The Reason Why I Hate Journeys Is Because The Series Just Disrespects Both Pokemon And Characters Like Infernape, Alain And Much More.

[Pokewho-]

And here’s my problem with Pokémon journeys when ash was about to have his big moment with Leno you would think that everyone who traveled with ash would be there in person to watch him
Especially the aloa gang since they were the ones who shaped him to be champion of alola

[ianmurphy]

I think a big miss opportunity for Journey's is Galar Region itself. This region feels like a perfect Region for Ash to travel. Gym battles, new Pokemon like Drednaw or Corvaknight, Hop, Marnie and Bede as potential rivals/companions, etc. And if this was a return to form after Sun and Moon slice of life series, I think people can look fondly over it. It's also crazy that its successor 4, Horizons did a better job at being a travel the world series while representing Galar than the Gen 8 anime,

[kevinyero]

The main problem with the series is that it didn’t take itself serious. I know pokemon is a kids show but this series felt like the Dora the Explorer. I feel like they should have forgotten about Goh and Chloe and just made Ash do the same thing but in Galar with Hop as he co-protagonist wanting to beat the league and have Ash as his mentor.

[boitaiapa]

The thing is, Ash intended on using one gimmick, but Leon WANTED Ash to use all three

[ultimatehope]

I feel like one of the reasons Journeys is so hated is because of how much potential it had, and how it squandered like 90% of it. Even with the Master’s 8 tournament, Ash’s matches and Iris VS Cynthia are all fantastic battles, with Ash VS Leon being one of the best battles in the series. But pretty much every other fight felt either rushed or unimportant, and it’s still insane how they thought it was a good idea to only let Leon lose like 1 or 2 Pokémon to Alain and Diantha but Ash is somehow able to beat him. Plus all the filler and like 3 recap episodes

goh was playing pokemon go in the series and chloe playing lets go evee

[Wendydeez]

Ash should’ve brought back his old Pokemon

[Oceane]

I personally love Chloe's premise. She's someone who's seemingly not interested in Pokémon battles, and she doesn't know what she wants to become, and her journey of discovering herself could have been really interesting.

Also she's an introvert and more relatable to me, as she's not as outgoing and was often annoyed by Ash and Goh's antics.

To have someone who struggles to find their place in the world and is seemingly ostracized for not being into Pokémon battles, with her classmates thinking she's weird and just doesn't like Pokémon at all (which isn't the case), it's interesting.

But then she got Eevee and just became a trainer anyway. Massive wasted potential with Chloe.

Also I *HATE* Journeys Ash. He's an insufferable Mary Sue, that's what he is. And there's nothing I despise more in writing than Mary Sues.

This is a Wii u to Switch situation. Journeys Walked so horizons could run. World Travel Formula This time they really travel from region to region instead of one episode they are in Kalos in the next episode they are in Sinnoh. Dot has the same role as Chloe but actually gets screen time and a lot of character development, more than Roy even. And the story is the best it's ever been

[spontaneouswizard]

Let’s be honest. The real reason Goh exists in Pokémon anime was to tie into the Pokemon Goh game which had already been put by 3 years at that point. Which is disappointing in itself when you think about it. Hence his name, “Goh.”

[sussyelmo]

They should've removed Goh entirely. Focused more on Ash developing the pokemon he had. The world coronation series should've allowed multiple gimmicks to be used, but most of the champions use only one, other that Ash with 3 and Cynthia with 2 (Mega and Dynamax). This could've built Leon as even stronger because he only uses one gimmick and is almost better than Ash, and he wouldn't have been cheating. Also they screwed Serena. If they didn't have Goh, they could've done something better. They could've used the same style, with Ash travelling everywhere, but in a coherent story, meeting all his old friends in a way to get stronger, like with Paul, and Ash-Greninja. It would've brought back old characters, allowed for the series to focus on Ash and his team and their development, and he would've had a believable win in the World Coronation Series

Legendary Pokémon used to be Legendary, but with journeys u see one like every 10 episodes, killed the joy I felt seeing a legendary as a child

[warriorpokemon]

I'm only pissed that Ash left without ending Team Rocket like he did with the other evil teams.

[shadowplays]

I genuinely think Journeys Number 1 Problem by far was being episodic. Having one off eps here and there is fine, every series has that but for Ash’s final series at least like 90% of it should be focused on Ash, Goh, And their Pokémon. I would’ve had Zero issue with Ash not using reserves had Ash’s new team had more time to develop specifically in the first half of the series since the second half they got more shine finally.

[mercedestrenz]

Also, I don't think it made sense for Paul to say "I'm not interested in noisy crowds" because wasn't the Sinnoh League a noisy crowd?

[-lemur-]

9:26 the thing that pisses me off the most about this is that the whole 'cant handle losses' thing was in XY, and that whole character arc was peak and it was resolved so perfectly, so i dont know who the hell in the writing team came up with that because ash is over that shit

[spontaneouswizard]

In all honesty, I was really worried that Goh was literally going to take over as the main character after Ash left. I’m so glad that didn’t happen at all!

[FireTypesEver]

Bro Pokemon Journey's was basically a joke of a series I didn't like the characters and almost everything in this anime was caterpillar butt cheeks like they could of just had Ash travel the Galar region instead of him going around doing random crud

[swift]

the problem can be boiled down to
-journeys biting off more than it could chew (which it might have been able to manage if covid never happened olm never got scrambled)

-really poor writing at times like they wrote themselves into a corner with steven

also the fact this is ash’s last series and the final episodes were nostalgia bait filler was really awful
