The last two battles with Sawyer and Alain will surely make up for the skipped battles. And then there is the Flare climax to look forward to.
Anyone in the Elite 4. The anime makes it a goal to show the difference in strength between regular trainers and the Elite 4.
That's not reason. The reason is that Ash is winning this lackluster league.

Wait... best team based on what exactly? Most of the team hasn't even had enough battles to properly gauge anything and personalities are still quite lacking... Talonflame and Hawlucha haven't seen too much battle usage outside of gyms, Noivern hasn't even done much of anything, Goodra has all of what... 5 battles to his name total? That literally leaves you with Pikachu and Greninja as the only consistent battlers who have more then enough usage to warrant their strength.
Mainly due to the fact we've hardly seen Ash do anything in this league thus far, which is disappointing in itself because only seeing two of his battles in their entirety is going to suck.. but also because he's turned his back on the reserves that played a huge role in him reaching this point in his life. The Sinnoh league had it all right until the Tobias meltdown, bringing together everything that Ash had learned and all the Pokemon he acquired over his entire journey to give him his greatest league placement to that date. That's the way a victory should've been handled in my opinion and they could've done that so easily now!!
I just can't help but dislike it. Sorry but if they're going to show a character finally become a league champion after 20 years, then I want to see it done properly..
But you could also go on the other side and say that it would be disrespectful to the kalos team if he just ignored what has been his best regional team overall so far and then just use reserves.
Well, the Sinnoh team got one big dedicated fight, with the rest of Ash's roster taking care of other Battles. Kalos could've been similar.

If the Sawyer and Alain battle are atleast 2/3rd as good as the battle against Paul than I would say that this league would definitely have been a good league(great league if Ash wins).Not perfect of course but non of the leagues so far have been perfect.
All this fuss about reserves. He only used reserves in two leagues.

Doesn't mean Ash would win against Alain with this so called bond. I am not changing my opinion that Alain can win and deserves to win as much as Ash.
That's not to say it can't happen after the Team Flare arc. We don't know how long it takes for the League's winner to challenge the E4, it might not happen just after the League's last battle.

inb4 team flare intrerrupts the league and no victor is announced then another league takes place sequently and they bring back tobias to troll us once again
What makes any of us know what it means to do it properly, I don't see a single one of us that has written a hit show especially one that's last 20 plus years.
More like advertising the games, which is what this anime has always been about.The fans are the whole reason they have for writing this show to start with, so it's in their best interest to please said fans with the things they would like to see most.

Yes, but now we've reached a point where we wonder if the games need the anime anymore. The way the writing is changing would suggest that they are going away from it a little. With the breaking of the status quo comes less focus on the games in the anime and more focus on the anime itself.
