>>53571734I personally loved the PM stuff. Well, the finale sucked massive Mudbray balls, but other than that, I enjoyed the missions and Goh's character growth that came from them. I really wanted more PM missions, more Goh competing against rivals, and honestly, I would've loved a mini "depression arc" for Goh, where after he fails a couple PM missions, he starts to think it's hopeless and that he'll never be good enough to get into PM, or even see Mew again. I think it would've been a great way to further explore Goh's character, his insecurities and issues, as well as his bond with his Pokemon and his friendship with Ash and Koharu.
But I'm also entirely with you on the Goh/Ash adventure stuff. Early to mid PM19 is really comfy and fun, and how I wish we would've had more of that.
