Considering that it consistently ranks in the top 10 of animated shows in Japan, I'd say yes.

>>32963278
Yeah, some still do. Glad I dropped it, this show is an insult to my free time as NEET. Can't believe how someone would want to waste time on a season such as SM.

Japanese don't care about ashnime anymore. Just search the general ashnime thread on Japanese 2ch. It's almost dead.

I don't think so.

Pick one, each gen is a separate show

>>32963278
Absolute trash and a poor excuse for a Pokémon anime. They barely even battle. Fucking what?

>>32963278
considering they still watched it during BW, it's not surprising they are still watching it, it's not as bad at the very least

>>32963278

>Show has been on the air for 20 years with no sign of stopping
>"Do people still watch this show?"

The question was answered before you even asked it.

>>32963302

It's almost like it's consistantly big among children or something.

>>32963278
I don't because subs are taking forever for some reason.

>>32963302
Yeah because 5-10 year olds are in forums talking anime

>>32963278
The animators dedicate more of their time to memefaces rather than actual battles like XY, DP, etc.

At least BW had some good battles. I can barely remember what happened in the Ash VS Hala battle besides both of them using their Z-Moves

t. assblasted SMcuck. You're so pathetic.

>>32963361
There are more meme faces than there are battles in SM

Like if you go on google images and search "Pokemon sun and moon anime faces" you'll see what I mean

Then type in "Pokemon sun and moon anime battles" and most of the time you'll get battles from the actual game or fanart rather than battles from the anime. Because there barely are any

>>32963278

The show has a high audience turnover rate.

The people that watched XY might not be watching anymore, but that doesn't matter since they've been replaced by a new audience.

Yajima is a hack of a director who outright lied to his audience, no wonder they replaced him.

>>32963380
The rating ratings are better than shit fest x and y

Just because man Childs are not talking better on message boards anymore doesn't mean it's irrelevant.

It means they have new audience dummy

Serena kissed Ash in the end. That's the farthest any other girl has gotten who wasn't a Pokemon.

She won. The end. Fuck off.

>>32963454
>Serena kissed Ash in the end.

And she will never be seen again, so everything is right back at square one.

The show will go on for another 20 years and by then, no one will remember Shitrena.

I've been watching it since it fucking started and haven't stopped out of some stupid sense of obligation.
I know it's shit.
But I can't help myself.

>>32963480
No one defended it. It was universally hated.

And guess what? Yajima is the one who directed the 20th anniversary movie that everyone is jacking off to. Faggot.

Nostalgia

No one will ever be nostalgic for Serena, hell, she's already been forgotten by all but the most dedicated AmourShitters.

>>32963488
Similar to the games and the train on videos

>>32963511
>No one will ever be nostalgic for Serena, hell, she's already been forgotten by all but the most dedicated AmourShitters
That's not true at all. Serena still gets a bunch of fanart every single day from both nips and western audience. She's not going anywhere and still fresh in everyone's mines. The same can't be sad for the shitty SM cast that is butchering best girl Mallow.

>>32963302
So Why does it exist?

>>32963506
Trials involve battling.

>>32963530
Lillie way more popular than Serena was in Japan

Lana more popular than Serena in Japan

>>32963530

Nobody liked Serena (as a character anyway) for the XY's first 40 or so episodes, because she was useless and did nothing. Serena as a character isn't popular, AmourShipping is.

Serena had by far the worst start of any main girl. It's fucking sad that Lillie had developed more, accomplished more, and shown more competence as a trainer than Serena did in less time.

>>32963564
Lillie too

>>32963564

Sorry if i offense the shonenfags.
I like it, has good animation, the Pokemon have a lot of personality and i enjoy this kind of shows

>>32963590
That's another good point.
Heck now the characters aren't fucking cheerleaders.

Not a fan of either of them, but expand on that, please.

>>32963614
Don't know if we'll see the rest get their crystals, and if they are, maybe the writers could end up creating a league and one of Ash's companions win it.

>>32963568
>It's fucking sad that Lillie had developed more, accomplished more
This is not true at all.

