Alain is losing in half an episode. Well that throws an asterick over whatever they meant when they said all 7 battles will be treated well.

 

[Mythical-Moonlight]

Ah yes the battle between Who Cares and Who Gives AF?

But in all seriousness I am actually mildly interested if only because this is the only match up where I don't immediately know who's about to Win

Lance is probably the safe bet tho

 

[GLTSRY]

How can something like a fake title even happen?

 

[anipokefan]

Not only I get baited for Ash vs Alain (my fault according to people on this forum) I also get baited for a epic G-Max Charizard vs Mega Charizard fight (my fault too according to people on this forum telling me that Leon is strong enough to defeat a Mega Charizard with Base Charizard)

cool

Wouldn’t be too sure about that. We already had Leon vs Lance, and they might want to have an equal gender ratio in the semifinals

 

[MartínK]

So the battles will be an episode except if you're Leon.
Hope that the matches will be good at least.

 

[Bortgreen]

Please,I can get over Alain or reserves,but i won't expect less than good battles from this

What do you mean? "How can someone post something on the Internet that isn't true?" That's... not very difficult.

it's half a episode actually

Man what a f’ing waste to even bring alain in in the first place. Should’ve just kept flint in for the quick jobber.

I wonder if Ono was picking his wife from the studio and the crew just pulled him in and told him to do a few lines for alain or something.

 

[doofinc]

Certified bruh moment.

Even though I appreciate that the writers somewhat paid attention to seeding, it does come with the drawback that this side of the bracket is certainly the more boring side.

Hoping for some good animation + maybe a Diantha win so that at least 1 Kalos member makes it through to round 2.

 

[Heekful]

TeamDiantha rise up ! I believe she can get a win to not 100% shaft Kalos lmao

 

[Shadao]

Wow, Leon is so powerful he crushed Alain in less than 11 minutes, leaving enough room for Lance to fight Diantha.

Got Trevor’d, indeed!

They probably woudn't want a repeat of Lance vs Leon. Me thinks Diantha wins but both will be fed to Leon so a dead rubber practically.

 

[GLTSRY]

Thanks for the sarcastic answer. I assumed that you get the titles from an official source, or at least a not-official, but trustworthy source.

 

[anipokefan]

Alain used Mega Charizard vs Trevor so this is somehow worse, but Leon is the stroooooooooooooooooooooooooooongest trainer in the world, unstoppable, undeniable, unbeatable, so it's fine.

 

[solrocknroll]

wow, Alain and Leon aren’t even getting a full episode lmao. That’s rough buddy.

I do think Alain and Leon will be like half of this episode though. My guess is that the round 1 battles will generally be staggered so each episode has two halves a match.

 

[cricketlaxwolvesbandy]

This is the battle I’m most excited for! It’s 50/50 who’s going to win

 

[ash&charizardfan]

Out of 4 matches, this match is the most unpredictable match. We dont know who is gonna win it.
