I voted Takeshi because he's a legend and I like him being the mature voice of the group, although here I'm probably biased by the nostalgia. The other boys were fine. Special mentions for Dento (I've really enjoyed his tasting times) and Clemont (because the future is now thanks to science).

I like everyone of them as Satoshi's companions and Pokégirls by their own merits, but my vote is for Lillie simply because her plot and her friendship with the boy is what I've enjoyed the most in a certain moment of my life. Although Hikari has also a meaningful and enjoyable development, Iris...

I don't really care about Liko being or not a battler, honestly. A female battler would be nice, but as I've once said, this series is focusing less on battles in general.

For Liko, who knows. If writers choose to make her Satosere's daughter (Arceus forbids), clearly her popularity would rise. But the right thing would be to give her a meaningful plot, an adventure her audience want to follow. Hopefully, with this reboot and untied to the old formula, writers...

Yeah. You may justify Goh capturing Suicune because of being badly hurt, but it still makes you wonder why writers never gave Satoshi the opportunity to catch and tame a legendary and instead give tons of easy catches and even legendaries to the new boy. It feels kinda unfair.

Really there were people believing characters would catch these animals? Lol.

To have an actual plotline for these three years, and not to change it every quarter or if this season receives harsh criticism (based in "no Satoshi"). Please not another Gohry Stu / Mary Sue. Characters should learn and grow because of their travel. Most shippings, as a mind novel of the...

Alola episodes. Koharu episodes. Prior companions returning, battling and cheering. (The way writers handled Serena's was 10/10.) The last episodes of M8 semifinals and finals. Satoshi and PikaGOD winning the PWC.

Gohry Stu. Regional trips lasting one episode and to unrepresentative settings. (At least writers fixed that later.) PWC overall poorly executed. Production issues in the last year. That Team Rocket gatcha.

Because of the plot.

Suicune was the first and the saltiest, iirc. I wasn't watching the anime that time, but saw a lot of controversy in social media. For the other situations, I saw almost nothing.

Actually, I'm excited. Unlike some of yours, I never considered Satoshi as my childhood hero. Not more than Tai Yagami, Yugi Muto or Ikki Tenryo, for sure. But Pokémon is one of the least franchises I continue following until now. I like Pokémon not as a story of a boy, but as a universe that...

Give Goh real battles to catch his first animals. At least writers abandoned the capture festival at some point.

Big changes in series format and tone, an art style very divergent from the others and almost no references about Satoshi's Kalosian adventures. For me, all this counts as "reset", but I know that concept is debatable.

I don't know how it was back in 2010, but this time even the 11-chapters special promo says this is Satoshi's "final chapter". And as many have said, the JN world tour and all the returns and the PWC-M8 thing felt like his final series. There's nothing more. It's like winning the World Cup...

People hating someone from a poster aren't meant to be taken so seriously, I think. The same for those who believe a female strong leader won't appeal boys. We grow watching Sailor Moon or Xena The Warrior Princess, you know.

They didn't say he'll stay another full generation (or anything specific), only that "his travel will continue" or so. This is the continuation. Hopefully with Lillie. Still want to know how Satoshi got her Poké Doll.

I'd say yes, they both are. Every series has its own companions, so it wouldn't be a surprise.

Nah, it's the anime, well known for messing the game's plot and characters. If writers could bring back to school Trial Capitains and even a League runner-up, what could prevent them from doing the same with a self-nerfed Champion? Paldea has an "official" Champion already.

If writing wants, we'll have a Satoshi mentoring a newbie Nemona.
