He's Born! The Alolan League Winner! (1082)

[Ignition]

Sigh. So much positivity here. I guess the blind fans will do anything to defend pokemon.

For me it’s kind of like a “eh, this is what we got.” Far from an idealistic victory but it’s still here so I’ll just celebrate that one of the longest trends for the franchise has finally been broken

Curious: What didn’t you like about it? Not judging you

I just hate Ash & didn't want him to win.

 

[Aleh]

XY fans stay salty. SM did almost everything right from the beginning.

Ash is a true champion.

 

[Twilight-Kun]

So that's three characters Ash screwed over to claw his way to the best of the worst

Congrats, I guess?

“ Best of the worst “

Truer words have never been spoken

Fair enough. I hope an upcoming episode pleases you then : )

Oof we’re still doing that XY vs SM comparisons 3 years later when the saga is almost over? Yikes

 

[Power Up]

Damn, I feel bad for the Furfrou trainer way back then

Must suck to utterly fail at even qualifying for a league only to see this tournament lol.

When every single discussion about his win on the internet is littered with people complaining he should have won in XY for absurd reasons and whining at the art style at the same time, yes.

Don't be silly, that guy definitely offed himself or died of starvation long before the Alola league:

Who cares about his dream, the only character that should be feeling crushed right now is the Furfrou guy. Dude put all of his faith in Ash.

He looked like a male prostitute too, so he's probably crying his eyes out while standing around in shady street corners, which is bad for business because customers will be weirded out. Ash ruined his dreams and his job, what a terrible person.

But you’re just asking for XY to be brought up even more. Counterproductive

Don’t know man. Maybe after 20 years people feel that this was mediocre and disappointing?

 

[raichu27]

Congrats, Ash! I've been waiting a long time for this. A 6 on 6 battile still would've been nice, though. Although, that Lycanroc battle was fun to watch.

 

[matthew11]

So Satoshi won by countering Counter with Counter? Game mechanics are shaking

Congrats to him for finally winning a league and breaking the curse. But it feels... incredibly underwhelming.

Lmao, sucks to suck. If only he had come to Alola before Kalos, maybe he wouldn’t have ended up like that.

 

[Touma Callum 13]

There is a God in this world

After 22 years. he has won. I'm so happy I got to see him win my life time, I thought this day would never come! All the heartbreak, the blood, sweet and tears for the last 22 years were all worth it for this one moment. To see Ash stand with that trophy. My love for Pokemon has come back at long last and I can rest easy now. I don't care if Ash losses to Mask Royal now, this what I have waited for the last 18 or so years. I am now going to play Type:Wild none stop to enjoy this wonderful day.

Or he'd have lost at the battle royale, embarassing himself even further

I’d say he would get to the quarters. He might have been a scrub back then, but Alola would be his place to shine

XY Ash could have found a way to sweep this league with just a Sunkern. These peasants are unfit to even look in his direction

And thus, poor Zoroark keeps being mistreated in the anime.

Ironically, Gladion uses a Lucario in the games.
