BW and SM are two series that are generally hated in the fandom, in part mostly because they come after two beloved series and many complain that Ash felt like he had a "regression" in his character, right now I'm still on BW for my anipoke binge, but I haven't that much of SM so I can't come up with my own opinion yet. So I was wondering if you prefer either of the two with pros and cons for each.
