Back in Kalis it had a lot to do with Ash Greninja, which screamed generic shounen anime that felt like it didn't belong in Pokmon despite the games later welcoming it as well. Ash-Greninja was obviously created for the purpose of giving Ash a pseudo-Mega Evolution, because Ash since Gen 3 has restricted himself to catching only Pokemon that are native to the region he is traveling through (catching only Gen 3 Pokemon in Hoenn, Gen 4 Pokemon in Sinnoh, and so on for the other generations). Gen 6 had only one Pokemon with a proper Mega Evolution and that was Diancie, so there was no chance they would have allowed Ash to get that Pokemon. So Ash-Greninja was created to fill-in as his Mega Evolution replacement. Sun/Moon finally broke a tradition of Ash never catching a single Mythical, when they allowed him to have Meltan/Melmetal. I am a bit disappointed that Ash didn't catch one of the Alola Forms, as I consider them to be completely new Pokemon since they're native to Alola. So it wouldn't feel like Ash was catching a Gen 1 Pokemon in a Gen 7 anime setting. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! ...
