>JourneysArtstylefags and chillfags came to the agreement that the overwork on Ash was better, but gets ruined by the shorts.
Half of the first Season was either remaster of OS Episodes with Goh, or just Galar content to promote SW.
No Buildup in any way with the Zacian and Zamazenta arcs, feeling even more lackluster than the Team Flare attack after the Kalos League.
Koharu is literally just there and doesn't know of what to aim for in over 100 episodes, instead either gets shilled with Yuri-action with Dawn, wholesome stuff with Goh and Ash, or travels around the world for the eevee forms, just for her to either never evolve like Illima's or gets used as a new eeveelution for SV.
Hype were carried by returns of old characters and pokemons, peak-excitement for Goh was the Project-Progression, the insta-capture of Suicine, for Koharu to meet Dawn and Serena.
And Ash's battles with E4 or likewise trainers are creating double that hype.
Most activity of the JN-Era alongside Dawn's return was with the leaks from Episode 105 the beginning of April, got heated up once Animedia threatened with Legal Actions and undirectly confirming the leak.
Probably the most discussed episode besides the return of Gary and the first time dawn appeared.
Serena's return only then got overshadowed by Greninja's return last Friday.
Fucking wow, is JN either half-hyped due to the promise of returning travel companions or because Ash will finally reach an title akin to his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master?
And when they are continuing it with SV, will they PLEASE give him regular pants?
