>this is the show that's supposedly so horrible
A real man would never criticize Journeys, only someone who's way too serious about the Pokemon anime would ever have a problem with such a fun series. I do hate the episodes that focus on legacy characters and wish fulfilment for fans. This is easily the best the formula has ever been and the gen 10 anime will probably imitate it, I don't see them trying to do another continuity focused series again after the failure of Horizons.
