>>51041490You have to understand.
XY, as a series, unlike what the corpse of /padt/ with SMaggots and JNiggers tell you here, was such a good series that got people invested in fucking Pokemon. It's the reason why /padt/ exist.
Even normie friends of mine heard about XY.
People got invested. It was almost 20 years for the franchise itself, no league or gyms for next gen. Everyone thought that was it.
Ash losing to Alain made THE biggest shitstorm and meltdown pokemon had in fucking years untill the whole natdex shit. It was that big. You had animators, writers and Rica herself fucking complaining on twitter (which nip culture doesn't really approve so it's a very big deal). Most of the seniors fucked off after the series.
They trying to damage control it since then.
