Lol I see. Just for the record not all E4 Aces are equal; for example it’s pretty safe to say that Flint’s Infernape is significantly stronger than Lucian’s Bronzong.

Just rewatched the episode, I didn't see Buizel do anything to Lucian's Bronzong tho. But Flint's Infernape is pretty badass haha.

It’s more to do with how both were shown to fare against Cynthia’s Garchomp. Now admittedly we don’t know how the full battle went in either case (though we do know that Infernape KOed 2 of Cynthia’s Pokémon prior to facing Garchomp), but we were shown Garchomp owning Bronzong with relative ease whereas Infernape was actually putting up a respectable fight. The battles were in DP 40 and 191.

Yea you def should!! If only the anime could do battles like that ugh:(

HAHA just as I thought :p I really hope they bring back travelling in the next gen, its really what I loved about the pokemon in the first place and SM just ruins it

I guess ima wait then :( Also let's play the gen 8 game when it comes out!! I'm gonna buy a switch cus my 3ds broke LOL

Alright then I’ll try going through some more of it soon haha.

True. Epicocity made this great post on why the lack of traveling has been so detrimental to SM: https://forums.serebii.net/threads/do-you-enjoy-the-direction-pokemon-sun-and-moon-anime-is-moving-in.664633/#post-18640006

Sure man. Apparently gen 8 will be made for long term fans like us, so hopefully it’ll be a return to form for the series ^_^.

Damn that post literally nails it. There's some unexplainable spark about exploring the vast pokemon world with two or three trusty friends, whilst meeting new and interesting people on the way that makes pokemon magical, and this school/slice of life thing just kills it for me.
