So glad to see some people yelling in those one star reviews simply because Ash is no longer the protagonist. This lively, inspirational and joyful reboot definitely has ruled them out and is building up a better community.
Oh come on, give Ash a break.
If a story that has a smart, kind, growing protagonist, that has many brilliant women in all industries, that does not emphasize toxic masculinity, that balances the entire Pokemon world and battles perfectly, is not your cup of tea - feel free to suit yourself.
