Wasn't Brendan a bit faster? Since he appeared on M6Victor the hipster escaped never animated jail faster than any other male PC!
So through much of this series the animators have focused on more subtle character acting and stuff like that. Outside of scenes like Saito's training in episode 2 or Rurina riding Milokaross there haven't been many moments of all-out SPECTACLE throughout...
But damn did they just pull all the stops with that fight scene? That was, like, possibly even more intense than Sun & Moon 144. And definitely miles above anything PM19 has delivered.
It was rather obvious this was set prior the story, given Hop still only had Wooloo and lived at home.Also the cameo of Victor and Gloria confirms this was pre-SwSh.
The director also posted this to celebrate the final episode!

But... But...
Isn't Not-Tai supposedly dead?
It'd be amazing if he could do a scene on Journeys' climaxYeah, Series Director Yamashita really nailed this series in general but it's also nice to see how many skilled animators he was able to dig up. Sadly, he didn't do any animation himself on this series. I'd have loved to see him work on this last episode, at least.

It's almost like they didn't have to animate it on the shoestring budget of a weekly anime...I don't usually say this but since it's a direct comparison that G-Max battle between Leon and Raihan was leaps and BOUNDS over what the anime gave us. Actually portraying the size weight and scale of these huge Pokemon properly
PERFECT ENDING TO A PERFECT SERIES! It wrapped up John’s arc beautifully, gave Leon & all the gym leaders great moments to shine & sun up their characters (despite being short), the battle was amazing, and the tease of Victor & Gloria was the perfect bow on top.
Galar’s become one of my favorite regions (the other 2 being Johto & Unova) and this series did a great job fleshing the region out beyond the games
