>>57782334In my case, it's 110% because of Ash and by extension, the Team Rocket trio, as to why I never gave the series a shot. As someone who got into Pokémon back during Kanto, I got tired of their antics midway into Johto and fully burnt out by Sinnoh. The change in art style did not do them any favors whereas everyone who came from the Sun and Moon games look fine.
Had it starred Elio and Selene or some OCs, I definitely would've at least watched the first few episodes. I enjoyed XY's Mega Evolution Specials and part of it was because it lacked Ash.
