What are your thoughts on Ash's journey so far?

Not good thoughts. I am just wishing that Ash would go away already so we can make room for the new characters.

It was a good run, but it went for far too long. It was about time he left to make space for someone new. I just wish the new anime had been a more straightforward adaptation of the games instead of a freeform Pokémon anime, though. There are so many characters we haven't seen in animated form yet!

...the only downside is that we likely wouldn't have gotten Prof. Friede, and the thought of no Prof. Friede makes my day a tad greyer. Nevermind, keep it freeform so I can finally get to see him and his precious Captain Pikachu in mid-April. 😊

I also think after Kalos they should have ended Ash's Journey and let him win there instead of Alola. I know people defend Ash's Championship win in Alola, but it was such a terrible way to let him win. It was like they realized he should have won in XY so they made the weakest possible tournament. Yeah his battle between Galdieon and Kukui were great, but he should have never gotten there. Hau should have won and they only reason he didn't, was because they allowed Rowlet to wake up which goes completely against the rules of a Pokemon Battle in the anime.

Don't get me wrong, I love that Ash battled and beat actual Champions in Journey, but Alola just sat very wrong with me.

I am also annoyed that they went to freeform anime and aren't even having a time skip. It didn't even have to be linked to Ash, but man... after all these years of us wanting Ash to age and they still didn't age him is annoying. I wanted a manga and maybe after what the woman from Netflix said about manga and stuff, maybe we will finally get a Manga adaption in the future.

What did you think of Ash's companions on Ash's journey? (Brock, Iris, Cilan, Max/May, Tracey, Dawn, Goh and/or Misty)? Did you think that any of Ash's Pokemon that he met on his journey will return (Pidgeot, Lapras, Primeape and/or the few dozen Tauroses)? What of Pikachu's fate?

I stopped at 4th season. Most thought henceforth the anime is a milking cow. The contents were random and no original. However, It remained a good watch for little children.
I hink Ash should´ve developed more on many social levels (love life, weaknsses, aging factor, etc.), and script writers should´ve decentralized protagonists in-early anime. Ash´s journey was positive one overall and impacted may rea and fictional individuals.
