@@Zactoshi I think that Ash living in Galar, right after spending a whole series in Alola, would've felt redundant. That's why they went for Kanto. Though, if the Galar episodes were written just a bit differently, we still could've gotten a much better representation.
@@davidedalterio4979 Yeah, but Ash technically lives in every region he goes to in each series He doesn't have a home/ base in Black& White or XY etc, but he was still always basically staying in that region If he wasn't going to stay in Galar, then they could have considerably reduced the number of Kanto episodes All the region, especially Galar, could have benefitted if most of the episodes weren't in Kanto
@AAlex-wg8mlthis in addition I’ll add that this technically makes journeys the 4th major arc in the series to take place in “Kanto” (counting orange islands as part of Kanto) 1. Kanto gym run, 2. Orange islands, 3. Battle frontier, 4. Journeys.
No way the sinnoh league quarter finals were 6v6, but then the quarter finals of the biggest tournament in the world with all the champions here were a 3v3 in the first round.
If this man has the balls to make a 5 hour video on a whole Pokemon series, then I can make the one I'm planning on the XY series. Thank you so much for inspiring me Zac!
@LlamaTortilla Thanks lol. Still might take a while to make though. Btw, are you Mexican? I assume from your name you might be. Because if so, then so am I!!!
Hey Zac I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your influence on me as a pokemon fan. I've watched you over the years and even plan on posting my own snime rewrite! Thank you for everything Zac! You're the best inspiration any pokemon creator could have! ❤❤
The reason why they took so long to make a Ren focused episode is because the episode was a dedication to his English voice actor who sadly passed away of cancer earlier that year.
Never knew I needed a five hour long video review of Journeys, but I'll gladly take it! This is something I'll be looking forward to using as background noise when I'm doing errands around my house!
The only thing that I like about the three series of Pokemon Journey Series are Ash's friends return and see some of their Pokemon evolved off screen like Iris's Haxorus, Clemont's Diggersby and Serena's Delphox.
Man, what a journey for Ash and Goh. Same for you involving this show and how it progressed. Really want to try and do this sort of thing on my end in the future!
All I wanted, if we werent going to focus on the World Coronation Series that much, was some shenanigans among Ash's team. Wouldve gave them some semblance of character and dynamics with each other. It really felt like this series was being made by people who knew this would be Ash's last series and got instant burnout, only going through the motions until it was time to work on Horizons. Edit: wow, after watching through this, its actually despressing how many times something happens that may change the status quo, getting Zacs hopes up, only for nothing to stick every single time.
Hot take: Goh capturing Suicune is FINE. Although he commanded it in battle, it wasn't against Trainers who could actually test Suicune's potential. Which means, Goh doesn't have the skill to hypothetically control and train Suicune, like Ash or Brandon did with their Legendaries. The whole point of the episode is just to show how Goh learned to be empathetic towards Pokémon, which contraxts with the Poachers and leads to Suicune befriending him. That's why Suicune leaves in the end, not to mention that Goh still hasn't used Regieleki - another mon that he's very likely not ready to control, since he got it with Gary's help.
I agree. I do get that the capture was still kinda early on despite it tieing to Project Meh but IMO that capture felt less like a catch and more of a rescue attempt to make sure the poachers don't catch it themselves. Always felt like something the show should've done more often if Ash and co weren't allowed to capture wild Pokemon and crap.
@@carterryans As I just said, the point of the capture isn't to highlight some amazing skills Goh is supposed to have, but just to show his empathy. Therefore, it doesn't matter if it happened early. He wasn't going to use Suicune in battle anyways.
