"Ash leaving Greninja was bull***t and a huge mistake"

I had this thought for a very long time, but it came back to me considering all the recent things happened in the anime and in some other things related to the franchise.It's not a mystery that the final part of the XY anime was very frustrating, between Ash losing the Pokemon league at the very last and then him leaving Greninja, one of his most powerful Pokemon. But the latter got a brand new level of frustration from me when I think about how the series changed the formula with the newest series, Pokemon Journeys. In this series Ash is climbing up for the Pokemon World Championship, in order to fight and defeat Leon, the world champion, and in the mix there could also be returning characters that Ash will fight again (like the teased Korrina, in the latest trailer). This also opens to the potential of Ash using some of his past Pokemon he has at Oak's and Kukui's places, other than the ones he's getting now, and it could lead to a lot of variety in his fights.However, this is not gonna be the case for Greninja: the excuse used to release him is irreversible as much as the constrain of the Soul Stone in Avengers, there are no chances to see him back ever again, even if eventually writers wanted to change mind. Now, it's safe to say that the idea of Pokemon Journeys wasn't even planned back then, but precluding every chances to make Greninja ever returning again in the future with that ridiculous excuse was a stupid decision, and I'm afraid that by seeing how Greninja won the japanese poll.of pokemon popularity, with almost 40000 votes over Lucario, that decision could really backfire to them.Sorry about the rant, but I felt like I really wanted to share this. Feel free to express your thought on this. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2z7s4N3
