Heisei era in Japan now is over. With which, we will move on to the next decade. And I think it's time to talk about...
HOW 2010s RUINED POKEMON ANIME FANBASE!
Not long ago, i find out how the anime fan base is now similar to the Star Wars fan base. In bad sense. Because, Star Wars have worst fanbase ever existed. And today we will talk about how suitable by the end of the 2010s brought it to this. Here we have in mind not the anime itself and its Sagas in this decade, whatever they might be. This refers to the fanbase of the anime itself, and how different parts of this base accepted certain Sagas. And the 2010s are similar to the times of the Star Wars prequels (and The Last Jedi), and Sonic games after the classic era (and especially since the late 2000s). At times, which both fanbases have irrevocably messed up, who now hate each other and fight each other. And the anime is not very far from them. Let's start from far away.
The end of the 20th century, and the beginning of the franchise procession around the planet. All fell in love with Pokemon, strong love. All the fans were friends with each other. And everything was fine.
2000s. Everything went and developed. But here began discontent between the fans. Because of the obvious - leaving Misty, and the arrival of a replacement for May (and later her on Dawn). Of course, there were complaints about the reset of the experience of Ash and his team (though not as flawed as in the future), and all sorts of minor roughness of the subsequent Sagas. But, it was more gall because of the departure of Misty. However, everything was still fine. Hoenn and Sinnoh moved the anime forward, Ash developed morally, and Poke Shippers held faith in the future for Ash and Misty (and his relationship with May and Dawn did not go far, and were friendly). And the fanbase was still good.
And then came the 2010th, and everything began to go at the seams. It began with the final of Saga in Sinnoh, which until this final was similar to the final of the story of our hero. And then on those - the anti-piano in the bushes in the face of Tobias, Ash lost, and most fans in fierce rage. It would seem that how much to infuriate them? And here…
Black and White - I think no need to go deep into the causes of the negative that has arisen. Is that briefly - the ash experience of Ash, the loud faces in the first series, the unused full potential of the new games, the primitive laws for the old seasons (when trying to bring a new one at the same time), the weakest films in the franchise (especially the dumb 15th anniversary movie), stupid League, well, and Iris. And I’m not talking about the original plans of the creators with Team Rocket and Zekrom (which deprived Pikachu of strength - because), which may have suffered from the infamous earthquake in Fukushima, due to which two series were canceled and thrown out of the canon Team Plasma. Yeah, against this Saga were not only half the fans, but even nature itself. That is, in part, the creators are not to blame for what happened, it just happened. But nevertheless, these punctures with Zekrom and Team Rocket are no less meaningless things, like the line of GS Ball. And yet - the other half of fans accepted the local updates. And the new design of Sister Joy and officer Jenny, the role of Team Rocket in the plot, even Iris (yes, there are such people), and so on (among them Oshawott
). What became the focus for the beginning of the end of harmony in the fandom. But then it was trenchant. Yes, and Unova on the compare of Alola - at least keeps himself in hand.
XY(Z) - many fans favorite and idolized Saga. Everything returned to its place (as well as the experience and development of Ash), innovations work better, and anime has reached a new level. It would seem - in the fan base because of this, everything should be fine again. But - even many of the favorite works there are dissatisfied. Which, in this case, called saga overrated. And these people run into many things here. On local Ash, on Greninja (yes, there are such people), serious tone, and on Serena. And among these people are not only fans of previous companions. And any criticism of the fans of the saga is not reacted very friendly, saying something like, "How dare you?!". Not for nothing I mentioned earlier Sonic. Because - in the days of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, religious fans of the classical era also scolded a progressive serious tone. And as in the case of Sinnoh, many were convinced that this Saga would be a well-deserved finale of Ash's story. But here - a loss in the League of Kalos, and exploded so that the limits of the fandom affected. Anger and whining was in bulk. And this was only a prelude before an even bigger explosion, which caused an even greater split...
Sun and Moon - Kalos saga did not have time to reach the full end, and the fans moved away from the outcome of the League, as there was an even stronger negative explosion outside the fandom. A full announcement of the current saga. And it was not only the absence of Serena and the detailed drawing. But in the announcement that after the most serious saga, there will be an acid comedy, most of the action will take place at school (I still think this idea is very stupid). And half of fans before the premiere called a new saga a failure. Well, after the premiere, fans split into two fronts (and there is a third - neutral). And some immediately hated (and some of them continue to hate) for killing key aspects of the franchise (regular battles and adventures), eerie antics (for which this saga should have received a rating R) and so on, which made the first half almost negligible (for haters). While others have warmly accepted for how this saga is trying to bring a new (albeit so radically), smoother animation (not style), more experienced than in Unova Ash (one of the things SM did better than BW), references to the original seasons, and of course - the return of Misty and Brock. Well, and so on. SM has a lot of things for which you can love, and those for which you can hate. And being the most controversial saga, it is the apogee of conflicts between fans and fans, to which everything has come during this decade.
That was such a hard year for this decade. It had a lot of good and not so good. And after it - the Pokemon anime fan base will never be the same. Some will put forward their opinions, the second to argue with them, others to impose their opinions on everyone, and the fourth to keep neutrality. Some will demand one thing, the second another, and third others will enjoy what they have. I do not know what will happen next year and next decade. And I do not know what will happen to the anime and fanbase in the future. But I want the 2010s to end beautifully with the beginning of the eighth generation, from which many, if not all, will be delighted. And in the next decade, this generation, as well as the next, will more often delight, and rarely cause more disputes and conflicts in the fandom. I do not expect an perfection from the future, since I will tell one truth - PERFECTION IS THE MYTH. I'm just waiting for our anime to move forward further and further, more fun, less no fun, and (at least relative) harmony in the fan base. We will pray for the best.
