People hate it because:
1. They already hate SM and are only watching the League for things to nitpick and compare to their favorite series.
2. Going along with the first point, doesn't want Ash to win out of spite in favor of their favorite series.
3. "Rowlet was sleeping and that counts as a KO!", even though that was retconned because it was a dumb af rule. No different than the Pokemon being immobilized.
4. "Nanu already made they call!", even though judges also have the power to question decisions and recall.
5. "A League battle isn't the time for comedy relief!", taking this damn children's cartoon way too seriously, especially since they already know SM is a lighthearted and goofy romp.
6. "That's not how Featherdance works!", even though Pokemon have been shown in the past to be able to pull of the same moves differently than others.
7. The only valid complaint: People who legitimately wanted Hau and Decidueye to win because they like the character(s), and the judge's call effectively blueballed them.