You're out of your mind if you think this was even somewhat acceptable You don't just catch a Pokemon like this and THEN bond and help it. By then it's too late
If I had written the Pokemon Journey's Series, I would have had: Ash Ketchum: Ash catch more pokemon, & have him had: Rillaboom, Inteleon, a Cinderace of his own as well, Corviknight, Dragonite, Gengar, Lucario, Sirfetch'd, Dracovish, Beartic, Copperajah, Solgaleo, Zeraora, Lugia, Latias & Latios, & Ho-Oh. Ash would face & defeat the trainers he lost to in past leagues, defeat all the regional champions. He doesn't lose to loser nobody trainers. In the Ash vs Leon full Battle, Leon get's to use Eternatus in the Battle. Ash's past pokemon take part in the WCS battles & some of them will evolve. Ash will have also gotten back Greninja, Squirtle, Primeape. Goh: He doesn't hog the spotlight from Ash, doesn't catch pokemon as easily as he does, especially against Legendary's. He never catches Grookey. He wasted Grookey. Grookey fit Ash so much better. Chloe: She catches Eevee, Unfezant, Meganium, Alcremie, Galarian Ponyta. She travels with Ash & Goh throughout the series a little more. She & Eevee find their goals. Team Rocket will be used so much better. They'll be evil like how they were in the beginning of Black & White. It'll lead to Jesse, James & Meowth finally leaving the organization for good. They'll get back Arbok & Weezing. Giovanni will be finally stopped by Ash & his friends that he traveled with. No pointless filler Episodes. Each episode has a purpose & meaning to them. More time & appreciation to the Galar region.
Oh my.. This must be the compilations about the Pokemon Journeys reviews and i already miss him. I know there might be some the worst or the best series but it was worth watching the episodes all the way through. Also, all the story scripts was from the Directors
For a moment I though that the Journeys review video got deleted and this was a reupload but turns out that this was all the journeys reviews in one video,nice. Btw I can't believe how Diantha got buffed in the anime defeating Lance but certain "champion" was as lame as in the game in HZ xd
I just want to say before watching this review. I just finished my rewatch today lol which is pretty random😅 When watching this as a series with all episode out it definetly not a bad pokemon series. People look down on it because of theyre expectations and because it does something very different with no gyms. But this series did so many things we never thought we would see! Returning fan favourite characters, using mega evolution, catching pokemon from previous regions, revisiting old regions, using his old pokemon and of course becoming world champ! Goh is also looked down up in but he is a great character in my opinion. He is one of the most realistic pokemon charcaters which is what people do not like. He is a new trainer who hasn’t had as much character development as ash! Thats why we see him very stubborn and whiney! But thats a part of his character and makes him a good one. He changed a lot during the series. He is also the only character with as big of a goal as ash which really made me respect him. Ash became really close because of this too. They act like brothers. Goh is a great charcater! I do understand the Chloe dislike though. The eevee evolution was very boring but i really did like her When she just was traveling with Goh and ash. She had a great potential but i did like how her story ended. Very fitting. I also think they did Gary so good too and i loved his role in project mew! They made him a big character in journeys! They made him a Very competent character but also showed weakness! Project was such a badass, creative and fun side story!
This series has its moments but really infuriates me because of how many missed opportunities there were, like bringing Tobias back for the masters 8 or getting rid of team rocket for good.
Ok. I'll say this. When Pokemon Journeys started, I thought it had a strong start but after the battle with Korrina, that's where I feel like the story started to fall apart. The episodic nature, the failure to connect with Ash, goh, chloe and their pokemon; and the rushing of battles making them feel weak and reputation damaging. I know that the anime was facing huge problems with not just the pandemic but also 1/3 of the staff being let go before the Masters 8 began, but I just can't in good conscience say that Journeys was a good series. To me, Journeys and gen 8 was a horrible time for everyone. It brought out the worst in the anime, the fandom BIG TIME, the characters, the Galar region and its pokemon, and even the company itself. That's one of the reason why I don't want to see Ash return in Horizons, because I feel like if they actually do it, it won't just take away focus from Liko, Roy, and Dot, but also it would feel like the writers scrambling to fix the damage Journeys had done. So if you guys miss Ash, just watch Zac's rewrite, because it's time to move on. No matter how badly Journeys was handled; Ash's journey ended in Journeys. So just move on!
