Damn. What a pile of rubbish. I guess still not the worst disappointment of the year.

 

True, I'd still give that award to Color Splash.

This is the reason I quit on the anime, when BW started. It's not worth my time. I knew the proper building up of Ash/Satoshi be competent is always a troll tactic, to get people who gave up, back. Then slam them with the same loss crap they always do. Losing is not the problem. The fact the show keeps doing it, is.

 

And I don't get why they do this. There's simply no positives to be gained from intentionally pissing off the fanbase, only negatives.

I always found the age mechanic weird. I remeber an old epsiode in the original series where Ash states it been a year since he was last in Viridian City. So it seems in the show that time passes but at certain points characters stop aging.

 

Yeah pretty much. I really wish they woulda done what the Yugioh anime does and have a new protagonist each series.

Pokemon is more about the adventure even though the battles are just as prominent. 

Personally, this does not take away the fact that XY/XYZ is really solid and has provided a lot of fun for me. I haven't been more enthusiastic about the show for a while and I've watched the series since the beginning (though I should replay more of BW to make sure I've watched as much episodes to cover everything since that's the series I've watched the least amount as of now). What Ash has accomplished is nothing short of great. Sure it would've been nice to see him win and I was a bit disappointed at first, but I'm hate being one to be so negative about anything. In the end, it's not gonna ruin my childhood or all that exaggerated stuff that fans might express.

 

The writers trolled us. That's not an exaggeration, it's a fact. I'll still watch the rest of XYZ as I may aswell see it through to the end at this point. That, and to see if the AshxSerena is also just a troll and the ensuing hate storm 2.0 when it is. However the Sun/Moon series I'm likely going to pass on and even encourage others to do the same. They really cannot be allowed to think that they can repeatedly troll their fanbase and get away with it. We cannot just rollover and accept that.
