>>44455456Most of the surface level fanbase whose knowledge is almost exclusively the anime up to the 3 movies are obnoxious wannabe purists who can't seem to grasp that Pokémon's done more better and interesting shit.
Yes, we get it. Pokémon isn't what you remembered 22 years ago.
We know you feel cheated that the coomer fans are about the Skylas and Marnies and not the Giselles and Jeanette Fischers or that Misty isn't the only show in town.
We know you're shocked Ash won a league that wasn't the Orange Islands.
We know that you don't recognize Ash's current team and why he isn't flaunting Charizard and Snorlax everywhere.
What you remembered 22 years ago isn't coming back because you're not the target audience anymore and the series has an obligation not only to plug new Pokémon but to show Ash has interest in MORE Pokémon than what you think he should stick to. Either go with the flow or move on.
