XY was a terrible series that severely undermined the tone of the anime and tried to appeal to people who wanted it to "Grew up" and "Be a real anime"

I know this because that is how XY fans describe it themselves. For them the idea of an "Anime" is just shonen, so copying shonen tropes legitimizes Pokemon. This entire series was a mistake from start to finish, everything in it was done better in other franchises.

>>59660778
Ash greninja was only created because the anime people wanted the Kalos starters to have megas but game freak didn’t want to because they didn’t consider the Kalos starters important enough to get mega, so the anime made Ash Greninja (which game freak added to the games since Greninja was the shill starter so it was allowed to have something extra)
However Game freak randomly decided to change their minds in ZA and promote the entire Kalos starters trio to and give them megas (proving that the bootlickers are retards and whether or not something is a shilmon has nothing to do with popularity). So Ash Greninja wasn’t needed so it got retconned out of existence forever

Has Alain also done a number on you too?
>>
Ash Greninja has always been an awful design
>>
> Please forget about Ash-Greninja , I do not want my Alain to lose. I already have to make my precious Alain lose to Leon to make him one of the Master Eight. I can not just watch my Alain lose anymore than this ............... . to that Ash. I do not want a rematch where my precious Alain job to Greninja , that's why I removed Greninja and haven't shown a single Greninja except Ash's one time in the show after XY&Z series even though it is the most popular Kalos Pokemon.. I am begging you, please , please , leave my Alain alone.

This is what they meant.

Ash, Pokemon XY and Greninja were a mistake

Ash-greninja was supposed to be a SM/USUM exclusive, but the bank fuck it all up. Battle bond no longer works from gen 8 and beyound, so the anime have retcon its existence to minimize confusion with new players.
>>
>>59661379
You know if they wanted it to "be exclusive" they would have made it so? They stopped kids transferring an OC Pichu in Gen 4, you can't transfer your raid-on 'Raidon into Home. You can't move your Partner Pikachu/Eevee into Home either.
Not only did they want it to be transferable, they did so with the knowledge and intent to cull the arsepull. Because they knew they'd need to get Kalos starter megas done, given the reaction to the lack of them in Gen 6 and knew they weren't bothering to add it to SS.
>>
>>59660778
They probably already had Mega Greninja in mind, so they told the anime staff to delete everything about trAsh Greninja
>>
>>59661386
The thing is that bank was meant to transfer Ash-Greninja between SM and their Ultra conterpart; but the Home transfer from the bank kinda includes it for some reason. Hell, it wasn't supposed to have a dex entry there but they did it anyway with no foresight what so ever.

>you can't transfer your raid-on 'Raidon into Home
If you could then riding it would basically be inaccessible unless you transfer it back.

It's an anime tie-in that has no place in the game's canon. There's no Ash/Satoshi in the games, it doesn't make sense for there to be an Ash Greninja form. GameFreak did it because they had to and when it stopped being relevant they yeeted it into the stratosphere.

>Deliberately missing all the Satoshi's Pokemon giveaways that have been done in the past

I know that, you ignore the point. they COULD have locked arsepull da forg to SM/USM. But they wanted to break from that and the best way? Move it through, then kill its effects and form. Because they had a Mega Greninja cooking and didn't want the arseache of dealing with an expy of a tv character that's retired.
>>59661394
Because they intended to kill it, you fucking retard child. They wanted it gone, it was another Lugia only better as they didn't have to add it to their series and keep it the fuck in, because the tv show writer was an egotistical tranny huffing his own farts as to why the cartoon was being sold worldwide. Yujima demanded a Mega Greninja when he decided to not use any Ash's old team (who could ME) and Game Freak told him "stick it, it's not in our lore" and came up with that as a compromise. Knowing that the series would roll on, time would pass and they could smother the abomination and throw it in the incinerator.

Ash/Satoshi exists in the game universe kid. He's just so irrelevant to Game Freak and their vision of the series, the only time he shows up is when he clones one his pokémon for giveaways.
>>
>>59661410
>>59661425
The point is that Ash is no longer a factor in Pokémon now that he retired; it's Horizons from here on out and even they get replaced by a new series for Gen 10.

Gamefreak could do a patch that remove Battle bond from Greninja and erase the dex entries for promotional formes from Home: yet they did not.
>>
>>59661440
Not to mention they still throw Ash-Greninja artwork into official art books and resources.
