Because the kids love it, and it generates money.

In XY, it was just because the anime staff wanted Greninja to be Ash's mega evolution Pokemon, but Gamefreak didn't want it for whatever reason. They compromised by giving Greninja a pseduo mega evolution.

The idea probably went over well enough that it'll be a new tradition.

OS gave Ash a unique starter and then all three starters for no reason. The precedent for Ash getting special treatment for Pokemon has existed since the beginning. Battle Bond Greninja is said in-show to have happened before, meaning it's rare but not unique. Dusk Lycanroc is likely going to be a form that's accessible with just as much ease as Midday and Midnight.

Don't be mad that Ash is trendy.

The anime staff confuse me. They are alright with Ash saving the world, befriending legendaries, and receiving his own super-special awesome mon, but believe him winning a league would make him too amazing apparently. I mean, we know that winning a league means shit in the grand scheme of things, so what's the problem?

The real reason is just because they've gone two decades without letting him win a league, so it's going to be a big, big deal when he actually does. They probably feel like they have to save that moment for a special occasion, since they can only make Ash win his first league once.

Remember that trainer who kicked Ash's ass with a Blaziken in the Johto league?

Or why they never had a third-party developer (like with Mystery Dungeon) make a spin-off game based on the Orange Islands.

Animators and writers wanted Ash to win in Gen VI, but executives ended

I remember the nip director even tweeted about it, something about crushing kids dreams. Honestly Gen VI was the place to do it.

A game based around the Orange Islands would be dope, especially if there was some plot point involving the Crystal Onix

With whom was Greninja more popular than Charizard? I may be blinded by nostalgia, but there's no way that kids could ever consider another Pokémon as awesome as kids my age considered Charizard

From what I remember, there was a japanese poll for favorite pokemon which Greninja won. Though, I doubt Greninja is as popular worldwide as Charizard.

A number of polls on globallink in multiple regions (distinctions between nipland and the states are what I specifically remember) had greninja ranked above charizard, in nipland I believe he was number 1. Someone probably has screenshots still. I also faintly remember pokenchi or whatever that one nip show is called had a poll that listed greninja above charizard in popularity.

because at some point, people started to not buy the "muh starter is speshul but it's still just a regular starter which doesn't justify it being speshul" stuff, so they instead decided to make ash's pokemon real speshulsnowflakes
