Pokémon Journeys: THE FINAL REVIEW.

Pokemon Journeys was truly the Pokemon anime saga of all time

It's kinda sad when one of the best episode in Journeys is the conclusion to Lillie's story from Sun and Moon. That is a 10 out of 10 episode.

I think chloe had a good potential but they wasted it. My biggest problem with her is her relationship with Ash. Chloe have referered him as a friend multiple times but they never interact or talk. Its always akward when theyre together

Journey's not that bad, but for Ash's last adventure, it's definitely very disappointing that we didn't get stuff like Ash rematching the trainers that defeated him in the league, or the run back against those trainers including champions like Cynthia with past pokemon like Infernape and Greninja. We could've had the ultimate Ash team every fan has battle board and dreamt up from their childhood.

Like Zac said: It's not about the destination, it's about the journey...a journey that nearly became a LOST CAUSE if it weren't for the positives countering the negatives.

I can never forgive them for giving us little to none of Serena, May and Max

25 years and almost a thousand Pokémon later, the final climatic battle still came down to Game Freak's golden boys, Pikachu and Charizard..

Journeys was definitely a wild ride. It had a lot of missed opportunities like Ash not bringing back older mons to interact with his Journeys team more often, wrapping up loose ends, focusing on Galar, or development to bring characters' arcs to a satisfactory conclusion. I'm not going to lie, a lot of the series just didn't work out well because they didn't take full advantage of the around the world concept and didn't plan ahead to flesh out plotlines like Chloe's, Project Mew, or Ash's early PWC run. Instead we got stuff like...blue pokemaniacs. But for what it was, it celebrated so much of the anime's history by bringing back a lot of older characters we wouldn't have ever gotten to see otherwise! Without it, we might have never gotten to see PEAK with Ash vs Leon in the biggest battle we've ever seen in the entire anime Journeys is a series about appreciating how we get to our destination - from the smaller things in life like spending time with your friends to support them to the trials and tribulations we go through until we finally climb our way to the top. Not all of it is good, and we'll fail sometimes, but that's what makes success even sweeter when we finally attain it.

I honestly think these five points could have made journeys GREAT 1. Introduce project mew since the start 2. Have goh catch less pokemon, and have those pokemon be somewhat developed. He needed a solid six pokemon team (Cinderace, Intellion, Grookey, Scizor, Flygon and Golurk) 3. Team Rocket should have had an arc in the show where they wanted to quit team rocket and have Ash and Goh help them fight back against Giovanni 4. Have Goh research his Pokémon more in the park, thus adding more to his character while focused episodes on the Pokémon he has in the park. This is the best opportunity to explore the craziest dex entries from the games in the anime. 5. Have Goh have fewer instances of random catching of multiple Pokémon during any episode, and have focused episodes where he forms an emotional bond before catching or spends the episode to battle before catching. He does have these episodes (Flygon, Cubone, Sobble and absol)

The time has come.

Journeys deserves major credit for making people actually like Iris. That's not something to scoff at when you consider how many people hated her before that

"The destination wouldn't matter if the journey didn't happen." So for all the big W's and L's the series or the anime as a whole had, they deserve to be worth remembering by...

“A new one on the horizon” I see what you did there Zac

I honestly feel like Chloe was a lost cause from the start,because if she didn’t become a researcher like her dad and became a performer people would still be unhappy with that cause of how often it happens to pokegirls.and I also feel that battling would not really fit her

What I hoped would happen in Aim to be a Pokémon master is that Giovani would have Team Rocket (All of them, not just the trio) attack Oak's lab and try to steal all of Ash's pokemon. Since Ash is now the world champion Giovani would see profit in his Pokemon. Then they would be able to steal some of them, and kidnap Ash it the process and take him to their HQ. And who knows, maybe all of that would make the Jessie, James and Meowth have a change of heart and finally turn on Team Rocket and help and rescue his pokemon.

I hate how they screwed up Mewtwo. They could've have a two parter where the first part is the adventure to him, then part 2 can be a full 20 minute battle.

Pokemon Journeys was very mixed series but for me I manage to enjoy it when it was good. Goodbye to Ash and Pickchu ❤ Hope to see you again someday!

Even tho Journey's has some ups and downs, I like the series yeah I know it weird overall but it's sad to know that this is Ash and Pikachu last time in the anime. Thank you Ash and Pikachu for everything!

A while back I got to meet Jason Griffith and he he said recording these last couple of episodes was kinda emotional because of it being the last time he’ll get to voice Cilan.

jn had so much room to be the best series. sucks it couldnt be more than it is. i feel like it started getting better a quarter in the series and his pokemon started getting major development.
