Certainly better than them looking like they used stock footage on a bunch of episodes especially by cutting away the actual backdrop for a fancy graphics one like they are trying to make it look more amazing with an attack that is literally just quick attack or razor leaf or even razor blade by sprouting absurdly large energy blade limbs. Never the less, I would rather more fights where a single move can be done in more creative actions then basic slash attack, basic charg’ing’ headlong attack, basic punch attack, basic energy ball or beam attack and more. Certainly just brings up one want to flaunt that gen 1-3’ness when the anime felt like it fit with its age, then look horribly bad and clearly had Ash on some ridiculous drugs to keep forgetting how to fight, asking the same questions and be an ‘eternal 10’year old who changed appearances due to animation differences (sun/moon arc especially) and many more gags that make you think Pokémon ‘anime’ works better when it’s shorts then actual full blown episodes.

My point is more towards the `Brock/partner` exposition moments and constantly reading dex entries. Maybe the Dubs made it seem more silly. But im very sure Satoshi/Ash had the same bug as Goku got when they went from Z to Super. Even if you exclude the dubs trying to make him seem like an ally of justice, he kind of went from a tactical `smart on the battlefield dood, to a retard who despite already had two kids, still was too dumb enough to know what sexual intercourse, as if his wife didnt even attempt to get him a basic education on many things. Which i would love if we 100% got actual episodes where Goku actually doing Taxes like that one fan-comic, which could be a perfect symbol of the character is clearly smart, he just doesnt like to `be` smart all the time and rather be happy go lucky. Granted, maybe im just enjoying more imperfect characters in fun ways that clearly has no care of definitions of Good/Evil`, they will clothsline princesses in video games, once they get an opp then continue to suffer the shite they put them thru. Moral of the story: Sunraku from Shangri-la Frontier is what i consider a fun character, who doesnt need to go thru a giant development block of multiple seasons. The guy basically is a gamer who plays garbage games and dealing with such b.s. gave him a knack for dealing with crazy systems, so soon as the story dropped him in a `god like game` like its sword art online, except less stupid, he clearly has a good `backstory` to justify him being better then a bunch of other players who just stand around and tank attacks or something. Man i got too much of a annoyance against games/shows these days that are more TALK then WALK about a character, even worst when the WALK they actually do is effectively the same damn thing for the most part even in a entirely different show from the same IP.@@DakotaWilson-uv5um

Agreed especially in the games, cause if i had to reference older games, i would kind of adore more stuff like how legends arceus had wild pokemon act where yeah, they can punch your shite in and likely Dark souls you out of losing precious items. Hell look up Jade cocoon 2 which was also a monster raising & fusing system but unlike the more popular IPs back in the playstation 2 era of gaming, it had fun systems like a RING combat system where you arranged multiple teams centered around 4 different elements that you would rotate for certain usages and more like elemental advantages, gimmick specific teams like buffs/debuffs & heals and more. A good `serious` play to that was making sure to have a sturdy frontline on each specific ring, cause if that ends up falling then like a yugioh TCG, you could be attacked directly, causing you to lose `shields` and could result in you getting taken out before the rest of your party went down. Its just that sweet fun when the lose or even win condition is more then just total military force destruction of the opposing party. Which even some other games i cant remember off the top of my head did a fun way to flaunt it like making the enemies get so scared of you being high level in combat, likely from one-shotting one of thar posse, they get stunned a turn or more or attempt to `start fleeing` and will run away if not taken out before the start of your next turn.@@SnowEspeon

We need to accept that the Pokemon series is over, and just like the name this new Pokemon series is a new horizon.

Battles were good Ash maximized the raw power of Greninja, but strategically fell short, he could’ve utilized better moves than HM Cut. Journeys needed high level strategies and battles because it’s literally the battle of the best trainers in the world not a mere regional tournament. Ash trained Naturally strong Pokemons and did not waste time dealing with emotional pokemon like he did in the past generations. I do agree with the flaw of the poor storyline, I don’t like the idea that the writers just randomly spawned regional champions in the masters 8, even Alain feels out of place, half of the masters 8 have 0 PWC battles. It’s better if one of Ash’ Rivals, Bea also made it to masters 8, erasing Raihan’s status as the World’s Strongest gym leader. Truly the good blend of Kalos and Galar Ash is Sinnoh Ash.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate. The team that made Guilty Crown took up X&Y and really changed the game of what was once considered standard for the show. They broke the mold and once the anime switched animation programs for Sun and Moon, the bar was topped again by a different team learning the tech. And again in Journeys as another perfected the new tools. And now, another team approaches Horizons with newfound skill. X&Y walked so Sun&Moon could run, Sun&Moon ran so Journeys could fly, and Journeys flew so Horizons could soar.

The Pokémon anime has always had its moments of amazing animation but it’s far and few in between I feel like we peaked during X and Y in every single aspect although a lot of the recent seasons have had a lot of great animation during some battles if only the artstyle was polished as it used to be never been a fan of the rounded out features in the later seasons after X and why

Gen 6 onward is when the animation properly stepped up. Though earlier series still got some good battles with choreography, and might be nostalgia but i still enjoy ash vs paul at lake acuity more than many of the battles in journeys regardless of animation. Though actual specific battle animation and not re use of attack animation with generic effect backgrounds is so nice. Honestly, and i havent seen many alola anime battles, i think XY had a good mix of animation and choreography, largely thinking if how froakie's bubbles were used and greninja skating in the 8th gym battle.

The animation quality peaked at XY&Z, I think. They really put extra effort to animate each battle sequences there, even got a behind the scene special for that. Since Sun & Moon, the quality has continued to decrease, due to the strained stress on the animators. 🤷🏻♂️ Also, they seemed to rely more on the cheaper Southeast Asia division (Philippines, if I'm not mistaken). And the quality was arguably lower than the Japanese division, who went on to focus on the movies instead.

you don't understand animation theory that's why you said SM was a decrease in quality from XYZ, critics (who unlike you, actually understands what they're talking about) says that Pokemon Sun&Moon is one of the best anime in 2017 in terms of animation quality and technique used. Since you are CLEARLY don't have the knowledge on this topic, go watch the canipa effect video where he breakdown sun&moon animation kzitem.info/news/bejne/kXiml5pucZF9ipwsi=Dc3l1s9Xty3JZyhc
