>>50333033> W-WHY WERE THE RATINGS SO LOWBecause BW killed any interest people had in the show, and XY took the brunt of its bad reputation. It hard-carried the anime over to whatever measure of popularity S/M had. On top of that, the fan outrage over Kalos is the whole reason WHY your League even got the 'victory' you faggots keep pointing as the one big thing your show has over XY. Yajima revived the show, and Tomiyasu slowly brought it to its knees again with both SM and JN.
> N-NO MUH DP KINO MUH YAJIMA BOGEYMANI love both seasons, and your faggot-ass 'season' is the furthest from DP the show has ever been. Ash is a fucking caricature of himself in SM, and only zoomers who haven't even watched a season of 'old Pokémon' use this retarded talking point. It's a disgusting ripoff of a different show, one that came as a result of this show's retarded execs wanting to ape what they thought was the 'Pokémon Killer'.
Unfortunately, the fad fucking DIED and took the anime along with it. The show wasn't bringing 'DPkino' in at all; it was bringing in Yo-Kai Watch faggotry into a series where it wasn't necessary. It sent Ash back to SCHOOL, and got rid of all the interesting bits from the games it was supposedly based on. Rather than DP and XY, which expanded upon and improved the lackluster villain plots, it fucking NEUTERED them.
And the saddest part? it wasn't even the WORST thing Tomiyasu did to the show, because he followed it up with Journeys; the series where the best things about it are the ones it steals from the previous seasons.
