>20th Aniversary.
>Budget thrown into the animation so it looked better than most seasonal crap.
>Literally everyone in the series looked up to him, a canonical waifu lusting after him even.
>They even went far as to give him a special synchro evolution thing that's not even in the games yet.
>Spending the whole of XYZ building up an arc of memefrog and Ash's bond.
All that fucking hype and thematic building up, would've made perfect sense for him to win this time around. Plus with the GO nostalgia normalfags it would've brought them more viewers.
But no, they had to keep to the 2 decade old status quo just because.
Gonna go kill myself lads.
