[Watching the subbed version.]
So yeah, this is Pokemon...and the reason you love it? Mouse with red cheeks? Cute looking creatures? Well that is the reason why pretty much most people got attracted to Pokemon GO and now it's dying. But seriously, I am not going to weep over the art style like the entire Internet. This is a legit non-salty review so give it all the hate you want.
Story
Oh, there is a story? Despite removing the gyms and making something more complicated like trials? Well that is a pretty stupid reason. There is little to no plot in this entire thing except fillers and more
...
random and stupid little things that no one literally cares about. This is a very cheeky strategy, to make their viewers watch a hell load of stuff and then fill them with hype for an "epic battle". (Since the very beginning, but atleast the old fillers were bearable and fun to watch)
Art
I have nothing to say since you people are smart enough to figure it out. Remember how people were crying on Facebook and telling everyone to boycott Pokemon? Yeah, you should get an idea.
Sound
Nothing to say here either. I guess the OP and ED is good for kids below 13 but there's literally nothing I can do if you like it because it is kiddish and all that. But trust me I am not judging anyone.
Character
Ash
Completely dumped down to the very midst of nothingness. Well it was a stupid decision to send him to school and seeing his maturity get crushed is okay and all that but not at this level. Remember the "fun" we had watching Misty, May, Dawn and Iris fight with Ash? Yeah, it's nothing at that level.
Mallow
Interesting character, For the least I would say she's okay and she knows what she is doing. Most people think that she likes ash and all that stuff so they have started shipping. (That reminds me Amourshipping is dead.)
Lillie
My favorite character due to various reasons. I thought she was a tsundere but bad luck fell upon me with the release of the game. It wasn't what I expected. She's related to a major plot point so I would avoid any further discussion about her.
Lana
Seriously too cute. I would say the second reason why I keep watching S&M but yeah, she's a kuudere I guess? Not sure what to say but she's the silent type. And she's flat..
Kiawe
The only character who has a serious attitude. He is cool and he knows the stuff he is doing so he was the first "serious" character I guess?
Enjoyment
It has some funny moments but mostly the jokes are not that funny for an adult but it might be sufficient enough to make a kid laugh. (below 13)
I seriously would have give the enjoyment a 1 rating but there were some parts that would appeal to the younger audience so I let it slide.
Conclusion
Maybe they are trying to oblige the new fans by showing them something new but seriously they never think once about their older audience and we are just overlooked because we turned old. (Just an empty assumption) Well whatever the case may be Reverse Psychology can be a real pain.
If you're looking for nostalgia then you should probably wait for the 20th Movie because the animations look promising somewhat but I wouldn't pre-hype if I were you.
Please think twice before reporting my review. Not hate but my personal opinion.
