I had always thought that, personally, the whole “Pokémon Master” thing was really quite vague and so one day I went up to the show’s supervisor, Mr. Kunihiko Yuyama, and asked him “So what does Satoshi’s "I wanna be a Pokémon Master!” dream mean, exactly?“ His response? "It’s just the silly dream of a child. It’s something for him to idolize.”

So, canonically, there is no deeper explanation to it. It’s exactly like Takeshi Shudo’s novels have explained it: a dream with no end goal. And honestly, it’s works well to keep Satoshi relevant for years to come while he works on becoming the Master he believes it to be like.

Same interview also briefly mentions how Satoshi is smiling more, Daiki Tomiyasu mentioning it to be partly due to finally winning and earning the title Champion:

Up until very recently Satoshi had always been the “challenger” but then, in the previous series Sun & Moon, he went and got himself his first win in the Alola Pokémon League. So he was just a bit gloomy about never getting himself a title but now that he has one he feels more at ease and can relax, maybe…?
