The majority of XYfags are mostly Ash self-inserters which is why they always say XY is the peak of Anipoke and Ash was at his best there when he's nothing more but a boring stock shounen hero who's actually just a chump who still doesn't know about type advantages but he gave the self-inserters the illusion that he was competent
Or when they say Serena is the best girl because her sole purpose is to dickride the boring shounen hero aka Hinata/Orihime/etc. It's VERY telling that XYfags happens to be shounenshitters displaced after Naruto cause XY aired after Naruto Shippuden ended and the shounenshitters had to preoccupy themselves with something to fill the void
Also, Ash self-inserters want Pokémon to basically just be DBZ and the anime leaned into that with that bullshit Battle Bond form. They don't want Pokémon, they want a battle shounen anime that uses Pokémon's skin. If they want something that's close to a battle shounen with Pokémon then you go to Digimon which is actually a shounen and not a kodomo anime
