Pokemon Journeys is Fixing its Biggest Problem! 

I loved Dawn's return, I'm just a little disappointed that we didn't get much of an update from her. She was moreso a spectator and a tool for Chloe's growth rather than an actual return. We didn't even get much of an update from her- like has her Pokemon evolved, has she become a Top Coordinator, which region is she heading to next. Honestly, if they were to make her be Chloe's companion and mentor, I wouldn't be against that. I think Pokemon contests need a comeback, I miss watching the performances, and Chloe becoming a coordinator alongside Dawn would be pretty damn epic. But kudos to the writing them, they knew Dawn and Piplup are beloved and so spanned their episodes to be longer.

Still mad that Ash and Dawn didn't high five each other

Journeys has the potential to be one of the best series if the creators keep focusing on character development like they’ve done with Chloe during Dawn’s return.

I hope we see Koharu in more major arcs after this. She could use a lot more development and I'd like to see her set more pokemon.

I'm happy that Dawn is returning in two episodes in Pokemon Master Journey Series but I am a little disappointed that I didn't get to see the rest of her Pokemon beside Piplup and I did see her Togekiss but only in the flashback. And to be honest I was hoping to see both Dawn's Buneary and Quilava to finally evolved into Lopunny and Typhlosion off screen during her journey because Lopunny is my favourite and very beautiful, while Typhlosion could make for Dawn's Piplup never evolved fully. I'm still hoping that Dawn will returns again in winter special and this see the return of the rest of her team and fingers crossed that Dawn's Buneary and Quilava have finally evolved into Lopunny and Typhlosion off screen🤞

My only argument with this series, When it comes to filler episodes they normally don’t connect to the main cast. It is very episodic and most of the time, the featured characters in the episode has nothing to do with the end goal. Its centers too much around Sportsmanship and Companionship and leaves no room for in-depths artistic writing. The Pokémon anime has always been a big billboard advertising for the Franchise. It’s spent so much time showing off different Pokémon to the point where the story or plot runs all over the place instead of focusing on one specific point. For example Ash wants to be on top of the world championship pyramid right? Why is there one rank championship battle in between 15 or 20 filler episodes?! Why isn’t there enough training session episodes that will contrast Ash’s end goal? At first I thought it was OK to skip some matches done over the course of the series, But looking at it now They should have made more episodes based on those off screen battles and training moments.

I'm glad Ginger made this video addressing the issue and that it's being fixed but of course there will be people that still complain and make Journeys look worse than it is like they used to do with Black and White and Sun and Moon.

Honestly I'm only hyped for the next episode because of team rocket reuniting with their alolan pokemons and bewear. Not hyped for the twerps.

It'd be so cool to see Cyrus return and find out what happened to him after all these years. Obviously we'd like to see all of Ash's other friends return, but the writers have stated that for them to do so, there needs to be a story where their returns would actually make sense. Hopefully Gen 9 doesn't begin until late 2023; not only would that give Game Freak to develop the new games, but it would also give another year for Journeys episodes

I will say this, I love Pokémon journeys, Even more than before. Journeys have improved so much now. So many callbacks and returning characters.

What needs to happen, is they need to go back and see Kurt and FINALLY open up the GS Ball.

And, maybe... There's hope that the writers will make better use for Ash's other powerhouse Pokemon that didn't show up in the Moltres episode, like Sceptile and Greninja, that they will have good arcs when they appear. Maybe Sceptile can battle against Tobias's Darkrai again, and maybe reunite with someone else like Blaziken and/or Meganium for example... Greninja can maybe meet Ash's Lucario and tie in with Serena's return...

I've been binging the series for the past week since episode 1. I'm at 65, and this is absolutely the best Pokémon anime that we could've asked for. There's just like 3 or 4 episodes that felt a little flat, but aside from that every episode brings something of interest or just genius raw comedy.

Now we need is more references to xy.

