Can we stop with this
"THE ASHNIME IS CANON BECAUSE ASH GRENINJA IS IN THE GAME" meme.
It's not funny. And if you're being serious, then kys.
Ash Greninja is non-canon DLC.
>>32234806
Proof?
>>32234811
There is none
>>32234811
I don't need to prove to you that 2+2 = 4. It's common sense.
Yes, is non-canon.
>>32234811
No Pokedex entry. No mention of it by any NPCs. Obtainable only via a non canon Demo. All signs point to it being non canon.
>>32234815
>makes a claim
>refuses to provide proof
ok
>>32234825
see
>>32234823
There's your proof.
Plus, many of the game's events conflict with the anime. They just don't work! Fitting a cube in a square hole!
>>32234823
nah
It's my headcanon that the ashnime, manga, and games all take place in different alternate universes. Are greninja came to the game universe through a hyper wormhole.
Every single piece of Pokemon media is canon, they're all just different universes in the multiverse, just like every single playthrough of every single version of mainline is canon.

>Bonnie
The anime is not canon mmmh
>>32234806
Actually the anime is canon... To the anime.
>>32234840
I hope you know that Bonnie is canon. : )
>>32234843
There are some autists who believe that the anime's canon fits in with the game's canon. All the events in the anime apparently have happened in the games.

Currently the evidence is against you. Ash-Greninja and Ash-Pikachu present strong arguments for the anime residing in the same canon as the games, as does Pokemon Yellow and the canon status of name-cries. Unless you can provide evidence against this we have to consider your claim moot.

>implying Pokemon Yellow is canon.
: )
>>32234898
>another baseless claim with no evidence or real counter argument
You sure showed him
>>32234894
Well provide evidence FOR it first.
You can't even do that!
>>32234894
Yellow doesn't line up with the anime. Red's canon team (as in, when Red appears in later games) is comprised of freebie Pokemon you get from playing Yellow. And Red isn't ash.

No Gunk Shot, no deal
Only thing Protean has over Autism-Gren outside of Spikes immunity shenanigans.

The fact that the games has a counterpart to Ash from the anime doesn't mean that the anime itself is canon. It just means that the games has their own Ash. One we haven't met.

Ash was based on Red, you dunce. And the anime can't be canon since it doesn't even obey type matchups like ground being immune to electric and the fucking dodging

>I haven't watched it since the 90s, but act like I know what I'm talking about: the post
Let me guess, you also think Ash gets constant pity badges, too?
There is only one way to settle this. If it survives to the next game, it is canon. If not, we can forget it ever happened. How does that sound?
>>32235650
>implying game mechanics are canon
How old are you?
>>32236091
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THE GAMES ARE IRREFUTABLE CONSTRUCTS OF MAN. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE REALITY, THEN KILL YOURSELF
>>32234806
This. It's just cute nods towards the anime as usual.
Like Steven talking about his battle with Alain, even though the events of that arc completely contradict ORAS's and XY's storylines.
>>32234806
its canon, but in the demon
demo =/= main SM game
>>32235650
Gameplay mechanics aren't canon.
Pokemon obviously don't just stand around and take turns hitting each other.
>>32234806
If a pokemon exists in the anime and in the game it is are canon, example: Greninja
