>>31245509A ton of the praise you animefags piled onto XY was because of some misguided belief that it would lead to a league victory, and anytime people told you that it wasn't going to happen you labelled them trolls and shitposters.
It's okay that they don't show Ash training on-screen and that he just mentions it most of the time, because he's good this season and he'll win the league.
It's okay that they underdeveloped his travelling friends (especially Clemont), because this time the show is Ash-centric and he'll definitely win this time.
It was okay they skipped half the league, because Ash will win.
Then he lost and you guys are trying to damage control the fact that you kept annoying everyone else on the board (and some people on boards other than /vp/ for good measure) about how great XY was because it was leading to an Ash win.
Yeah it had some decent animation during battles too, maybe that would matter a lot more if gym battles happened more than once every 15 episodes or so.