It seemed like with journeys that it was just filler and lately we have been getting some actually good episodes

That’s one problem Journeys is adressing, but it has many others, mainly The Pokémon of Ash and Goh. Ash’s non pikachu Pokémon are so underdeveloped, only having a couple battles. People hated Jhoto and Unova but It still felt like ash had a team or other Pokémon, in Journeys it’s exciting just to see Lucario, and that’s bad. Goh’s goal is to catch every Pokémon, but outside of galar starters and kinda farfetch’d and scizor, he hasn’t developed with most of them. Lastly, FILLER, why is there so much. Journeys has been improving since 50 with less episodes taking place in Kanto, or if they do, they are at least pretty interesting, less filler(we still get it and it can be bad like 52 and 61), more continuity, and overall being more exciting

Hopefully they keep this up 🤞

I don't know if this sounds greedy, I REALLY don't mean it to be, but I feel like the second part of the Dawn return left something to be desired in terms of fanservice. Was it too much to ask for seeing Dawn's other Pokemon in the flesh or the signature high five (even Unova had that) I still liked the episode but I think it could've bemefitted from a third part reflecting on the more mundane stuff like the Contest Dawn was talking about.

It’s been hard to support the Journey Series because they have a lack of focusing on a story main story or at least the story they want to tell is not as interesting as they’ve show. I know last year was difficult, but that no excuse for making the Series feel rushed and boring. I still hope that Journey’s can improve, but aside from some good moments and the returning characters is helping, but Journey has been as great as it should bee! I’m saying that Journey’s doesn’t feel like a Journey with Ash and Goh being at the lab in Kanto all the time. Maybe, their trying to preparing Chloe to fully join them to go on a real Journey, but we’ll see if that happens.

The only region that hasn't gotten much fanservice in Journeys is Hoenn: Kanto.....do we really need to talk about Kanto? Johto got Chuck and a flashback to his battle. Sinnoh got Dawn, Paul flashbacks and soon Volkner. Unova got Iris. Kalos got Korrina. Alola got....Alola. Advance is the only series to not get anything so far. No gym leaders no Frontier Brains, no May or Max. Hell, the ONLY Hoenn Ash Pokemon to make an appearance in the Gary episode was Corphish which made no sense when you realized Infernape was fighting all of Ash's Fire types. So where the hell was Torkoal? Does Journeys have something against Advance. It was forgettable but not bad.

I know that I can watch them right now, but I wait for the episodes to come to America’s Netflix, so that I don’t have to worry about subtitles. I am watching specials that only aired in Japan like the Pikachu shorts and the ones centering on Ash’s former companions like with Clemont, Bonnie, and Cilan, etc. But it’s great that they are appearing with Ash again in the main series, and I hope they continue doing that.

DUDE, Cyrus making a crazy come back like that would be GODLY, litterly lol

Keep it up on your work and this channel

In episode 83, Ash and Goh meet Sinnoh Champion Cynthia in Jhoto. You will love that one.

Iam happy when u always say WHAT'S UP GINGER CORNETS MAKES me feel happy 😊😁😁😁

The problem with this series is that writers can't manage the episodes they write. It is so obvious in episode like the 27th (where they introduced Sonia, Rose, Farfetch'd, showed the battle between Leon and Lance and ended with Sobble, ALL in one freaking episode), or the Infernape reunion one, which was the biggest disappointment of this series. Now, these new episodes about Dawn are disappointing too. At least her relationship with Chloe (who is the only main character with a good development in this series) was told well. But then you see the Rocket Trio that appears and disappears out of nowhere, an already seen Darkrai and Cresselia story, where Dawn didn't do nothing special to justify her presence, and Ash that almost seems annoyed of seeing his friend again. Why couldn't they take more time for evolving the relationship between Chloe and Dawn, which was the only interesting thing of this episodes? Why making them perform if in the end no one partecipates in this Pokémon Contest they talked about? I feel like they try to insert 100 things in one episode but they mess up with almost everything. The Darkest Day arc had its little problems, but in the end it was good, because they took 4 episodes, which was enough. What's the thing that stops them from doing this again? An useless filler episode like the Plusle and Minun one?

Yea I agree on the continuity bit. Though I haven't watched season 2 of journeys, season 1 was all over the place. Almost every episode had its own arc, and when they visited the other regions, the regions weren't even shown off.