Being honest, i have a hard time seeing the bad in everything. So i did try to enjoy Journeys since i, at the time, didn't know if this truly was the last adventure we would have with Ash. So you know, try to make the best of it rather then wish something was and wasn't.
A series with so much potential, but like Black and White, it screwed up a lot to the point it became polarising Especially Aim To Be Mid, which was better off never happening
Unfortunately Paul is a badly written character. They tried getting a Silver like rival for Ash but instead we wound up with a Damien with competence ( The trainer who ditched Charmander )
This series had so much potential. It had very good moments and episodes, but they missed so many marks as well. I think they should've done what they did in AG. Have the first two seasons be a galar series and have the first part of season 3 end with the league and then this sets up the pwc and then we can have a 4th season and we can actually have quality time celebrating the pokemon anime as they don't need to develop new pokemon and characters and can have more focus on the pwc and Ash's older friends, pokemon, rivals and other major characters. This could've fleshed out galar better and made the pwc better with all of ash's Pokemon being used.
@1:12:21 NGL I kinda fell off with the series after this episode. Only know that Goh captures a Suicune and Ash defeated Leon. Other than that, im totally in the dark. so in highlight this is my way of catching up. I can't wait for more of your Horizons reviews! ❤
Btw, in the Laperas return episode At the end Misty admitted that they could just catch Wailord into the Pokeball and than released it That was funny not gonna lie
I definitely agree with your scores for the episodes taking place in the Alola region. JN037: That New Old Gang of Mine! (9/10) JN076: All Out, All of the Time! (8/10) JN112: Helping the Hometown Hero! (10/10) but I think it would be better if Kiawe, Mallow and Lana also appear in JN076 while Sophocles, Lillie and Gladion had solo episodes (JN096, JN111) and then they would all appear at Wyndon Stadium to cheer on Ash for the Masters 8 Finals (JN129-JN132) instead of Dawn and Chloe (since Ash represents the Alola region).
I just have to say one thing Ash's journey as main character is over doesn't mean he is ending his goal so why need a bigger send-off then winning literally the biggest league and becoming the very best like no one ever was so just let it go it's such a nostalgic trip from literally having spearow and ratata attack to now him gaining their trust fair and square
My problem with go catching suicune is that they literally explained that suicune can clean water Giving smaller Pokémon and others in the area a spot to drink and mainly just chill at so I feel like it’s kind of weird that we’re letting a child just catch this Pokémon that can benefit life for other Pokémon and probably helped the world in general so that’s my take on it on why I don’t like having suicune.
I was kinda bummed that Pokémon Journeys have small to none Galar Representation. Pokémon Horizons has a similar concept to Journeys, but unlike Journeys, it has a lot of Paldea representation. So what excuse Journeys has?
Not for certain, but I started to doubt that after they announced that World championship concept. It was given that Ash was gonna make it to finals to battle the best trainers in entire world. I thought that there is no way Ash could be pushed beyond that in hypotetchical next series
This series definitely has its ups and downs but overall it was a pretty good series I liked how ash became a champion and his team was pretty good but it should’ve represented galar better and the worst part of the series is definitely goh and Chloe but I like we got the of same characters like Dawn Serena Brock alolan gang etc
I'm still disappointed about both the third final series of Pokemon Journey and the World Coronation Series because the Japanese writers have wasted a lot of perfect opportunity for Ash to used his old Pokemon to battle during the World Coronation Series or even better to have some of them evolved at last. Lets to be honest Ash never used his old Pokemon in when he compete in the Unova, Kalos and Alola League since he always used the same Pokemon on his team and if that wasn't bad enough all his old Pokemon at Professor Oak's lab watch him compete the World Coronation Series on TV instead being selected to battle to against Steven in the Quater final, Cynthia in the semi final and Leon in the final.
