Probably a lot of people hate me for what I write, but I love Alola and her league. I know it has a lot of disadvantages, however, it was the first pokemon league in the entire history of the region. It is not known how it was from Kanto to Kalos in the beginning, maybe they were fighting 1v1 or otherwise. Remember that in Kanto, when Charizard went to sleep he dropped out of the slot machine, although I know that it was also the first league in the anime itself. What did I like? Climate and atmosphere again, I love how Battle Royale showed, you know you're strong, you win, it was nice to see side characters that were only background or appeared in just a few episodes. Yes, 16 was not very strong, but almost the strongest in Alola itself. The "champion of the region" himself was waiting for the winner of the final, which was good then. They showed the whole elimination and fights which I thought were fun. Also, the relationships between pokemons and bravery have not been forgotten. Guzma showed that he is not afraid of either Mega Evolution or Z Attack, which was good. Like the fights themselves, maybe they weren't as spectacular as in Kalos, nor very exciting as in Sinnoh or Johto, but they had their charm. When there was a fight between Ash and Gladion, I honestly did not believe that he would win. I even thought he would lose as usual. The Kalos finale disappointed me so much then that I thought I would quit this series, I even criticized Alola heavily when she came out, but with time I changed my mind and it became my favorite region right after Kanto and Kalos. I understand that you may not like Alola and criticize it constantly when you get the opportunity, and I often see posts that offend Alola and girls with MS as if they were meaningless characters, a bit sad but well, I do not go into the opinions of others. My only regret is that we didn't get to know Selene, I would love to see her.
