Xy was super good on its own , and it hyped alot of people without using nostalgia. Journeys, however made hype using nostalgia

Rivals for Goh?! The Road to Mew!! (1157)

True, Journeys needs its own unique strength to fall back on instead of just nostalgia. The world tour, PWC and Ash being treated as strong are good concepts that could serve as that but executed horribly, along with Goh's goal. Project Mew is something I have a lot of high hopes for, especially since I enjoyed the Darkest Day arc

I don't think they're bashing XY, no need to get all worked up. XD

I am not getting worked up. Just saying what I think

I'd say it's been happening since BW.
They did course-correction with things such as TR's characterization and the continuity thing by bringing back Dawn for an arc, showing off more pre-gen 5 pokémon and even doing nostalgia trip episodes like Charizard's return and that Butterfree episode. I'd say even the Iris' dynamic with Ash improved (though that one can be atributed to character development)
XY kept it with TR's handling and Ash's dynamics in regards to his group (ditching the whole thing of being overly critical of everything he does)
SM addressed the league thing (everything else like the tone and the slice of life format seems more like an answer to Yokai Watch's then-success)

Agreed, Yokai Watch wasnt really a threat to Pokemon as people made it out to be, similar to on a lesser scale is TemTem.

YW has never been a threat to AniPoke, that would just be the misconception of some corporate narrow minded guy. AniPoke's apparent decline in TV viewership had less to do with a different show threatening it, rather, it's because of how much more prominent the internet has become over the last decade and that too in a rapid way.

Even if the series has changed drastically in this saga, I still don't think it will last beyond 150-ish episodes, the reason being the PWC is advancing way too fast offscreen (seriously, Ash is already at the second-to-last tier before we're even at 70 episodes) and the alleged worldwide tournament can't possibly extend into whatever new region there is after Leon's spotlight time is over.

What's the logic for it being longer you think?

There's a possibility gen 9 might come out in 2023 instead of late 2022 making gen 8 a 4 year series and giving more episodes to Journeys
I guess COVID really hit Japan hard huh?

A horrible Decolore Islands-like situation quickly rearing its head, if you mean if we end up having 50 or so leftover episodes after the PWC ends. If so, they totally did NOT plan this PWC thing well (not that they already have done it well now).
Something something pandemic. Possibly. Japan is starting to suffer from a wave of cases because they're apparently too proud to use vaccines not made by themselves.
Kind of a wonder this anime hasn't had a break yet, but they may just run into one if things keep up as they are. Pure speculation on my part, though.

What do you mean? The animation was great—not as great as JN065, but still great. Did you not SEE Moltres using Burn Up?

Not thinking twice!
tbh this episode's animation was actually pretty great, as well as for the Iris episode..........though yeah, overall the animation this series definitely feels weaker than XY/SM

Take me back to peak pokemon
Yeah, overall the animation here was far above average for this series but I was moreso referring to how they weren't able to get any big animators. I checked the credits and it's just the usual people. Even the previous episode by this team had Maenami.

Japan has a 3rd wave, with a peak of cases in May 15th and a peak of deaths in May 24th. Both numbers are moving down since those dates.

Is it possible that we don't even have those one-minute Pikachu battles because it takes more time to animate during a pandemic.
Problem is the citizens there want Japan to postpone the Olympics because it isn't safe unlike last year when it was remotely safer, which means the situation may be more dangerous than we're led to believe.