I'm guessing that, out of arrogance and laziness, the writers may have proved that Ash does not need his reserves to win and automatically assume it's the best traditional concept ever. In reality, by overusing the disregard of reserves (see Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Alola and World Coronation Series), the traditional concept is now forever seen as the most hated concept of all time because the staff obviously do not know the saying "pride comes before a fall". And then you wonder why Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Crawdaunt, Floatzel, Garchomp, Samurott, Emboar, Serperior, Scrafty, Gigalith, Seismitoad and Annihilape are seen as more suited Pokemon for Ash.
I wanted Ash to win against Misty because not only I want Ash to catch a Clauncher but also since he's monarch he needs for as long as he lives-Replies Please
Despite its flaws Journeys is amazing! I mean yeah they messed up a lot like Chloe was worthless, less galar pokemon etc. BUT you gotta admit that ASH became the G.OA.T. in this series..Not to mention Goh and Ash being a good team, Ash being shown Alolan champion and us getting to see all regional champions battle it out in a slugfest to beat Leon. However Ashy boy came on TOP!!! The last battle with the OG theme soundtrack playing in the background was PEAK. Gosh that makes me emotional. I miss Ash and remember when JN ended we all were shocked to see Ash going forever. Whether you like it or not, The Journey was so so worth it. Forever love.

3:07:29 btw this episode was a tribute to Ren’s voice actor Billy Kametz so that’s probably why they made it so late
Honestly I really wished that journeys broke the status quo more like aging ash or finally defeating Giovanni once and for all
I still hope Ash returns one day and at least one of those two things (preferably both,) will happen! 🙂
@@wordlife25money Personally, I would’ve loved to see Rainbow Rocket. Maybe as Ash’s climactic final bosses besides Leon
As a massive Fan of Sun and Moon, I am so happy how each Alolan episode was amazing. Especially the last two.
Alola was so good. Both anime and games were top-notch.
The reason why they took so long to make a Ren focused episode is because the episode was a dedication to his English voice actor who sadly passed away of cancer earlier that year.

They should have just made a Galar series.
New fav audio book 😂
TWO YEARS!?!?
Despite of this series being a mixed bag, it’s fun honestly!
To be honest Galar was done the most dirty, because it’s based off the uk I was hoping we would get a series. But I do like Journey’s it’s great
A series with so much potential, but like Black and White, it screwed up a lot to the point it became polarising
Especially Aim To Be Mid, which was better off never happening

Too bad for you punk evil Paul brat.
It’s the definition of missed opportunities
Unfortunately Paul is a badly written character. They tried getting a Silver like rival for Ash but instead we wound up with a Damien with competence ( The trainer who ditched Charmander )
Great video as always, but like I said to Zanolith this is why a multiregional series with ash doesn't work.
Challenge Accepted.
@Zactoshi wait I wasn't challenging you, I was just saying my opinion.
Ohh... Man what if cilan met lico ?? How lico reacts ?? Like iris or not ??

but I think it would be better if Kiawe, Mallow and Lana also appear in JN076 while Sophocles, Lillie and Gladion had solo episodes (JN096, JN111) and then they would all appear at Wyndon Stadium to cheer on Ash for the Masters 8 Finals (JN129-JN132) instead of Dawn and Chloe (since Ash represents the Alola region).
The butch jokes caught me off guard lmao! 😂
In the dub it is called To Be A Pokemon Master no “aim” and the dub had no recaps
I just have to say one thing Ash's journey as main character is over doesn't mean he is ending his goal so why need a bigger send-off then winning literally the biggest league and becoming the very best like no one ever was so just let it go it's such a nostalgic trip from literally having spearow and ratata attack to now him gaining their trust fair and square
1:19:23 smart and ash in the same sentence wow never thought I heard that
Yo Zac loved the Manga video can't wait for what u are cooking up next!
My problem with go catching suicune is that they literally explained that suicune can clean water Giving smaller Pokémon and others in the area a spot to drink and mainly just chill at so I feel like it’s kind of weird that we’re letting a child just catch this Pokémon that can benefit life for other Pokémon and probably helped the world in general so that’s my take on it on why I don’t like having suicune.
