>>38306768>>38307353>>38307604>>38307589Here's my personal ranking.
DP = XY > AG > Kanto = Johto > BW > SM
Both DP and XY had good strong points overall compared to the other series while the two series have certain things better than the other. XY had better animation while DP had better rivals (ex. Paul), but both had great battles on par with one another. Ash's companions in these series were great, not perfect, but great and enjoyable to have around. Though there are a few negatives I will point out, and we will start with Serena. Even though I like her and am a fan of Amour, compared to Dawn she didn't have too much development other than her performer episodes, when she cut her hair, and when she kissed Ash at the final. Dawn on the other hand had better development, had a bit more time to shine and just generally did more things than Serena did. Brock, Clemont and Bonnie were all pretty good themselves. Also despite what most people think, Tobias out of nowhere was more stupid than Alain could ever hope to be. Both series also had great villain teams with leaders who wanted to practically kill everyone only for them to die themselves, but I think Team Flare edges Team Galactic out by a little due to actually being practically the finale to the XY and XYZ series where every other series has the evil team defeated before the eighth gym or league. That had always annoyed me for some reason
AG was pretty fun for the most part, and also did have some good battles with Ash being able to overcoming the battle frontier and taking down a few legendaries during it all. He had a good group even if Max was somewhat annoying through it all, but overall a good series to watch.
As for Kanto and Johto, or simply grouped them together as OS, they were okay. Misty was a little annoying but that can be easily looked over. They were fun, not too serious but didn't try to go so far to make a joke, and there were some decent battles. So they're fine.
(1/2)
