Ash is incredibly innovative and strategic in XY.

Not only that, but the camera angles + the animation made this battle top tier as well

So much strategy involved.

Probably the second best gym battle just barely behind Ash vs Clemont

From an emotional standpoint I prefer the clemont fight, but from a choreography standpoint, Ash vs Olympia>>>>Ash vs Clemont (which is also great, but Ash vs Olympia is top tier in terms of choreography)

I actually think the Ash vs Clemont battle is animated better! There’s a **** ton of smearing with dynamic camera angles.

yeah, Ash vs Clemont was crazy with its animation and effects work (I'm guessing they dialed back the effects work for SM aside from Z moves to make it look more "hand drawn", but I still miss XY's), but Ash vs Olympia was also crazy with a ton of fluid movement and rotations

I really like those cuts, they gave an extra intensity to the fight, even moreso than Iwane's more bouncy movements. Ohashi is a madlad and it's a shame he doesn't show up that often. I hope he appears in the Korrina rematch (either him and/or Maenami, who is also amazing)

Yeah, Ohashi doesn't show up much at all sadly

That one was amazing, I had forgotten about Luxray's non-Goodra fights tbh. The second one was also great, especially due to the rotation
