>Cilan was too similar in role to Brock, but I liked that he had a very different relationship with the other two
>I was expecting BW Ash to be stupid from everything I heard, but caught off-guard by the fact that he really only has stupid moments occasionally (and he really likes throwing himself into danger this gen)
>all of the rivals were great, except Trip and Cameron
>the league was garbage outside of the Stephan fight
>Episode N was okay. Not amazing, but not offensively bad
>filler islands were hit-or-miss from what I saw of them
>the Victini movie was the worst movie in the entire franchise. The other two were better, but kind of pointless. Points for neither of them really following the cookie cutter Pokemon movie plots, though
>the main cast's Pokemon were the strongest thing about the season, even though they were awful in battle. I really wanted more episodes of them just screwing around.
>the humor was really on-point, for the most part
Overall I went in expecting shit and was surprised by how much I liked it. The last stretch was weak compared to the first hundred episodes, but I wouldn't call it "bad" outside of the mess of the league. I'd rank it below Sinnoh and OS, but above Johto and Hoenn (mainly because the later two were so damn inconsistent with their quality).
