>>51004333I'm saying it was artificially induced by XYfags only when the match was coming up. The 'general populace' wasn't invested in XY or the match. It was just a fuckton of online shilling by XYfags who got ahead of themselves. It wasn't actual 'investment' because that implies all of those people were actually watching and engaged in the rivalry and outcome.
So that's the fundamental issue I'm stating. The 'investment' was inflated by shills. XY wasn't anymore popular or exciting than other series inherently. It was induced by faggots.
In that sense JN isn't less hype than XY. It just has less shills.
>>51004338Yeah and that's what shills used. They posted clips of the anime around the Kalos finals to convince people they should watch the battle. They weren't watching the anime or investing into it beforehand. It was all artificially induced.
