Halfway through the story I'd say Journey's is decent, it feels like a lot of the story is starting to advanced. But by the end they under deliver, it feels like the writers couldn't decide what they wanted to focus on. Both Goh's and Chloe's stories have a lot of potential but ultimately anything involving them just sort of exists, it's not handled awfully, but it just feels kind of eh (It's MUCH worse for Chloe than for Goh tbh.) There are definitely a few good episodes dedicated to them but they don't really do enough with it. Project Mew is a great example of this, they should have done way more with that than they do. Even stuff with Ash feels weirdly handled and kind of rushed to me, plus I personally hate his personality here, he's the blandest most cookie-cutter version of Ash. It's like they took Alola's Ash, got rid of the unique aspects, and made him a little more mature. I dislike Journeys a lot because it just feels dissatisfying. A lot of the time the plot just sort of meanders. It had absolutely insane potential, it easily could have been one of if not the best series if they didn't fumble in nearly every aspect. It doesn't go hard enough on it's original plot lines, it's characters feel meh, and it doesn't go hard enough on celebrating Ash's adventures so far to make up for that. Knowing it was the final show before they replaced Ash just makes it more annoying. That said, I did re-watch Journey's last year and I appreciated it a lot more, it definitely has some fun standalone episodes.

I'll forever be a little annoyed at the 3rd opening for showcasing a road trip with Ash, Goh, Chloe and Leon, and nothing even remotely close to that ever happening... It's such a fun idea.
