>>40025433It really isn't that complex, back in the day, the anime used to actually be a big deal and was a pretty good reason why Pokemon managed to have such a success in the west, but unlike the majority of people here, the dropped the anime pretty early on (which isn't even all that difficult since it's literally been more than two decades)
Now that Ash finally won League tournament, all the people that grew up with the anime have real closure and can totally move on, as opposed to most of the people here that still watch the anime and feel underwhelmed by how it actually went down
Just my observation anyway
