>>31096128These threads are dead because if a combination of
>>31096084 and
>>31095949. XY had hype behind it because a lot retards thought thatwas the end of the anime. With the quote 'why introduce a childhood friend if she isn't endgame for Ash' up until the point of losing the league the threads were active by the mere idea of Ash winning it. Also topping all of it the major improvement from bw to xy. Serena's crush also attracted plenty of morons here, if not the main catch of xy. SM isn't doing as well with people here because they are still surprised over the change in animation, tone and series structure. The ratings have been in a decline for a very long time. IIRC the highest ratings in xy were thanks to serena shipbait.
