Even tho its an unpopular opinion, i do believe that this has been the best pokemon has to offer anime wise.
I did not watch all the other seasons in their entirety, only caught some episodes here and there that were passing on the TV. Therefore, I think journeys has made a lot of new bold decisions with the pokemon anime, not only Ash has more knowledge about battling but also some memories from past regions he's been at, I also really appreciate the concept of having a character that mainly focus on catching pokemon, its nice because Ash never really focused on that before, and Goh, despite having hardly any trouble capturing Pokemon (probably because of the pun with his name and the mobile game Pokemon Go) is a nice character with ambitions and that doesn't need Ash to do what he wants.
The series might have started a little goofy, but let's not forget that the main target audience for this series are kids, although this series did develop a lot in terms of battle depth (abilities, natures and stats boost moves) and story depth as well, so I think it's only fair to see those changes as an upgrade and accept the anime for what it is, thr Joruney of Ash AND Go.
