(MINOR SPOILERS)
This is a story,about Ash's journey in Kalos.
First off,I don't recommend this be the first Pokemon series you watch,as it will set your standards high.It is a must watch though.
Second,I watched this in eng dub,so some names I use might be different from yours.
Story (8)
This is the highest rated Pokemon Arc,
and for good reason.
...
Let's talk about the weird pacing of this series.
I felt the Team Flare taking over the world thing was a bit too rushed.We didn't see them often.I wished they had used the useless filler episodes to build up Team Flare even more.
Still,I loved the final few episodes,when Team Flare took over Lumoise City.I was crying genuine tear when Bonnie sang to Squishy,or well,Zygarde.
Why did I still rate it an 8 then?Bad filler and unbuilt villian team,shouldn't it be a 5 or 6?
This is because,
I like adventure.I like travelling.
Pokemon fits this well.
I just love seeing Ash and his companions on a journey.Meeting new people and Pokemon,discovering even more!Build their friendship,fight evil,I just love any anime with journeys!
I often fantasize,what would I do,if I was isekaid into this world?(God please answer my prayers)
It is on my mind all the time,which made this series unforgettable for me.
Art (8)
The top grossing franchise of all time,of course they have enough budget.
I like the art style,animation is great.
Sound (10)
One of the best Pokemon openings,very different from the previous ones.
Character (6)
Uh...Can we skip this part?
...
No?Alright then.
Let's talk about the underwhelming characters.
Ash/Satoshi
Our forever 10 years old boy.
He was mature in this series,he was strong,and put up a good fight against Alain.
I loved Greninja's growth from a Froakie,bring em back!
But other than that,nothing much to say.
Just that stereotypical kind and energetic protagonist.
Serena
She went through the most growth.
At the start of the series,she was just some goalless girl,trying to escape from her Rhyhorn training.But as the series goes,she grows too.She finds a passion,a goal.She makes friends,she learns a lot more about Pokemon.She shouldn't have lost that Pokemon showcase master class.I loved her performance.
But,I think she deserved better.
She is the third female protagonist to be a pokemon performer.
THIRD.
(To clarify,I absolutely loved her performance.I thought it was a great moment for her and it was astonishing)
But couldn't the writers give her some other goal?There are many other feminine goals,like fashion designer,or a Pokemon groomer.I could totally see Serena as one,since she already shows some interests in it.
Still waiting for a strong female protagonist that has the same goals as Ash.Would be a great rival and friend!
Overall,I still absolutely love it.If you are a Pokefan and aren't watching this,you are missing out on something in life.
