Has the Anime series finally "Jumped the Shark"?

[Srebak]

As much as part of me knows what's going to happen to this thread, i have to ask; has the Pokemon Anime finally "Jumped the Shark" (the point when a long running tv show starts slowly going downhill)?

OS - DP had it's good moments, but while BW and (so far) XY have their share of good moments, it feels like the show has taken a more (dare I say it) saccharine tone and doesn't have as much flare to it anymore. Granted, the animation keeps improving, but that's all that seems to be improving

Any thoughts?

We have this thread here if you want to discuss your thoughts upon the tone/direction XY is taking: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f555/what-do-you-think-xy-saga-so-far-163104/

I can't see this one ending well, or much of the answers being particularly dissimilar to the "When did you stop watching the anime?" thread.
