Everyone still loves him, but there's a few oldfags that are jaded from the Pixiv/edgy Red posts.

C'mon anon. It's not hard to figure out.

He's popular, therefore 4chan dislikes him. At the end of the day, we're all just contrarians trying so hard to stand out.

He's canonically stronger than any other protag, literally because GF says so.

Because this board is full of underage anti-genwunners who need to get back at the genwunner boogiemen.

Eh, he's pretty strong. GF never says he's the strongest. They just recognize he's strong and that's it.

I dont get it either.

Yeah, tumblr and deviantarts version of him/the shipping with Blue is annoying but as far as his actual character goes he's just a silent kid who wanted to catch them all and be the best.

He's also literally only had 2 canon appearances after the events of Gen 1

Contrarianism.

Personally I find all the protag wars pretty pointless when ultimately they're just stand-ins for the player.

HGSS, BW2 and SM. That's 3. And all of those are postgame.

You forgot to add that he's hot.

He in universe is a powerful trainer, but its never said that he's the strongest.

Hell, Hilbert/Hilda going by unused data were going to be rumored to be the strongest trainer of all.
