    I usually say people who disagree with me just have a different opinion and/or point of view and that's okay. But I'm gonna put in question the taste of that person who says Horizons is a 0/10 and poorly written. Horizons' writing is great. Not perfect, but still great. Next they're gonna tell us Journeys was flawless and perfect.

      @@UmbreonxUmbreon Agreed. Also the characters. There's so much missed potential with Chloe, and Ash is good character... but not in Journeys. He was so poorly written I found him annoying.
      I question the decision of letting THIS be his last season and never have him meeting Nemona. I'm not the biggest Ash fan but even I can see that this is a huge missed opportunity.
      But oh well we have a great introverted protagonist which I appreciate more since she's relatable.

    Everytime im talking about how good pokemon horizons was (not perfect but still good) i got attacked by those toxics ash worshipper, and when im countering them they start play victim saying that we are not pokemon anime fans, like seriously they claim to be poke anime fans but skip episode without ash in it (i watch all pokemon anime with or without ash)
    Bad animation? Even if horizons had same animation quality as XYZ (the fact they have action director who work for XYZ to work on Horizons) they will not accept it
    Also pokemon horizons have reached 44 episode and its balanced, Cap is not always save the day which people always complain about (if it was ash pikachu they not gonna complain because of Nostalgia)

    HZ'S writing is so good!! Ofc not perfect but its really good, well thought-out and lore/story heavy. What people expect from the pokemon animes is action action action. They don't expect lore to be heavy. Pokemon animes are usually pretty simplistic with them all following some sort of structure. This anime is very different in that regard, so people don't want it. Also, the Ash stuff.

    Horizons is statistically doing better than the last 3 generations lmao, these people lost their minds.
    Pokemon horizons is if not one of the best pokemon animes out there. It's a breath of fresh air from ash and pikachu, pokemon is all about exploring the lands and discovering new things, and that is exactly what horizons nails perfectly. It gives you that feeling of adventure that ash didnt had. The writing is phenomenal, they give side characters enough screen time to be evolved in the story.
    Its in the top 10 most wanted tv series per week in japan.
    Its definitely not a flop

    I just started when the dub came to Netflix and am now binging the sub online. Imo its been better than Journeys, aside from the Masters 8. Horizons is probably the most plot-focused Pokemon has been since the XYZ. Overall, I say Horizons has better plot, but Journeys had better battles. The only reason why I didn't watch Horizons earlier is because is simply wasn't as accessible as previous seasons. I kinda stepped back and waited for there to be a decent amount of episodes before catching up. No regrets on that decision

    The problem is that the fad for Pokemon passed over 20 years ago and those fans that the show kept over that time, fell off slowly as time went on, newer fans picked up the show but it was never going to be as big as its hayday and then they ended the show when they retired Ash and decided to go on a new direction which is gonna cause even more fans to drop off with even less new fans picking it up.
    They're not able to recreate the same hype that existed around this product 20-25 years ago, so they need to rely on good storytelling and unfortunately, theres only so much good storytelling you can do on a show aimed at under 18 year olds.

    • @UmbreonxUmbreon
      @UmbreonxUmbreon  4 місяці тому +4

      I love this take, the fall off is def bigger than ever now, and the younger crowd from what I’ve seen do appreciate the writing surprisingly. I figure if they can get that target audience now(with solid plot and character development) the nostalgia is gonna be crazy down the line looking back on the Liko/Roy era but we’ll see