I was kinda bummed that Pokémon Journeys have small to none Galar Representation. Pokémon Horizons has a similar concept to Journeys, but unlike Journeys, it has a lot of Paldea representation. So what excuse Journeys has?
The magikaro jump episode is based of the mobile game magikarp jump you should have mentioned that
4:40:52 The dub also does the first main theme here its PEAK FICTION like dam the didnt disappoint
that took like 2 years to finish this series
5:07 when this aired I thought they were hinting at Milo’s Gym
Not the marshtomp episode!!!!!
Dear God no, not that atrocity!!! 🤮
Can i ask everyone this question did anyone know this was going to be Ash’s last Journey with us from Episode 1 til the announcement?
No 🥲
it only occurred to me when Ash won against Leon but i didn’t want to think about it like that
Not for certain, but I started to doubt that after they announced that World championship concept. It was given that Ash was gonna make it to finals to battle the best trainers in entire world. I thought that there is no way Ash could be pushed beyond that in hypotetchical next series
The worst episode of the series: Betrayed, Bothered and Beleaguered!
I noticed you remade episode 19 because the original was done by " That guy who shall not be named" Before he was found out.
37:38 i kinda expected Zac to cover this
This series definitely has its ups and downs but overall it was a pretty good series I liked how ash became a champion and his team was pretty good but it should’ve represented galar better and the worst part of the series is definitely goh and Chloe but I like we got the of same characters like Dawn Serena Brock alolan gang etc
I'm still disappointed about both the third final series of Pokemon Journey and the World Coronation Series because the Japanese writers have wasted a lot of perfect opportunity for Ash to used his old Pokemon to battle during the World Coronation Series or even better to have some of them evolved at last. Lets to be honest Ash never used his old Pokemon in when he compete in the Unova, Kalos and Alola League since he always used the same Pokemon on his team and if that wasn't bad enough all his old Pokemon at Professor Oak's lab watch him compete the World Coronation Series on TV instead being selected to battle to against Steven in the Quater final, Cynthia in the semi final and Leon in the final.
I'm guessing that, out of arrogance and laziness, the writers may have proved that Ash does not need his reserves to win and automatically assume it's the best traditional concept ever. In reality, by overusing the disregard of reserves (see Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Alola and World Coronation Series), the traditional concept is now forever seen as the most hated concept of all time because the staff obviously do not know the saying "pride comes before a fall". And then you wonder why Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Crawdaunt, Floatzel, Garchomp, Samurott, Emboar, Serperior, Scrafty, Gigalith, Seismitoad and Annihilape are seen as more suited Pokemon for Ash.
You put a lot of effort into the video Zac.
18:39 how does one get “shipwrecked” riding a water Pokémon?
Not one of the best series in Pokemon, but it could never be any better
Can you rank every world coronation series battle like what you did with the gym battles
I wanted Ash to win against Misty because not only I want Ash to catch a Clauncher but also since he's monarch he needs for as long as he lives-Replies Please
Despite its flaws Journeys is amazing! I mean yeah they messed up a lot like Chloe was worthless, less galar pokemon etc. BUT you gotta admit that ASH became the G.OA.T. in this series..Not to mention Goh and Ash being a good team, Ash being shown Alolan champion and us getting to see all regional champions battle it out in a slugfest to beat Leon. However Ashy boy came on TOP!!! The last battle with the OG theme soundtrack playing in the background was PEAK. Gosh that makes me emotional.
I miss Ash and remember when JN ended we all were shocked to see Ash going forever. Whether you like it or not, The Journey was so so worth it. Forever love.
i feel old cuz it was made 6 years ago and go never caught all pokemon just a little fun fact poor go never catched them all
I’m just happy to see Mewtwo again.
I REALLY WATECHED THIS FOR 5 STRAIGHT HOUR WTF
I like the love people are already giving, even if they haven’t watched the whole video yet, not even a tenth of it.
I think I’m realizing this is a compilation video
Still better than black and white IMO.
Nah, I actually prefer even BW to the gutter trash that is Journeys.
