I finished watching the Pokemon Master Journeys recently and it was great. It's a bit different from the previous Pokemon anime because Ash and his friends travel to various regions instead of just Galar, so the episodes are exciting and fresh. I also really like his friend Go because he managed to catch a Suicune and is very enthusiastic about capturing Pokemon. The third season known as Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series is coming soon to Netflix and I look forward to it.
I've watched some of the recent Pokemon seasons and I really didn't like the XY series. I admired Serena's character development, but the XYZ was focused way too much on Greninja. Like Ash used his Greninja in almost every battle and in the Kalos League and it got tiring. His Greninja also took away attention from the rest of his Pokemon, including his Pikachu. In addition, it was so corny how Ash's Froakie was considered "the chosen one", and his Goodra had a much deeper backstory than Greninja. Goodra was first kicked out of his homeland as a Goomy, and when he trained with Ash and became a powerful Goodra, he learned to stand up for himself and protect his homeland in order to defend his friends. It was a powerful message to the kids, and I wanted the rest of his team to receive some focus as well. I also didn't really like how Ash-Greninja was available in the games. I'm glad that Greninja wasn't included in the Gen 8 games, it's because I got sick of seeing it everywhere.
The Sun and Moon series was a lot better though. Ash goes through the Island Trials in Alola with his friends Lana, Mallow, Lillie, Sophocles, and Kiawe, each one having vibrant and expressive personalities like in the games. Another thing I liked was that Brock and Misty make a return in the anime. Also, I like that Ash managed to gain his victory at the Alola League and won with his Incineroar. And the Sun and Moon: Ultra Legends series was compelling because of the Ultra Guardian missions that Ash and his classmates went on.
Anyways, I prefer the Pokemon manga over the anime, mainly because the anime gets repetitive at times. Like in a typical anime episode, Ash typically goes on a journey with his friends and Team Rocket shows up to cause trouble. The Pokemon Adventures manga is a bit different though because it's darker and the main characters often use their own legendary Pokemon in battle. There are even wild Pokemon who attack humans and the battles are very exciting at times. Plus, the main characters are really fleshed out and have lots of personality.
Oh, and there's a new season called Pokemon: The Arceus Chronicles coming soon, and it's similar to the PL:Arceus game. Can't wait to watch it.
thank you for the information
