Opinions do not shield you from criticism. Even if it's harsher than Death Valley.
Sure they can. And they also have the right to continue to complain about these these others’ opinions like they keep doing already hehe
“Why they say Goh is that and that...” Sounds like a complain about others opinions hehe
But ofc u have ththe right to do so:)

Todd Snap's return looks a bit likely lol
How hilarious it'd be if Todd freaking Snap beat the XY gang in returning to the show lol

Man forget Sabrina and Erika, I'd much rather see Ash rematch Agatha or see him battle Bruno/Lorelei
And preferably only one another Kanto trainer other than the likely Gary, Lance and Lt. Surge, I'm sick of Kanto!
Also they could just as easily give Mega Alakazam to Will
And while I would like Koga to be upgraded as he's basically the only Poison E4 member in existence, Lance seemingly being an Elite Four member makes that a bit difficult(But if Gary is champion, totally worth it!). I don't really see that happening unfortunately

Ash still has yet to fight somebody from Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh that wasn't a COTD. I hope they give him somebody from those soon, maybe he could even fight a Sinnoh E4 member this time as they can't pull that 'lol win the league and we'll fight!' card. DP is tied with BF as my favorite saga but that consistent factor always ticked me off, especially as the one went and fought Dawn. :rolleyes:

Johto... since there's too many Dragon specialists already(Lance, Raihan, Iris) I don't really want to see Claire, unless we actually get to see her and Lance interact with one another. So Will or Karen would do, Will would be preferable due to Ash not likely fighting a Psychic specialist from Galar.

Hoenn. Brandon rematch with the new Regis! Regigigas would be a nice bonus too but I primarily wanna see Brandon complete the set and bring us another epic battle!
Despite what I said about Claire, Drake is honestly the only E4 member I'm actually interested in. Ash did battle him and lost so much like Agatha and Palmer I've been itching for a rematch for years!

Sinnoh. Palmer is my prime choice as I've always been a huge advocator for the Sinnoh BF happening! I'd find Ash battling any of the E4 just as acceptable though. I'd say Paul is basically confirmed given Infernape's back so not gonna bother with that

Unova. Iris was a main character so her winding up Ash's only Unova opponent feels like cheating. I'd love it if Grimsley finally made his debut(Love the guy but still don't understand why he got into the SM games but N didn't) And outside of PWC, bring back Cilan and let him and Ash rematch the Subway bros! Hugh would be nice too.... but that is the one thing I've said that actually feels like a fool's dream, I doubt we'll ever see Hugh :/
Whoops! How could I forget the Frontier Brains?! I totally agree with your reply. The new Regis scream Brandon's return! If it isn't a battle then he could have a role in a Crown Tundra arc. Yes, Palmer also needs a return in addition to the Sinnoh BF members. There's an increased chance with the upcoming BD&SP games.

The only detail I would change is giving Will a Xatu as his main Pokémon. I'd like to see Ash battling a very strong Xatu. We've never seen it in a serious battle. It's so underrated. Will is from Johto after all.

XY is the only series I am scared for flashbacks. And that is cause idk if the JN artstyle will fit the XY characters.
Given that Korrina looks like her normal self. Odds are Bonnie, Clemont and Serena will look like how they usually do as well

Tho it also wouldn't surprise me if they tweaked Serena's face a bit to make her look more like her game counterpart just like they did to Iris
She can fit JN artstyle without looking off. Credits to Novanoah.

Overall I don’t think the writing for this Journeys is the best, still better than BW. My only hope is once Ash reaches Hyper Class the battles become more than 1v1 or 2v2 And we see more returning trainers.

I think the problem with Journeys in my opinion is the Bizarre alterations the writers have incorporated into the series due to Pokemon Goh. Pokémon never use to be this easy to catch but because of Pokémon Goh now apparently battling to catch a Pokémon is no longer required. The episodic format is also a problem.

Another thing about Gohs catches, they are treated like check marks on a list. Catches use to be rare and really mean something now they just become a boring part of the episode. Even the big catches like suicune and Absol were not impressive because we know we wont see them again. Why should we care?

Honestly, I think it's a bit early to rank journeys with everything else.

Either way, mine (so far) would be: XY, AG, BW, DP, SM, an abysm, a black hole, another dimension's galaxy and then the first series. If I were to add Journeys, I'd probably put it slightly above SM but it really depends on how it's going to end (at least the "gen 8 run", anyway).

By the way for what's worthy, I was one of the kids who started/got hooked with the original fad way back during the gen I years.

==================

As for Pokémon speculation, I think we are more likely to see some of Ash's reserves evolving than he capturing something new. I might be wrong but that's my impression so far.

No one here said Goh was a psycopath or bully.
Except they did. The former was way back before you started posting here more often. The later is a bit more recent.

Anyway, I still love how you all likes the character so much you simply can't stop talking about him :)
