>>50041852Nigga XY was a fan favorite, literally everyone that were watching the anime prior to SM started is an "XYfag", and unless they started watching with XY, are also a DPfag and most likely an AGfag. There's a reason nobody were throwing these labels around until SM started, SM is the first series that got a fanbase that disliked every other series and was really hostile towards everyone that liked them.
Yes, "XYfags" are the most vocal in downplaying the Alola League because "XYfag" basically just means "someone that liked things that predated SM". It's really just SMfags that are dead set on shutting down any objection to that league "not counting" because of their obsession with getting to claim that SM is inarguably and objectively a good series because Ash won a league in it, as retarded as that claim is.
