What are you talking about? We were talking about following the games plot, why are you talking about ratings?Are you talking about the entire anime series? Cause then yeah, I can see that happening, tweaking the anime good enough to grab your attention for a while to make you somewhat interested in the Pokemon franchise. However the reason why Gen 3 is so interesting is that many people saw it as the time where the potential of marketing, the lifeblood of the series was passed on to the games as in the Pokemon series manage to stay alive during the decline of Gen 3 because of the games alone. What I find interesting is that since then, the entire Pokemon company dialed back on series of Pokemon merchandise over time, not just the anime, but also the TCG, games, and I guess toys but I don't really care for toys that much.
True but AG's still an interesting case as it's part of a much larger decline that encompasses the entire Pokemon series. I don't know if the internet impacted it as well to be honest but the decline for later series is understandable in this day & age, not just for Pokemon but any anime series really, because of the internet.
AG didn't lose more views than any other saga, it was BW who lost more than half the viewers.
