It's honestly time and it'd been time for a long time ago. I'm glad we're getting a mini-series focusing on the end of Satoshi/Ash's journey and focusing on the original core cast. I'm really happy to see that the Pokemon anime can finally try to do something new and bring in an entirely new generation. And while Satoshi did work, I think having an entire reset will help bring upon new concepts and things they can experiment with, without having to rely heavily on Satoshi and Pikachu as a core concept. While the style seems to be keeping things somewhat status quo, there's a lot I feel they can do with a new duo.

I'm hoping for the best. Riko (Rico? Lico? Liko?)and Roy could be a good duo and I'm excited about those possibilities.
