Kalos League - One Year Later

Frozocrone

Miraculous!
Astrid let us down. She got beaten by a Pokemon that can't even evolve (and she had beaten in an alternate movie universe).

You better not be disrespectin' my boi Luchabull.

Honestly given that Malva's report emphasized ME and only mentions MC-X, MC-Y, M-Garchomp, M-Absol and A-G I really don't think there were any other Mega-esque Pokémon. Besides it makes sense that not everyone has access to it. Also barring Korrina we don't know which GLs Alain faced (we know that anime only gyms exist).

Still a better response than to continue to be invested in the kid and face numerous more generations of disappointment as a result.

I think how SM concludes the Kahuna arc, and Gen 8 (I imagine the league will return here), will be the breaking point. Ash should be named the first Alola Champion (which he'll refuse so he can travel), and win the league for Gen 8 (25th anniversary?).

Apart from BW (which you can headcanon off as a one-time blip), every other series had a progression. So I think this gen and next gen will determine the fate of the anime regarding Ash.

You know, fiction bringing you happiness is fine. Criticizing shows that you don't like or like but which have let you down is also fine. But the sheer and utter sorrow and rage that I have witnessed in the world since that fateful day of August 18th 2017, is a prime example of a time when you really should take a step back and realize that it's just fiction. It's just a show. Woulda been nice if Ash won. Would also be nice if I had a million euros. It doesn't matter.

The point Im trying to make is

Pokemon is trash

Never watch it

It was a pretty bad day for a lot of anime/manga fans, because, during that same day Ash lost the KL, Bleach manga had ended in a trainwreck. Gotta add more salt to the wounds.

He fought at least two ME gym leaders + potentially every round at the KL had a ME Pokemon. The league also gave him an outlet to regain himself after that Act III PTSD.

Now that I think of it, in spite of the Kalos League being set up as Satoshi's ultimate goal at the end of his Kalos journey, Alain seems to have received the most benefits from collecting Badges and attending the tournament. He even went as far as to win the whole competition in spite of him only entering it to fight tough opponents. Poor Satoshi got the short end of the stick there.
