Would you have preferred the final battle with Alain if Charizard had returned and it had come down to MegaZard X vs Y and Ash-Greninja not existed?
At least theres precedent for Charizard returning and a Mega isnt quite as special-snowflake-asspull as Battle Bond.
And at least thatd make it reasonable when he loses (zard X quad resists fire)

No.
I want to see Ash's Zard win, not lose after all the training it has done.
And Ash's loss was reasonable. The only unreasonable part of that battle was the fact that Ash stood a chance at all and didn't get everything OHKO'd.
Ash is a cuck
>Yajima wanted to make the bond between Ash and Greninja a major part of the story, but felt it would be difficult to do so if it had to remain a Greninja, so he went to Game Freak, and they came up with the idea of a synchro transformation. It was put in Sun/Moon afterwards, but was created during this discussion between anime staff and GF.

why does the anime ruin everything?

what a shit writer
>>31959756
Pretty clear hes a shit writer when side characters are more likable than the protagonist
greninja was a mistake
Ash-Greninja was easier to write out at the end of the series then it would be to make an excuse for Ash to throw out a mega ring.
I didnt watch the episode but no matter how i picture it going. Releasing Greninja made the whole season pointless with the friendship thing.

Because he bought X
Because XY was allergic to past continuity. They made a reference to Dawn's Piplup and that's it.
>Even Best "Reboot, All-New Adventure in a Foreign Land" Wishes had way more continuity than XY.
