>>51677625The saddest part is that they didn’t even do a good job being a nostalgia wankfest, Dawn barely did fuck all most of the time she showed up, Gengar was a wasted opportunity as it could have been a bring back Haunter from the og series to tie with a Sabrina return episode but instead is charizard 4.0 in terms of backstory, May and Max are nonexistent, no Pyrimid king brandon return which would have made a ton of sense bringing back for the regi stuff in the crown tundra, Suicune was treated like shit, Ash’s alola champion title barely meant anything (which you’d think would be brought up in the masters 8 but nope it was completely thrown aside) and Wallace was treated as a joke. The worst part is Ash literally used fuck all of his old Pokémon which the PM19 format was literally the perfect format to use his roster and his current team has to be the most bland and uninteresting roster he ever put together with Lucario being the only one aside from Pikachu’s that’s actually worth a damn. Frankly for a celebration of the animes history Journeys is an utter failure in my eyes
