But OV still divided the fanbase and caused more problems than UAF ever did. Ultimately it was OV which led to the necessity of a reboot.

Pokemon got worse with every series. That show should either ended a long time ago, or replaced the main protagonist, so they wouldn't have to keep "undeveloping" Ash every season in order for him to redevelop again. Same goes for Pikachu, who has beaten Legendaries but gets pwned by a water-type in an early series.
