New to the Precure universe, what are your favorites seasons, girls etc. ? =D

Hi pretty Lems! I'm new to the Precure franchise and I have a few questions to begin with :D

-What are your favorite Pretty Cure seasons and why ?

-Favorite girls / mascotts ?

-Favorite transformation scenes ?

-Anything a newbie should know ? (continuity, export versions, controversies / popular debates, movies, merch etc.) ?

-Do you have any Youtube channels recommandations around the show and its derivatives ?

So far I've started A la Mode, Doki Doki and Delicious party (I love my Kome tamagotchi!!), I'm not used to super long seasons anime but it's a great way to relax after work!----
