So yeah, Ash lost the Kalos league after coming so very close by being in the finals, down to the last Pokemon and even having the type advantage. And judging by the Youtube trailer for next week's ep, the fans are not too happy. Not yet Ghostbusters level of hate, but it'll grow.

Far as my 2 cents go......I had low expectations so I was prepared for the worst (I mean come on, this is the 6th time we've been here so for a fan who's watched since 1999, I know what to expect.) but boy, I truly believe they're going to regret it this time. We are in an era where fandoms REALLY speak out when they disapprove of something so heavily (Again, Ghostbusters 2016, anything DC Movies these days, etc.) so I think the ratings for next week's episode will be interesting to say the least. XY hasnt had the best of ratings compared to other regions like Sinnoh and even the Hoopa movie was the lowest performing out of the film series (And this year's looks to be doing as bad if not worse) so this decision to have Ash come so very close but nope might actually hurt the anime even more. Not the games or merch since they can be counted separate to the anime for the most part, but certainly anything relating to the anime.

So really, it does not effect me in the slightest. I knew there was always that chance of him losing, and he did, life goes on for me as normal and as a fan. There will be fans however that feel after this they can no longer commit to this show or character if everything he goes through in every league is all for nothing.....after 20 long years. Sure, the next gen of kids will no doubt watch, but the Japanese ones have an alternative, its called Yokai Watch.

And boy, if they decide to let Serena go, I feel the next league really could be the last. And not because they intended it to be the last.... @_@
