This is my favorite Pokémon series so far.
I´m a big fan of the games, but never really liked the anime.
Story- 8
Since the Sun and Moon series (I´m currently watching it), the anime has a more funny and cozy touch.
I think it was a great great idea making the main characters travel around different regions, which, given the currently large number of Pokémon, helps exploring this vast world and gives every Pokémon some screen time. This is also helped because of Gou, which catches almost every Pokémon he sees! and also because of Team Rocket having a new gatcha that lends them new Pokémon randomly.

this new season isn't focused in a region, the system of gym leaders wouldn't make sense, so I think it was a great idea creating the world championship, which also possibilities the appearance of old characters of the vast cast of the anime.
As of now (episode 38), there weren't situations like saving the world and antagonists very villainous, which was a major thing that I disliked in the Black and White series (and I think there was something like that at the end of the XY series)
Art- 7
Also since the Sun and Moon series, the art became more fluid, which added to the fun.
Sound- 7
It's not remarkable, but I noticed some tracks from the Sword and Shield games, which makes a better experience for who played that games
Characters- 8
I am a big fan of Gou, I think his addition contributed to creating more fun moments, due to his tendency to catch every Pokémon he sees, leaving Ash in his battles to do this. But the main reason that I´m liking him is due myself having also, nowadays, the objective of catching them all. His addition enables the anime focusing in the two major aspects of Pokémon- the battles (which honestly I'll never like in the anime, because they don't respect the rules of the games) and completing the Pokédex.
I´m also enjoying the evolution of Koharu´s feelings towards the Pokémon.
Ash keeps his dream of being the very best, and honestly, I'm liking his role of being more knowledgeable about battles than Gou, and remembering past anime characters, places and Pokémon, making him a little more mature.
Team Rocket is more funny that in older seasons, where I found them a little annoying.
Ahs and Gou make a great partnership, specially because they both feel like the main characters (which they are indeed! ahaha), which I think didn't happen in past seasons, were other main characters were only given protagonism sometimes.
Enjoyment- 9
For all I've said, I´m really enjoying this new season.
Overall- 8
Thanks for reading and I hope that I've been helpful!
