I'm so fucking pissed. Pokémon is not Pokémon without him. And no fuckwit siblings are gonna change that.

I mean, sure, he's a big part of the Pokemon franchise, but I don't think it's that terrible. Things like Pokespec manga, the other anime (Poketoons, for example), etc. have been doing just fine without him.
