Is Best Wishes the worst series or is that reputation unwarranted?

I'll admit I largely skipped BW. Should I give it another chance? Why or why not? I loved DP. When I remove the nostalgia blinders, I believe DP was the best series as a serious anime. I love XY as well because I also feel it's a serious anime.

If you like serious Pokemon Anime then BW probably isn't the anime for you. It's a hard reset that makes Ash incompetent in battles. At least he has a personality outside of battles though if that interests you.

I felt like BW didn't have a lot to offer compared to the others. I mean, there were nice animations and some cool battles, but that's it. The characters were the same and reused from before, except for Iris, but unfortunately she was incredibly annoying.

XYZ had a lot of growth... BW was just... a reset. That's it. And then the reset was kind of ignored later?
