I agree with most points. Tracey was crap. Max was crap. Jhoto was waay too long. & new voices killed + new team rocket theme killed the show.
I watched less than half of Jhoto cause it was too long & less than half of Hoenn cause Max is just too annoying.
But i started watching some of the latest season, & it's actually not half bad. Like things actually happen during episodes now instead of just meeting a new pokemon & that's it. I would say it's the best season since the Kanto region.
