>>32650360>Yo kai routinely beat Pokemon xy and xyz in ratingsEven if ratings really mattered for your "muh gen is better than yours" shitposting, you forgot the part where Yokai Watch's demise was well underway Pokemon while XY/XY&Z was still on the air. During XY&Z, Pokemon even started beating out Yokai Watch on some occasions. The statement that SM is somehow the driver behind Yokai Watch's demise or that SM is somehow "better" than XY&Z is unfounded.
But I guess retards are going to be retards and keep their heads in the sand and pretend the numbers say something that they don't actually say.
TV ratings are such a crude metric that they can't be used as an indicator of how a show's being received. They only tell you how many happen to watch on their TVs live, something that can vary depending on what time a show airs, what day it airs, among other factors.
Pokemon was doing fine during XY and XY&Z in terms of raw numbers, and it's still doing well during SM. But you won't find me trying to make the case that one season is "better" than the other based on those numbers.
