Mmm... I found flaws in it, but I really didn't find it that bad. It certainly still feels very much like Pokemon to me, just a brand new saga. They always make one of the characters go stupid for the first few episodes :re catching Pokemon, and it seems this time it was Ash's turn again. I guess Iris is supposed to be too smrat to do something silly like that? :P
I can't believe what they did to TR, tho. Making them give up Mime Jr., Seviper, and Wobb? That's just plain wrong. James doesn't even seem that heartbroken by it and he loved Mime Jr. to pieces! D: I get why the writers decided to get rid of their Pokemon, but how they did it just seems so contrived and cheap. At least Jessie's already caught a new Pokemon.
I'm not fully convinced yet that TR won't return to their usual ways after the first few initial episodes, so I'd just wait for a bit and see. I don't mind their characters being a bit darker-ish, and the new TR logo is pretty smexy, but I'd hope they'd at least keep their goofy/lovable personalities.
