Best Friday, ever. xD
[ If there's 2 things I hate, it's League Outrage, and the other fans getting worried that the anime's gonna get canceled or something. -____-
Like it or not, ladies and gents. When a new Gen comes, there will always be an anime to promote it.
As previously stated, the anime is only in trouble if the games/toy lines sell terribly.
And the ratings dipping doesn't mean a thing. The highest scoring Japanese episode is The Flame Pokémon-athon! and no episode since then has been able to reach its score. By this "logic" (I use that term very losely), that would mean the JPN audience would think EVERY SINGLE episode is garbage if ratings meant how well episodes are received.
The ratings just show how many people watched the episode live on TV. Nothing more, nothing less.
