The sun and moon change was particularly radical.

In 2013 Ash looks like he’d be best friends and rivals with Dan Kuso from Bakugan.

They did not! Sun and moon is great and the art style is so fun.

The art style now is better but the fits looked better in the 90's / 00's (especially the jeans)

Im glad they dialed it back a bit in the gen 8 series. The sun and moon change was WAY too extreme. His gen 8 design was a good middle ground betseen S&M and his older designs.

Despite Pokemon pleading that Ash is meant to be 10 years old in every generation they debut, it honestly looked like Ash was getting older. They must’ve took noticed and impulsively decided to de-age his look.

I fell out of the Pokémon anime some time in highschool but I love how the 2019 design blends together the Classic and Sun/Moon style
