What was the biggest (non-GO) thing to happen to Pokemon in 2016?

>>31114120
SM

>>31114120
I disagree, it's one of the best events i have witnessed in pokehistory

S/M
But that is the definite number 2, and still my favorite thing that happened all year. 100+ threads instantly.

SM release

We got a new generation. No matter what else happened this year it will fade but the Pokémon introduced this year will be around for the rest of the series.

Sorry, wrong thread. For the record, I do agree though

>>31114131
First post best post. Release of a new main series game>anime used to advertise said series
Your opinion on the new gen is irrelevant, SM was bigger.

at least Ash-Greninja is in the games.
I granted him his victory he deserved.

>>31114120
Why is this even remotely relevant?

>>31114658

i will always be salty until the dat i die

>>31114746
Because after beating the holy crap out of Diantha's Mega Gardevoir there was a legitimate reason to believe that Ash could have won the league after 20 years.

>>31114767
Get over it, just a lost that you can forget as time pass.

>>31114735
Yeah i mean others are still butthurt their furry waifu is still shit.

>>31114658
That motherfucking /tv/ dumbledore meme

The RBY re-release must be somewhere in the Top 5

>>31114773
And that translated to Ash winning?

>>31115001
Is Generations now over? It was said to be 18 Episodes

>>31115112
Unfortunately it is. It would've been nice to have Alola episodes to make it all come full circle

>>31115112
Yes, it's over.
