Either way I'm disappointed to hear you felt that way, but unfortunately for me, that's the general consensus across the internet communities I'm in. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person who still likes the show no matter what changes come its way. Pokecommunity is thus far the only place I've been that still has a decent chunk of anime fans. It's great to be able to talk with them about each episode since it really does feel like the only place where people still like it.

The only other time I've felt like people have come together to celebrate the anime was when he finally won the Alolan League. But even then I saw a bunch of haters saying this is his weakest team yet, he doesn't deserve it, etc. which sorta made it less fun for me.
We didn't get super far into the series, but when my sister last visited, we started watching the Sun and Moon anime and had a lot of fun. I do want to see more of it!
