While agree its shit (seriously after all these years Pikachu can still lose to a starter Pokemon's first battle) it seems popular enough... oh and Nintendo have very little to do with the anime.
If you want to draw in an older teen to adult crowd the best way to go would be something like Black and White's game story... seriously WTF was XY, complete bullshit after what BW pulled off. Also a video game =P Because the anime is really a giant advert for the game and merch

lol I took a 3 region break. I never watched Diamond and pearl Sinnoh or Unova. I don't mind the current season though.

And I thought you was about to list the region lock, lack of genre diversity or their youtube policies..

While we are at it lets call the Youkai Watch anime the stupidest thing Level 5 are doing =P

I watched parts of it and while good, if it is the best one it makes me sad for how they adapted BW game into the anime (which I never watched)

What? The XY Animé is soo much better then what it was before. Now that the animé is good, you don't need to change it!

I've been meaning to watch it simply because it has Pachirisu!

Nah i am glad it sucks. Already got enough good anime to watch and so little time.

Come now Chris, surely this isn't the stupidest

I haven't watched the show in years. Like, 12 years

I kinda gave up, I found the show to be repetitive and the main character is a complete failure xD
