So the dub is only several episodes (I watch the dub because I'm unfamiliar with any of the Japanese names the subs have) in but I heard this arc is horrible.

>Comes right after the rushed Unova League in which Ash loses to Cameron, a complete moron
>N never has an antagonistic role
>Team Plasma has their moral ambiguity, what made them defining in the games, removed and are now generic villains
>Though Charizard returns, he's made useless, bad fights, no plot relevance, doesn't fight Reshiram, and is only here to trick older viewers into watching this
>Team Plasma becomes a joke, going from legitimate thread to having Meowth defeat a group of Liepard and Jesse and James beating up the foot soldiers
>Is followed by Decolora Islands, which is Orange Islands/Battle Frontier only without a pseudo League to tie it together, meaning it's nothing but pointless island hopping meant to pad the rest of Best Wishes out until Gen 6 comes out.

Makes me wonder how it would have been if the first episodes with Plasma weren't aborted due to the 2011 quake and the arc actually happened before the League instead of being replaced by Team Rocket, speaking of whom, were they reduced to comic relief again?

What are your thoughts on it?
