I didn’t say Trip was a weak trainer, I said that, as an excuse for Trip to remain an jerk to Ash the writers could just make Trip say that Ash only won because he had a strong Pokémon despite being a bad trainer. Also, as others have pointed out here levels don't exist in the anime. Snivy...
I honestly don't know what is worse: people that are still upset over this fight or people that are still trying to defend this fight. I think it's pretty clear by now that people's problem with this fight isn't that Pikachu lost (not at all) but the absolutely bad writing with Trip overall. I...
Watch as this is ANOTHER random generic Lycanroc Dusk Go catches without weakening or bonding and Ash doesn't even notice he had a LD that delivered the decisive blow in his first regional league. Ha ha ha.
It's hard to think of anything that BW and XY did better than DP or SM, but I'll try.
BW had a good showing on the rivalries between the main cast since the twerps had funny interactions with all of the rivals. The mini tournaments were also kinda fun tho most of the battles were terrible (but...
Ok, now this looks like fanfic stuff.
(Next week we have Serena killing Lillie with Braixen's stick and slapping Ash in the face for not being ThE aSh SHe kNeW.)
Tbf, Melmetal didn't even damaged Incineroar. It tanked DL, and tried to retaliate with DIB, but Incineroar managed to counter and defeat it with a single close-range Blast Burn. So, technically Incineroar only got hurt by a single Stone Shard from Lycanroc.
That doesn't even makes sense...
Honestly, Krookodile is massively overrated. It had some good wins, but overall his battle track wasn't any better than Torracat's IMO.
Lycanroc is one of Ash's tankiest mons along with Snorlax. The guy tanked several Swords Dance boosted Counters and Outrages against Edgyroc, took out all of...
I think his team would be:
-Incineroar (obviously)
-Braviary (I know it could risk MR's true indentity, but Braviary is one of Kukui's trusted partners so I think everyone will just go "oh MR has a Braviary just like Kukui! That's cool!!"
-Kommo-o (MR using Alola's pseudo-legendary seems very...
Actually, Gladion used Edgyroc against Hapu's Golurk. He caught Zoroark later in that same episode.
No one said a story can only have one main plot-point. In SM we have many plot-points: Ash's Island Challenge, the Aether Foundation storyline, the UB storyline, the League construction and the...
Honestly, If the anime is actually good, I don't really care about the art style...
That being said though, I don't want M21 art style. People bash SM art style and while I understand why people got mad over it, I think M21 art style wasn't really better. Satoshi and TR looked a bit weird in...
I never said anything about Zygarde doing more than Shaymin. Everyone needs to accept that. I don't really like Shaymin, but just like Zygarde prior to it, it felt like the writers handed legendaries to these girls just so they could look relevant. "Oh hey, look here! I am kidnapping this...
That's why I said "done worse". May found her true calling in Pokémon Contests in the span of 13 episodes while Serena set her goal as a a Performer in XY 47 the same episode where she caught Pancham. Showcases were introduced so late that Serena ended the show as a undeveloped character. AG and...
"Torracat is most likely only there because of Ash vs. Guzma" isn't the same thing as "Torracat will not be used against Gladion because it's a 3x3".
Don't you think you're putting too much credibility in a "leak" that everyone knows it's fake by this point? These "leaks" are not rumors...
No one because Showcases were a mistake.
I don't want a "Serena war" in this thread, but Serena's character arc wasn't good for a bunch of different reasons, not just her goal and motivations. The writers screwed her hard with the "what I will do with my life" cliché which was just a carbon...
While I don't think Lycanroc will be released, he does have a bond with Kukui though since Kukui healed and feed him way before Ash came to Alola.
Gladion can still use Umbreon. We saw Ash with 4 Pokémon in the League Finals scan and Gladion with just 3. However, since Gladion has 4 Pokémon as...
Every regional team has it's flaws. OS team didn't had such a great track record and was mostly played for gags, AG relied in Swellow, Sceptile and Corphish with Torkoal and Glalie (and Aipom technically) being basically jobbers. Torterra became bad the moment it evolved, Gible was rushed...
These two were a joke honestly. Mainly Palpitoad. So that's not the best example you can give me. Besides, Ash's Unova Team was terrible, with only Krookodile being remotely decent and still being rushed.
Tell that to Snivy and Oshawott.
I agree that Ash's team could've been so much better, but i'm not sure... I love Torracat design, so Incineroar is a big slap on my face. I can see it with Masked Royal since they fit each other pretty well. But for Ash... The fact that he's a Dark type doesn't...
