the entire gen 7 was a disgrace, so the anime based on it was destined to be garbage as well

Also it was the generation right before Alola. Like of course it might be relevant.

>>57972661
More childish is how I'd put it. It's like he reverted back to when he was flabbergasted by learning what genders his pokemon were and how that affects how charm works, even though he already learned the same lesson a few episodes earlier.

SMtards have always been extremely insecure about XY's popularity.

I remember when the go-to defense of SM was "Ash might look like shit but if you just look past that everything else is good", but now it's apparently devolved into "nuh uh SM Ash does look good"

My only guess that leads them not bullshitting themselves is that they watched it enough that the artstyle grew on them to the point that they actually do like it. If not that though, they're probably lying.

The current state of the Pokemon anime is so fascinating to me.
For years fans had been clamoring for the anime to stick closer to the story of the games, it was clear most people only really liked the League plotline and not any of the extraneous shit that got added, and they begged the staff to get rid of Ash and have him replaced with the game characters.
So they release the final Ash season which is probably the furthest deviation from the games we'd ever gotten up to that point, and now the new Liko season is basically OC central with absolutely no correlation with SV beyond a few characters and the Pokemon they use.
They took one step forward and like 50 steps back.

desu Ash's SM design does kind of normalize itself to your brain as you watch, especially if you watch a lot of SM in a row. But still, the instant you see even a screenshot from an older episode, it really hits you how fucking awful he looks in comparison to ANY other Ash.

Pokemon Rebuild movies pretty much.
- new continuity that starts like the old one but deviates as it goes on.

I Choose You, the first gen 7 movie.

First time a movie didn't just use the current Ash design from the TV show. Pretty obvious why.

I still can't believe they wasted a golden opportunity to give Ash the best ending possible. Kalos win + qt french gf would've been so satisfying. Liko arc should've started after X/Y.

How much you wanna bet as well that the new writers are the ones who convinced them to go full Yokai Watch? It's hard to overstate just how astronomical of a fuck-up their decision to cuck Ash out of his happy ending was.

It's a shame that he got fucked over.
He had a clear character arc that stopped with DP, had a retarded reset in BW and was never really the same after that.

XY went full battle shounen with a romance subplot and 2019 turned him into a battle hungry kid to contrast with Gou's catch hungry personality.

Nah, that was definitely TPC. Pretty much every richfag in Japan with stocks in children's entertainment saw how retardedly popular Yokai Watch was and demanded the franchises they had invested in become more Yokai Watch-y because that's clearly what was making money.
