I figured out who's responsible for all the problems in the Pokemon anime! It's not Max, it's not any of Ash's companions, it's not even Ash himself!
Ever since Kanto, there have been occasions where the world of the Pokemon anime is a͖̗l̷̹͎t͓̤̬͉e̫͖r҉̮͔̙͔͓̰͓e͇̥̝͚d̼͎̳̀ in some way. Personalities getting changed, characters popping in and out of existence, history being ̵͇̱͙̠͉̗̪ṟ̛̪̤̖e̲͍͔̲w҉̖̭r͚̯̺͖͕̗it͖̺̻̭t̨͔̰̭͎͕͎e̬͈n̛͔͚̖̜ͅ, et cetera. I believe that this is the work of a being that has been there all along, but has never made its presence known, at least not yet. Its very presence has been known to cause ̸͇̲d̡̤i̻̥͇s̙̙̘͟t̴o̭͈̬̪̞̳ṛ̰̠͓t̶̮͔̹i̝͎̞̳͞o̖̦n͍̹̙͈̤ in the fabric of reality.

That's why Ash never ages, that's why he never wins a league, that's why the same series of events keep repeating themselves. The true villain of the Pokemon anime isn't Team Rocket, it isn't Gary Oak, it's ̵͟҉̢̙͖͎̼̭͚M̴̡҉̣̮̝̤̻̙̘͖̣̟͙̟̲ˆ̷̷̝̙̙͈̹̘̞͚͎̜̩̀ß͘͝҉̻̱̤̗̜̫̠̺̥͡Í͔̳̝͍̮͠͝͠͞ˆ̛̬̭̤̹͞˜̢̨͖͎̜̺̩̘̞̯̲̰̹̩̗̹̞̙͈͚©̡̬̯͎̬̹̖̩̯̭̻̕͞˜̷̡̢̙͖̻͙̝̭̣̪͡ͅơ̜̫̬̬͉̮̙͖̦̻

>le Missingno. meme xDDDD
That glitch shit isn't even relevant to this franchise anymore, and Gamefreak clearly doesn't even acknowledge its existence.
I don't know why people still keep clinging to it.

They need a reason to live anon.
>>29349074
They're called writers anon.

They missed a chance of making Missingno an UB.
