>>30573689That actually didn't stop XY/XYZ from regaining a following from western viewers after LateBF/DP/BW turned most away.
The thing is there isn't much interest from western viewers over SM since it's too different, I think the Disney stunt might have been to try and get people to pay attention despite people who watch the movie and then the SM show on Disney will probably be bummed out from going from action to bootleg Sonic Boom/Looney Tunes Show.
If all else fails they will push SM to a dead spot and air Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn non stop, I mean they aired Destiny Deoxys a few weeks back already.
