>arsepullSpecifically requested by OLM to not gimp Ash because they weren't giving him a Mega form and were treating Megas as nigh-unbeatable entities, unless when fought with another gimmick powerup (in stark contrast to the games, where type advantages and the rest the battle mechanics still affect monsters that operate in its rulesets)
It's also worth noting they wanted an *actual* Mega Greninja, only to be laughed out he doors by Game Freak and told "you'll get what we give you" which then got retconned out the series because Game Freak weren't keeping arsepull around when they could just give him an *actual* Mega Evolution (still think he should have rocked a M-Herracross, but whatevs).
And sorry to say, Greninja existed before they made an ash fursuit of it. the only time the anime wanted to do something before Game Freak was when the tranny ran things. Because like all trannies, he started huffing her own farts and thinking SHE was responsible for the brand's success. that had existed 14 months before his shit started to air. Since they adopted Lugia, only they create Pokémon though. Meaning they have to give the new cast to the anime studio for them to decide how they want to play and present them. Meaning of course they've created everything released in your lifetime, they mandated that fact years ago.
