>>38518902>he has to lie to himself because he dosn't like being correctedEverything portraying the pokémon world is all just different methods of portraying the same world anon. And with the multiverse being canon and SM giving you not only Ash's Greninja, but also his Pikachu, I'm afraid the anime is now very much canon, which is why this portrayal is just as canon as her game face is (you do know what a game face is? you do have one, don't you?).
