Man this year was one hell of a ride.

Gen 8 specula and release...
Pokemon being the biggest thing on the planet and the brief return of Pokemania with GO...
A Pokegirl actually winning the Ashbowl Heavyweight Championship from Latias after it's near 15 year reign...Only for Ash to get a harem the very next season.

When it's all said and done, 2016 was a pretty exciting year for Pokemon, wasn't it?
