>>23196978Pokemon has gradually shifted. Just look at the anime, I've never seen a show so much in denial.
Poffle cooking competitions, Eureka trying to marry her brother off, date episodes and beauty contests(Let's be real, they are beauty contests). Who do they think they are appealing to?
Pokemons episode summarys read like some over 60+ persons show. Half the time Pokemon are just there in the background occasionally to fight Team Rocket as the human characters travel around and go to tourist spots.
