XY was the lowest selling game in the series. It sold 10 million less than BW. 

Also, the ash-greninja thing was very popular. They wouldn't put it in if they hated it. People enjoyed the XYZ anime so they decided to bring it in. Not like he's as good as regular greninja. I'd rather see ash-greninja than an uber upgrade to greninja(similar to how charizard got 2 amazing megas).

@bolded about legendaries- many of the games focused on the legendary and bonds with Pokemon. I'm surprised how a fan of Pokemon can somehow not care about that at all. it's focused upon so much throughout the games(especially XY, which is how mega evolutions came)

...I have absolutely no idea where you got those XY numbers from. It sold 4 million on its first weekend (4 million is 10 million less than BW), and Nintendo just announced it surpassed BW in sales. Also, the 3DS is the lowest handheld install base Nintendo's ever had.

About Ash-Greninja... it might be popular among 6-year-olds. That doesn't make it any less stupid. It's an alternate form of Greninja that was "created by the bond between him and Ash" (the corny shit already starts there) and supposedly makes them both connect feelings to each other or some crap. It was stupid in the anime, and it's even more stupid in the games. Also, lol "not as good as regular Greninja"... that thing's instantly going to be banned to uber, and maybe even more.

And the legendary thing... well, may I explain more on that.

In the first two generations, the legendaries were just mythical creatures that were there minding their own business. They weren't shoehorned into the story at all. Then, from the third generation all the way to the start of the sixth generation (XY), the main cover legendaries were always meddled into the story, because the villain team always had something to do with them and it was up to you to stop them.

But in OR/AS, you're literally halted midway through your adventure to go to some random island and capture Latios/Latias because it "likes" you or some shit and you're its "chosen one", and then at the end of the game you're rewarded with the thing that lets you fly on them because of your "amazing bond" with them despite the fact that, if you were like me and didn't give a crap about them, you had them boxed from the moment you captured them and never looked back. Then of course there's the Delta Episode, where it's revealed that there's a traditional civilization that had Rayquaza as a sort of guardian, and every once in a while there was a certain person from that place that was chosen by Rayquaza to do some shit... until OR/AS come along and some random 10-year-old kid that's not even from Hoenn (let alone the place where those people lived) is chosen, just because.

All that stuff is just stupid. Mega Evolutions were fine in XY story-wise because they never specified your bond with a certain Pokémon, therefore not making things dumb - it gets dumb when they specify a certain Pokémon and it's one you don't give a crap about and only obtained because the game forced you to.

lol you remind me of the SM3D World haters when the initial trailers released. You have extremely nitpicky criticisms, wait until the game arrives lol.

Also the XY anime is one of the best animes out of the Pokemon series (barring championship episode), and I think Ash-Greninja is a great concept. And so does many other adults, not just 6-year-olds like you claim. Calm down with your assumptions boi.
