>>50311169Winning the league with an unbelivably stupid roster (compared to all the previous diverse top 10 teams he got to use before), with 3 different shillmons against a questionably unpopular rival character on a region that was way past it's spot on the limelight when the episode finally aired is not a good way to send off your protagonist into his biggest achievement yet.
Arguably almost every fan watching that isn't a genwunner that already did that years ago dropped the show after XY, his league win had no true audience, it just felt like a short-term apologie for his premeditated and forced Kalos blunder, that's why i don't get people think that anything that happens in the anime is properly earned when you compare the stakes and the writing to previous seasons it gets obviously painful that shit gets forced.
