>>57275050>The ratings were already suffering since the kalos league fiascoPokémon had same or higher ratings than Precure even during SM series. It was JN series where ratings tanked after they introduce an OC named Goh and tried to promote woke propaganda on Japanese children.
Unfortunately they learnt nothing and decided to make AN ENTIRE SERIES OF NEW OC while removing Ash when it was painfully obvious that it was the new unlikeable OC like Alain and Goh that was killing the ratings. Its as if their fragile ego can't accept that their OC sucks and deluded themselves into thinking Ash magically making their OC flop even though they would have flopped even without Ash.
