>>56619540The anime's head guy, Yuyama, made it clear that his philosophy on the goal of "becoming a Pokemon Master" is unattainable, and more about the chase than the actual goal. However, as the meeting notes state, the fans have conflated "Pokemon Master" with "becoming Champion", which meant that in Yuyama's mind, Ash is literally not allowed to win a Championship, because then people will think he's a Pokemon Master, when he isn't.
>Yuyama was fighting with the rest of staff all the way through SuMo's anime to change the planned ending and make Ash lose again.>SuMo's ending was planned in advance to have Ash win as direct damage control to what happened in Kalos.>Production team basically went mutinous and told Yuyama to fuck off, and even then he insisted Ash have a line about how he's not actually a Pokemon Master because everyone involved with this damn franchise is on the fucking spectrum.Does that explain it, Topazbro?
