And yet he doesn't improve. At all.
No offense but you sound like an idiot, that plus the fact that ur posts make it clear that u dont like Ash.
Let me say this, May beat Harley (few times) and beat Drew ( didnt really knock out absol though and combusken looked way more beaten up). Also beat some other coordinators. The fact is that Ash can beat those trainers any day, but can May beat Noland and his Articuno, that answer is a big fat NO. Can May beat Brandon, heck no and Ash will.
Theres no denying that Ash is better just because May got Top 4 doesnt make her better as I just explained. You are letting ur hatred for Ash and love for May cloud ur RIGHTFUL JUDGEMENT.
Ash only used his AG team in the hoenn region theres no denying the fact that if Ash had used Snorlax, Charizard, Squirtle, Kingler, Bulbasaur and others he would've gotten farther possibly even winning the league. I mean common replace Corphish with Snorlax and take Torkoal out for Charizard. With his line up being Pikachu, Charizard, Snorlax, Grovyle, Glalie, and Swellow there is no way Tyson would've won. But the WRITERS decided to have ash place in the top 8 again. Just like they had may place in the top 4.
This is amazing, just because may comes in the top 4 she is automatically better then ash. Just look at it like this assemble Ash's 6 pokemon line up as Pikachu, Charizard, Snorlax, Sceptile, Swellow, and Glalie. May cant even take one of these pokemon out and the only one that can put up a fight would be Combusken.
