Oh, I thought in terms of ratings. As for quality, it's hard to take it seriously with Ash not aging at all, and pikachu being unable to beat weak pokemon after all that training. Ash also seems to lose his abilities as a trainer randomly, which makes it impossible for me to watch. Then again I haven't watched it in ages so maybe it got better, but I doubt it.

Pokemon always gets good ratings in japan, like Detective Conan or One Piece level. And the quality hasn't changed. I'm watching XY and it's the same from 10 years ago.. so yeah

I guess it depends on perspective. Ash is more competent now. Just yesterday, he almost beat Diantha's Mega evolved Gardevoir with Ash Greninja. Serena seems to have taken a much more realistic approach as she started out not really knowing what she wanted to do (which is true for most people growing up). The battle animations are much better compared to previous seasons and the main characters are getting more fleshed out.