I am excited:) thanks for the vid

I have high hopes for this series, its so good and just makes me giddy when old characters or flashbacks happen. I hope one day they address Ashs father though and some other things (pokemon he left behind)

This episode was Disappointing, we don't see any of Dawn's other pokemon. I hoping to see Buneary and ash Pikachu reunited

Haven’t watch the vid yet please let them give goh something better to do than catching all Pokémon’s with a so call masterball

to be honest its the same with every series that halfway through there's a drop in general enjoyment as you've already got all the marketing and promotions for most of the series but you still want everything. I don't mind about the lack of callbacks or direction because there is more to come and the series really has to establish its roots for it to work.

I am technically worried to see the dubbed versions of these episodes since not all of the voice actors/voice actresses could come back. We have nothing to worry about with Gary's since Jimmy Zoppi does 2 main voices. Dawn's voice actress; Emily Jenness should be doable since she still returns to do Matori, Giovanni's basically Manager Agent. Iris' actor however is questionable since Eileen Stevens actually left so anything she did in Sun and Moon, she had to be replaced with.

I really hope They Fix Goh's character more and i Hope he actually uses more then the Galaries pokemon instead of just 1 pokemon. Or at least use more of all the pokemon he caught. See more of Sueicune and Zapdose. I'm happy that The writing and animation as a whole has improved.

They should play any diamond and pearl theme song especially (galactic battles) when dawn is having a contest

So I haven’t been watching Pokemon journeys for like 2 months. So I didn’t even know she was coming. Ginger should I continue watching journeys. I stopped watching around episode 70 of the newest one. So the entire arc of ash and goh going to a snowy mountain.

2:10 They better do it sooner or later

Oh, i always thought cyrus just flew into space and straight up died 😂 oups.

Chloe is actually going to be relevant. That's the best fix I've heard so far.

biggest problem is goh existence lmao

I swear if we see Paul (in more than just a flashback) I will loose my mind. Gary is already great for me, Iris and Dawn are fantastic too but Paul would revert me too a child. I don't think it will happen but yet I never thought we would get as much as we have got.

I heard there was a director switch i don't know how long ago but yeah idk if true

I’m hoping we get a new opening once we get to the next episode. I’m hoping they finally just bring back Lillie and Gladion. It’s easy to do and opens the door for other stuff to be hyped up.

Why isn't any of it on Netflix and does some one know when they will be on it ?

Imagine Ash actually WENT to Galar and Hop was his companion :D

where r u guys watching it? netflix only has 4 parts

when is journeys coming out with the next season

As long as we get to see more of ash’s friends and Pokémon friends return I don’t mind, I’m still hoping his release Pokémon will return and he reunites with Serena and they get to become a couple

Absolutely agree!

Watching the old pokemon journeys until now… newer episodes seem a lot more better

Pokemon after they make a series: wanna see me do it again?

I have a question.What will happen next?Dawn and Koharu to continue to travel together?I think Koharu stay with Dawn before the next contest.And soon they say goodbye

Still holding out on the possible plot twist that Cyrus created the chibi world as his ideal world.

It's great that Dawn showed up again. Now all that's left is for Paul to show up in the World Coronation Series

I am just happy that this time Goh didn’t catch Creselea and Darkrai

i wanna see goh freak out when ash reveals he is a champion. mabye it could lead goh into speculating that ash has lots of secrets he isnt telling him and they can make an ark about it idk

I wish it was a full adventure only in Galar region

Recommended :)

I like to see an episode where Yamper wants to be Chloe's Pokémon

I honestly just wish that in journeys and sun and moon were played out like the games

I hope the palkia and dialgia special has dawn in it

I only clicked on this video because Dawn and Chloe were in the thumbnail.

I am looking forward to discussing the huge problems of the earlier series. 1 series will probably take an hour.

