>>32429148The more I think about it there's no real reason to hate SM other than the art style change but you can easily get over that if you really wanted to. Ash wasn't reset so he's still pretty competent. Going through the same usual gym quest would be boring since XY pretty much killed all the hype gym battles used to have now that we know we can't expect ash to win a league even when he's got everything going for him. The real problem here are the Lillie fags who spam the same copy pasta every thread trying to force shipping into the discussion when it's not even a plot point this time. I thought I hated Lillie but it's just the association with shit posting that blinded me.
TDLR: remove any and all forms of shipping from these threads and most of the shit posting will disappear
