You act like no new kids are born. The majority of those ratings come from new 6-11 year olds first getting into pokemon now.
And you know how Japanese rating system work, right?

If you really know what happened when Pokemon is outside of the Top 10Good news for Pokémon Best Wishes Season 2: DA!, the anime returns to the top 10 after 4 week absence.
Episode: The Pirate Kings of the Decolora Archipelago! aired on June 6, 2013.
1. Sazae-san: 17,3
2. Chibi Maruko-chan: 10,3
3. Doraemon: 9,7
4. Crayon Shin-chan: 8,1
5. One Piece: 7,9
6. Detective Conan: 7,2
7. Dokidoki! Precure: 5,5
8. Toriko: 4,9
9. Pokémon Best Wishes! Season 2: 4,0
10. Curious George: 4,0
11. Uchū Kyōdai: 4,0
Pokémon is still highest rated anime on TV Tokyo and I didn't know Curious George (which counts as "animation") was so popular in Japan lol
Hopefully the Butterfree episode had nice ratings as well.
Ratings matter if the show are dropping viewers too quickly.Ratings don't really matter for Pokemon anyway.
I really hope that Alexa brings back Pokemon into the Top 10, because the ratings of DA could be classified to being average at bestPokémon is still doing great, I mean top 10 over a sea of animation in Japan. I was really worried because Pokémon spent a whole month out of the top 10 but I suppose it was between 11-15 frame all that time, there's only top 10 info.
There are other popular shows like Hunter X Hunter and Naruto Shippuden below top 10 and they're still going on.
Merchandising and selling stuff is also key.
Hopefully X & Y hype will get Pokémon into the top 10 until 6 gen anime premieres in October.
I agree on the Sazae-san comparison. They aren't comparable.Sazae-san is a family show that's been running for 30+ years, and can be described as a mix of The Simpsons and Peanuts. Cute, innocent fun for the entire family. It gets the ratings it does because everyone watches it. Nothing can compete with that, and definitely not animated toy commercials aimed at 6-10 year olds.
"Lower rated shows" survive because they're still getting a lot of viewers.
Not, Dephender, the 4.0 ratings is the best of the rating that the show has gotten since April. The ratings starting April aren't good. And they are a it gimmicky with the game promotion of Alexa right now. I don't really imagine if the promotion happens with the DA ratings.In this day and age, broadcast television is nowhere near as popular as in the past, which is the reason for the "falling ratings", not anything the show itself does. And even if it was, 4,0% are still amazing ratings most shows would kill to get. Pokemon is doing very well, and sitting there comparing ratings from years ago, looking at exact positions on some top 10 list... is just doing it wrong. Pokemon is up in the position it's always had, it's doing as well as always compared to other shows, and it's not getting "low ratings" in any meaning of the word. But sitting there and complaining about "how the show is doing badly" just shows you don't understand these lists.
Yeah, this is why I see the writers worried and doing some things that I'm sure if Pokemon had ratings of 6 they didn't do.You know absolutely nothing about ratings if you think that's true. Pokemon doesn't rely on ratings, it mainly relies on merchandising. The writers could care less about ratings as long as their merchandise continues to turn a heavy profit. Even then the ratings for the show in this day and age are still incredibly good.
.The writers aren't marketing this show to grown adults on an Internet forum, they're marketing it to children
I have serious doubts that the rating inside the target audience are increasing. If the show is dropping 33% of the ratings in one gen, I see a 25% drop in target audience.Even then ratings don't measure certain statistics of viewers anyway. Pokemon measures increments of viewers ages 6-11, 9-14, 2-11, 7-13 and 2-13 and most on this forums aren't in that target audience.
Some of the things that I saw aren't hyped solely by the fandom. The fandom doesn't make false re-joining the cast, false leaving, overhyping arcs like Episode N and (in a lesser way) do things to promote the games that for me is gimmicky. That is hyped by the fandom, yeah.When Charmed says hype, he means "on the forum" which doesn't a thing.
I thinks that ratings are a important regarding the anime.Ratings may not be as relevant as some people think, but they still are useful to have an idea of how the show is received.
As long as the games and toys sell, ratings don't really matter.
that great news
now i wonder is the rating back because DA ?
...It was Charizard's return episode. Tons of Charizard merchandise was released leading up to that episode and Charizard's return itself was hinted to in several Episode N posters. I may have been wrong about Charizard not returning before, but I think it's obvious that there was a lot of hype for that episode; even if it hadn't been Ash's Charizard, you cannot deny that there was a lot of hype, moreso than the Ampharos episode or any other Episode N filler received. It's low rating is unfortunate, but at least it shows that fan service doesn't always work.
Saying "Lizardon returns... at some point. Maybe. Well, it'll be in the movie, at least" is not "creating hype for one specific episode".
So what if Pokémon is higher than it was before? It's because of current fan service. But I would never put Pokémon over One Piece or even some of the others regarding rating just because of that. It always goes up and down depending on what the writers do. However it's sad that the league got the lowest ratings while Da which is nothing but a Kanto hogging filler series.
It really is. Pokemon, unlike most other franchises, has a lot of space to die down in. Pokemon is a massive franchise and it won't just die. It's the same for the games and the anime.Pokémon will never die, it's as simple as that.
If BW is 4.0 I bet XY will sink to 3.5 after the initial newness wears off after it turns out its just more of the same.

But what you're forgetting is that new fans of Pokemon are always being made. New children start watching the show who are not familiar with the anime's structure. Old fans leave and new fans come to take their place.but the ratings will continue to free fall because the plot and structure of the anime never changes, among other reasons.
Truth tea has been served imo. I mean I'm glad that Pokemon is still the highest rated anime on the network, but the ratings will continue to free fall because the plot and structure of the anime never changes, among other reasons. And ratings are important. If the anime can't bring in good ratings, it'll be cancelled and then Nintendo would have to figure out another way to promote the games.
Japanese toy company Bandai reported this year's result of its annual survey "Who is your children's favorite character?" on its official site on June 20. The survey was conducted among 800 Japanese parents who have 0-12 year old children between April 19 and 22. No surprise again, Takashi Yanase's Anpanman, a hero with an edible head made of "pan" (bread) that is filled with "an" (red bean paste), took the first place in the overall ranking for 12 consecutive years since 2002 when the survey began.
Last year's second winner in the combined ranking, PreCure also defeated Kamen Rider and Pokémon/Pocket Monster again. The long-running magical (fighting, actually?) girl series of course topped the girl's favorite character ranking.
*The question of the survey itself said "character," but the answerers chose the "series" or "title" featuring
their kids' favorite characters.
Results of Bandai's Annual Survey On Favorite Character/Series
1. "Anpanman" (12.5%)
2. "PreCure" (10.6%)
3. Pokémon/Pocket Monster (8.1%)
4. "Doraemon" (5.6%)
5. "Kamen Rider" (5.1%)
6. "Thomas and Friends" (4.3%)
7. "One Piece" (4.1%)
8. Super Sentai series (3.1%)
9. "Rilakkuma" (3.0%)
10. "Aikatsu!" (2.8%)
Pokémon gets third place overall and the first place in:
Boy's ranking Top 5
1. Pokémon
2. Anpanman
3. Kamen Rider
4. Doraemon/Thomas and Friends
5. Super Sentai
So I guess this speaks a lot about Pokémon's popularity.
