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.

Im not talking about them being an exaggeration. I'm talking about the negativity and reaction after the fact. You can talk about the idea of being trolled all you want, but trying to be negative on Twitter, especially on Ash's long-time VA Rica Matsumoto, or saying it ruined your childhood and all that stuff is overblown to me. I personally was initially disappointed but I got over it quickly because in the end they both fought hard and I already knew it could go either way based on each other's previous experiences. Alain's Mega Charizard X is no slouch and has fought multiple Megas before and I cannot doubt Ash's bond with Greninja. It's fine if you want to convince others to not watch the series, but you can exclude me from that since I still plan to watch as long as I see it being fun for me to watch. Again, personal opinion so no offense.