I think that they need to hurry to get the next season onto Netflix so that I could watch it

Notifications gang💯😎🤧

Next episode is back to alola which is surprising because journeys never release three episodes back to back that’s going to be hype

I highly doubt Cyrus will ever come back cause he's the only Team Villain boss who gets what they wanted in the end. Cyrus wanted to be in a world by himself and he got it, so I don't think it's necessary for him to come back, if he's still alive anyway. What I do see happening in the Dialga and Palkia episodes is the Matori Matrix gets involved. I say this is most likely cause they've shown up twice in Journeys so far, both times have been in Sinnoh, the Elite Squad use Sinnoh Pokemon and to be more specific, the Pokemon they use are the same ones the Team Galactic admins have.

Poor Alola! Other regions' champions go out, manage the region, and mentor trainers. Alola's champion goes back home and wanders around on vacation outside of the region all the time.

Cool and all but I am still waiting for the day ash greninja comes back into my life for one last time. XYZ was where the pokemon anime peaked and I would lose my mind if they gave that part of the series the love is so deserves

Pokemon old seasons were just awesome

I honestly still hate journeys. Dawn coming back is amazing and I love to see her, but she’s a character in her own right not just plot progression and character development for another. The relationship she has with Chloe is pretty cool but we don’t learn anything too much about what Dawn has been doing. Also another moan, can we pleaseeeeeee just get some more Ash focused episodes. Some were good, but Gary being Gohs new rival really irks me it genuinely feels as though the main man is being pushed into the background more and more. Maybe they’re going to finally acknowledge Ash being the champion but why was that not acknowledged in the slightest when he went to alola? I know no Pokemon series is entirely perfect but Journeys just annoys me in a way no other Pokemon series ever did, not even Best wishes despite all its flaws:/

i saw this video on my suggestions and though "did they finally removed goh"

I’m just happy they finally mentioned that ash is the champ

Where can you watch master journeys

Hey, Daaaaawn

I hope Bulbysaur, Charzard, Squirtle, Pidgeot, and Butterfry will make a guest comeback.

I’m not sure if Chloe is an actual one of ashes companions even though she still probably isn’t I still would count her as one

Dialga and Palkia huh? In order to get dialga and palkia out of space they need the lake trio will Brock, Dawn and Ash reunite?👀 Its just my opinion but i dont think they are still the lake trios guardian:《

I love gingers, i love animation, so I love animated ginger

Even if they fix this they are biggest problem that is goh

"Welcome to the final part of the dawn related videos" This aged like milk lol

Does anyone else think that Dawn's episode was rushed?

I tought the biggest problem was that dawn doesnt look like a chibi like she should most of the time. Except for battles.

I mean sinnho specials were sick !!!!!

For what it is is cool, but it barely incorporates any galar characters. No classic gym battles either. And that’s seriously disappointing considering sword and shield has the coolest characters. Imagine bede and Marnie joining the journey! That would be so cool and their characters would work off each other so well.

I am still hoping greninja returns and goh tries to catch it without knowing its ash's greninja and the pokeball just bounces off lmao

Ash has had all these adventures time has clearly passed but he's still 10 lmao

Half of the series completed but still no progression in ash's development and his pokemons team. Chloe's goal needs to be set and start to travel with ash at this time but not happened yet. However I am just watching Pokemon journeys previews and youtuber speculation videos because they just entertains than the actual episodes.

People not aging definetely doesn't works. And mostly because of all these returning characters. I mean, if they just made canon that time doesn't passes it would be good

I also think the same

The big mistake is giving team rocket that stupid vending machine!

I don't know why i think koharu Will be next ash

i dont like how he pronounces pokemon wrong but his entire channel is dedicated to it

I don’t like how Chloe meets every girl that ash traveled with

To Be Honest, the plot of every pokemon series is just GAME-BASED Character development and Lore. We got to see Ash's Character development But We Havent Seen The Anime Have Its Very Own Lore Which Surrounds Ash's Dad, Origin, and His Connection to the Bond Phenomenon. MAN I WANNA SEE ASH'S Own LORE SO BAD .

2:30 yeah agreed

I'm still waiting for a lot of this to come out as english dubbed so I can understand, I won't watch the episodes until they are english dubbed...

If they bring back Serena and they don't bring THAT up imma be real mad

I want Sarena and Greninja to back in journeys 😥

I really want Serena back to see ash's reaction
