I dunno about you, but recently I've been seeing a good amount of "hate" towards it in between all the Journeys controversy, and I wanna know why. I'm far from an avid anime fan, but to me at least, the main appeal of the anime is seeing the world of Pokemon in a living, breathing, environment and I don't think any series really captures this better than the slice of life style of SM. You really get to experience life for the people of Alola firsthand and it's just so cool, and fun, and wholesome that this is the only series I've consistently followed.
The one reason I see that continuously keeps popping up is that it undid a lot of Ash's development à la BW, which is why a lot of people dislike that series. (Though of course as the Media Cycle goes, I've been seeing a lot fewer people holding this opinion and more people saying it's better than people say, but I digress.) Despite me not being that invested in the anime and therefore Ash as a character, I still vehemently disagree with this. He's shown to be just as, if not more, capable of a battler than he is in the other series. This is literally the first time he actually won a League. People say he's a lot more childish of a character outside of battle, but... no? Knowing to take things slow and have fun is a lot more mature, I would say. And he knows when to take things seriously as shown in the Mother Beast and Necrozma arcs, I think.
Anyway, thanks for listening to the ramblings of someone who's not an anime fan about the anime who only really wrote this because an anime compilation channel on YouTube he watched a few videos of posted an unfunny meme about the SM anime being bad in their Community tab that someone popped up on his Recommended.
