I Loooooovvvvee Gen 5. I feel it shows that no matter how much time has passed or what has happened between Gen 4 and Gen 5, Friendships will form no matter what. I see the new main six still learning the outside world after being apart for so long and only in their homes of Maretime Bay, Bridlewoods, and Zephyr Heights. They are relearning friendship in their own way. Mysteries to uncover of the past, stories to be heard from those who lived long enough to tell or from stuff left from the past to find, exploring lands of familiarity, yet different, and more. So what if they did some stupid mistakes. They are learning. Yes, they knew someone was after the magic that has returned, but how could they focused all their attention on that when they were still figuring out how their magic works and how it grow and evolved while it was sealed away. Also, you can't really blame some of the mistakes the new main six made when the gen 4 main six did something similar here and there. Not as many because gen 4 had free magic, was able to travel to MANY places, and half the time knew to try to understand the situation. They were also learning. Just like with other shows, give them a try and if you don't like it then don't watch it. Leave the watching to those that do like it. I give both Gen 4 and Gen 5 a five star rating! Friendship triumphs through time!
I will not debate or reply to replays, if any, if you agree or not on this. Though seeing your opinions for my words are still welcomed, being nice or not.
