>>39467887Kalos had the problem that it was hyped up to be "the one". Ads went on constantly that he's going to win, has his special Greninja against Charizard and so on. They did it to themselves by hyping it up in such a way. Now it just doesn't matter, hell, even if he wins now, it'll only be seen as pity win after Kalos where he should've won trough merit.
