It was first in November because the, oh so great and amazing, xyz was just ending and that made people upset. It got hate until the Hala arc, but that was short lived. Rockruff's epsiode  and the 3 starter one, was the only really good one. Then, it was looking pretty dull until the 10/10 episode, episode 21, came which made ash catch what would be a lovable and kick ass companion in the form of Litten. Episode 22 was good as well, showing a bond between ash and litten, but then came that dugtrio filler alogn with much more. Litten and Rockruff weren't getting as much awesome development of being  "Next Gen Ash Greninjas", and Rowlet had been reduced to a comic relief that couldn't battle and just stuck there because it was Ash's first alola pokemon. Mnay fans were leaving in favor of Dragon Ball SUper's tournament of power arc, I was a fan of both. Luckily however, episode 30 gave Litten and Rockruff more development, Lana and poplio along with Kiawe as well. Episodes 35, 36, and 37 were the best by far however. Episode 35 gave us hope that Rowlet would become a decidueye and featured Litten as the main star, sadly it didn't evolve into Torracat but its ok. EPisode 36 and 37 gave huge Rockruff development along with it evolving into a new form. The anime had kicked off with Brock and Misty having great battles and then an aether arc. The most recent episode was huge development for Lillie, Gladion, and Ash along with type null, Lycanroc, and Litten. Episode 48 looks not that good however, but it has been teased that Litten will soon evolve so I am happy.

Over all, it started off bad due to reception of fans forma  great season, went back and forth form good and bad, had alot of hope, then a wave of filler that promised to doom the show, but it was saved and is now great again.
