>>55414661Anyone that was actually on /vp/ back in the gen5-8 days knows that the general attitude to the anime as it aired was
>BW anime is shit>early promos for XY anime look great and get anons' attention, leading to the anime actually getting regularly discussed on /vp/>XY, and Serena, are extremely popular. The league loss pisses off a lot of people, but the series is still held in high regard>early promos for SM look like shit and gets heavily mocked>SM is largely shat on throughout its run>league victory is seen as shitty damage control and everyone that actually paid attention to the series knows that the "league" was just a league in name only>PM19 promos look semi-promising, at least better than SM>PM19 somehow turns out to be even worse than SM and is also heavily shat on>world champion bullshit is seen as badly written wish fulfillment crap that makes extremely little sense in-universeNewfags can sit there and revise history for newer newfags all they want, they know goddamn well that XY was well received and SM and PM19 were not. Calling everyone that watched the anime before SM started "XYfags" isn't somehow going to magically make that group smaller.
