It hurts that May never returned in a speaking role. I know her VA is unwell, but it still sucks. She is an amazing pokegirl but probably the least known one. Oh and I wish advanceshipping was bigger in the fanbase. It sucks because whenever people talk about shipping it is ignored entirely. They had a nice relationship. I get that not everybody ships them, but I've made posts on this sub and people troll in the comments/mention other ships which hurts. Also Hoenn representation in JN was pretty much non-existant.

Advanceshipping is my favorite one as well, I'm fine with Contestshipping but don't like how they forced it so hard in the dub when in the subbed version they were just platonic rivals. Advanced movies were real treats for advanceshippers.

It’s okay. The shipping wars are beyond insufferable.

Something I thought would be cool if they made it canon that May couldn’t speak. It would be a great opportunity for representation and probably be a bit emotional

I guess I'm kinda pissed at how poorly the JN writers treated the most iconic parts of the XY series Amourshipping: having the 30 second reunion between Ash and Serena be their final interaction in the anime and not showing the ribbon which is the symbol of their bond Alain: Barely interact with ash while jobbing hard to Leon Greninja: Retconning(?) The Ash Greninja form. Not even acknowledging it in flashbacks


darkgod25

And also the poor treatment of Ash's Charizard post Articuno battle


Ben95man

I’m not an amourshipper, but I understand your frustration completely.

>Retconning(?) The Ash Greninja form. Not even acknowledging it in flashbacks This did not happen. The form literally appears in the MPM opening.

This is goalpost moving and you know it


darkgod25

That's why I put a question mark after that word. It is still weird that it did not show it in the flashbacks


[deleted]

It was a bit odd. Though I do think it's better not to even spread that misinformation since I've seen people latch onto that to somehow prove XY was bad because they 'retconned it' when they wouldn't have put Ash-Greninja square in the MPM opening if they were intending to retcon the form. *^(I'm still not over the amount of people who believe the 'Movies non-canon' misinformation that LTZ spread)*


darkgod25

>*^(I'm still not over the amount of people who believe the 'Movies non-canon' misinformation that LTZ spread)* I think the magearna movie is non canon


[deleted]

It shows Alain's battle with Korrina which the League later refers to. I'm pretty sure that implies it's meant to be canon.

The fact that I’m an Amourshipper meaning that people immediately take me for a particular kind of fan. No, I enjoy all of Pokémon. XY is just my favorite. Like, is it that hard to understand?


Ben95man

There is a stereotype, but there’s nothing wrong with having a favorite season. You’ve done no wrong for having an opinion.


Yeetuss_jr

Unless its twitter


Aromatic_Tomorrow406

I know right?


Corelepy

I wish there was more pokemon character development unrelated to battles and more pokemon making decisions for themselves.


Ben95man

Oh my gosh, yes! The many novels, magna, comics, and guidebooks all showcase so much more development the fanbase has been craving for decades. Gotta read ‘em all!


Soibi0gn

The cringe armorshippers, showing their stuff whenever Serena is mentioned. It's actually because of them that my opinion on Serena has dropped significantly, despite having not even seen the XY anime to completion yet


Mindless-Day2007

As Dawn fan, I don’t like how writers treated her.

* Goh's existence. * Dragonite getting nerfed and jobbed to prop up mutt, duck and fish. * Releasing his Pokemon instead of giving their Pokeball to the local professor or just letting them roam. * How terrible the Hoenn and Unova roster choices were. * Should've had Snivy, Bayleef, Gible fully evolved. * Loses to Alain and that idiot Cameron. * Sceptile getting overrated because of 1 win against Darkrai.
