liked the relaxed tone and the characters who finally felt like children having fun, I think the franchise has lost some of that innocent charm. And the finale is just perfect, I wouldn't have complained if the series ended here.
