A bit of a blogpost incoming:
>I've been binging the new series for the past couple of weeks
>just got to the part where Satoshi finished his meteoric ascent through the ranks by beating E4-level characters left and right
>It's been entertaining enough so far
>even though I don't care much about Project Mew I think the Gou/Goh and SOL episodes are fun
>except the Koharu-focused episodes, those feel like they serve no narrative purpose other than to shill Eevee in such a way that watching paint dry sounds exciting in comparison
>one other thing I absolutely hated was that the writers decided to waste a lot of time by building up this artificial rivalry between Ash and Saitou/Bea
>They even dragged my cute wife into that mess by designating her as a jobber to hype up the brown fetishbait girl
>even though it makes the power scaling of her Mega Lucario (and Pikachu by extension) absolutely fucked in the process and does Corni/Korrina herself a huge disservice
>after Ash finally overcame Saitou, he flew past her level so fast it almost gave me whiplash and made that whole struggle seem pointless
>Kalos E4 showing up was nice and I look forward to the Alola comeback and Paul episodes
>Raihan is cool, too bad he's destined to play second fiddle to Leon forever
Hopefully by the time of Daigo/Steven vs Ash I'm all caught up so I can funpost and shitpost with you guys.
>TL;DR: Journeys good, Koharu and Saitou bad, hopefully Ash won't job this time around
