I mean I guess you could say xy paralleled that with greninja-infernape, while the others took a hit. Goodra having a 15 episode arc for itself also didnt help.
Oh definitely. Alain is like showing us that his ego is above everyone else. Cynthia at least accepted to battle Paul because of Paul's enthusiasm to battle, and you're right about his earnestness. Ash and his training is all about being close, bonding like friends and family, being selflessness, and trusting each other. When Ash had trouble mastering the Ash-Greninja form, he relied on only getting stronger (as in that raw power), which is why Greninja lost to Alain (1st time), Sawyer (battle prior to league), and Wulfric (1st attempt) and when Ash passed out twice. Ash and Greninja mastered the transformation because he went back to his own roots. Alain's team is like you have to deal with multiple egos that just don't mesh together. For Ash's team, it's all good there because of that close bond and trust with the authentic feel of being part of the family.

On top of it, just look at some of the setup, too...or what may be. Bisharp using Thunder Wave, likely. Ash will probably use Rain Dance to heal Goodra, yes, but it will also lead into Greninja having more power for the battle ahead. That's working together.
The difference between Greninja and Infernape, though, is that Greninja didn't hog battle glory. Yes, he had an arc dedicated to him, but it made sense that he would. Infernape was a more extreme version of Charmander's backstory (a well done one, but one, nonetheless) who proceeded to take 2 wins a gym from Fantina on. That's half the gyms. And then 3 in the battle against Paul. By comparison, Greninja only took 2 victories once in the 4th gym, and 1 victory in every other major match (bar Sawyer). So...not even really close to the same. The others, except for Noivern, still had many chances to shine.
Well, we don't know how long Rain Dance will be active for during the Charizard vs Greninja battle since by the time they both transform it's stopped. At best, it might be for Greninja taking down Bisharp if it takes Goodra down with Guillotine.
Yeah, have to agree on the focus being more shared despite Greninja being Ash's strongest. In only one gym did he actually earn more than one win and even at the League he might only be getting three wins at most over the battles with Sawyer and Alain. It really has allowed his other Pokemon to shine even if they're fall guys.

I like how people say alain's downfall is going to be him not trusting or having faith in his pokemon i believe during the final battle ash shows alain what trusting his pokemon does and than alain has his awakening when hes losing and proceeds to beat ash by trusting charizard to keep going and countering the giant shuriken with blast burn/flamethrower

We can at least assume it lasts long enough to do something for Greninja considering Charizard pops out in the middle of it and I think the transformation starts off in the rain, considering the sponsor's message (but don't hold me to it).

If the orange shurikin is not the finishing move then I don't know what is
Ok we need to clarify this. Is the mega shuriken gold or orange? Because as far as I see that thing is gold.

Yeah, bit it could also just be in play until they both transform since they only show Mega Charizard X when it isn't raining out. I'd rather see a little battle between them in the rain first though. It would make Goodra being decapitated that much easier to shallow.
Oh, it would. I mean...this is a 6v6 not 1v1x6. Things build, no matter what others think. Hawlucha did what he did because Noivern fell, while also giving Ash an idea of Weavile's capabilities. Assuming Goodra falls to Guillotine (which, let's face it, isn't the worst way to go out), then Rain Dance being a great set up for Greninja to take out Bisharp would further show the team setup.
So either Goodra falls to Bisharp or to Mega Charizard X. Greninja would probably take out Bisharp if Goodra falls to it.