Serena's whole shtick in the beginning was that she was a new trainer who had no idea what she should aim for, so she just went along and experienced new things hoping to find something that fits her. She experiencing battling, grooming, fishing, acting, modeling, and add to the fact that she was already an experienced chef and at Rhyhorn Racing. She built up enough confidence to break out of her shell and do what her responsibility as a trainer was to do, which is train and bond with Pokemon. And then by episode 40 she had an established goal and her story got better from there on out. Hell she had already made two rivals before even knowing what the hell she was going to do as a goal.

Lillie on the other hand is just autistic. Her goal is to be comfortable enough to touch Pokemon, which is fucking retarded. Especially when by the 14th episode she had done just that. What did she develop and accomplish? Touching more Pokemon? No, that is stupid. They literally had no idea what to do with Lillie even though she had her own story and character arc in the games that they could've easily adapted to the anime instead of muh "can't touch Pokemon" and none of the characters even care enough to ask "why?"

>shown more competence as a trainer than Serena did in less time.
While Pikachu was getting its ass kicked by Oricorio she literally did not know what the fuck to do. She had the same "What would Ash do" moment Serena had, but instead of making strategies on the fly like Serena did, Lillie literally just left it up to Pikachu to get the job done while she called attacks. She told it to use Thunderbolt on an Electric-type. What?

Lilliefags are the cancer killing this board

>>32963504
it was really active during xy

>>32963713
He said Serena is bigger than any of ash friends In sun and moon

It's not true. Whether you like lillie or not. She was way more popular

>>32963614
good point
but not the good way to do it

what about Satoshi?
nearly didn't battle at all
he should be the one doing the trials

Stop caring about what people do or do not watch

>>32963736
No one said that.

Daily reminder XY's ash team were a bunch of shitters carried by pikachu

people complained about BW's ash team when the XY one was the same shit

>>32963713
>Especially when by the 14th episode she had done just that

Only with her own Pokemon.

>>32963380
>haha KEK, my insult has invalidated your argument. another debate won :^)

>>32963778
The only jobber on Ash's XY team was Goodra and that's because Ash took it to the League after having not trained it for the entire second half of the rest of his journey through Kalos.

I'd do the same after all that promotion of Greninja only for none of it to matter in the end

>>32963713
They didn't want to adapt Game Lillie into the Anime because they were worried the higher-ups would call for a Solgaleo/Lunala/Necrozma Movie with Cosmog being related in some way, and then they'd suddenly have to scrap Nebby entirely from the anime.
It'd be the GS Ball all over again except ten times worse.

Number 7 when?

>>32963925
There won't be a seventh loss unless they pull the Alola League out of their ass immediately after Ash beats Hapu in the last Grand Trial.
Even then, said League would be rushed to hell and back so he can leave Alola and make it to Gen 8's Region just in time for the games' release.

>>32963830
>They didn't want to adapt Game Lillie into the Anime because they were worried the higher-ups would call for a Solgaleo/Lunala/Necrozma Movie with Cosmog being related in some way

Also because she's the main girl and the main girls always differ greatly from their game counterparts.

I didnt know the Japs had his much godly taste

>>32963941
They better do it like the games. We need the losing streak.

>>32963941
>There won't be a seventh loss unless they pull the Alola League out of their ass immediately after Ash beats Hapu in the last Grand Trial.

They can just skip the league entirely and have the showdown with Lusamine be the finale

>>32963941
with the way Kalos League was, might as well condition us into short league battles. Unless this team knows how much time they have to finish the anime

I swore to myself i will watch the anime the second ash wins the league.

so far this isn't happening, my best hope was him winning for Johto and then let a new protagonist have hoenn

The rest of the cast aside from Kiawe are pretty useless, especially Mallow

Ash and Lillie carry the show

>>32963278
I don't watch it anymore after serena ruined it for me. Such a bad character, no development,no motivations to travel other than to suck dick and be some guys cum dumpster and she never trains or battles. Her entire character summed up: trash tier cock hungry slut without personality.
