it seems that there are 2 factions inside the pokemon anime team
first off yajima was a rouge director who definitely went against a lot of previously established lore and information we can see this in how isolated xy is within the anime series they never stepped out of bounds when it came to anything outside of kalos
>"the lore people" people inside the team who want to undo the harm that yajima has done with xy and return to what was already planned beforehand these people are against all of the major changes that yajima has made to the series, we can see this in how MANY aspects of xy have been changed or reconned within the following series (SM,JN) with JN having the major changes, serenas retcon and what seems to be them changing ashfrog (it was the aroua the whole time) if anything it appears that this group is on dawns side
>"yajimas people" yajima and a writer (who now I believe has left/retired) and a few animators (also left after xy) who wanted the anime to head in a different direction many left after xy ended due to discontent with what had happen
one this is DEFINITELY certain they don't want serena back they did everything they could to hide her
>no promotion
>no merch
>no ads
>nothing in the previews
>no VA interviews(untill day before)
>mag the day before
>either retconned the crush or she grew out of it (growing out of it would seem better for her character)
>wallance gag to keep ash away
>VERY fast meet with nothing of note in dialogue
>no ribbon
>GETTING A NONSHIPPER writer to write the ep even though a proshipper writer ask(they were denied) the writer of the ep also wrote kennys lighthouse ep)
AND FINALLY
>CHANGEING THE EP AIR DATE EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD MESS UP TRs ANNERVERY
they even made sure to tie serena down so she can't come back (idol team with lisia)
after xy they even kicked yajima to the movies instead of anything important with the show
>AG is retconned from flashbacks and does not appear again
>alain is nerfed
