Pokemon Best Wishes! Season 2

Meloetta arc is what makes this season great. The Unova league part is lame.

In English Version, the season ends at Meloetta arc and serves as a season finale where Ash and his friends fight against team rocket. This has only been done in this season and the previous season.
A more structured season is made instead of just ending it anywhere. This entire arc is well written and fun to watch. Melloetta is adorable. Piplup and Oshawott are even more adorable.

Everything about the league sucks. Ash vs. Trip is a 1v1 battle instead of a full 6v6 battle.
New characters are introduced just before the league. ... One of these characters ends up winning the league. What about all of the characters that worked so hard from the beginning of the series? None of the league battles are memorable.

Pokemon Best Wishes! Season 2 was an interesting ordeal, it focusses on the time after ash has collected 8 of the gymbadges needed to play in the Unova league.

Story:
Well story wise this part of the show is not much different from the indigo league, Ash participates and does not win once again, after the unova league is over the story shifts to meloetta and was not memorable enough for me to write more about it. Therefore I rate it a 6 for being ok, sticking closely to the pokemon formula but still dabble with some kind of plot arrangement.

Art:
The art of pokemon in black and ... white overall has been better than ever! The move animations stick closely to the game counterparts, even improving upon them! The pokemon look sharp and nicely animated as ever, Ash's design is ok, not worse than before but I feel like while he is 10, he looks a lot older in this season. Honnestly would not mind a remake of the original few seasons in this quality... Speaking of which! They show some scenes from the original show, flashbacks, or reminders, which almost seem re-mastered or just made again!

Sound:
I've got nothing special to say here, the soundtracks are great, if you have been watching pokemon like me, I usually put it on in the background while i'm doing housework or alike, the soundtrack for me has started to fade into the background in general.

Character:
Oh boy here we go...
I did not particularly like Iris and Cilan to begin with but it just gets worse with this... Yes in at this point in the series you do get to know Iris a little better, like where she's from and what her "goal" is. Cilan however is just incredibly frustrating, he replaced arguably the best character pokemon had seen, and does so in a smart ass kind of way. I think I'd like the show more if they just left him out as a main character in general, ash's main character-ness has been reduced enough already.
And have you noticed how both Iris and Cilan repeat things so many times??? Its more annoying than team rocket ever could have been, and to be honest, team rocket is actually full of character this season cause they are moving up the corporate ladder.

Enjoyment:
Even though I rated the show a 6, this is purely because of the art improvement. the lack of consistency of the main characters really took a toll on me, hopefully the new mc's in X and Y aren't as bland.

Pros:
- some gym battles,
- artstyle,
- some episodes focusing on side characters can be interesting,

Cons:
- team rocket doesn't have any meaningfull story development,
- Ash trainer skills are the same as in the very first season back in 1997,
- lack of team plasma storyline,
- it feels more like a filler
... - anime directors kinda lost their idea what they want to do with this anime plot,

Overall the anime writers lost their creativity and innovation, and good ideas from the first part of season 1. This is part of the reason why some fans consider this one of most weakest Pokemon anime generation.
