Rewatch it. Primarina did a quick dodge against Tsareena during “Your Adventure” playing.
That was the only time though?

lmao what risks? She literally loses nothing out of this. This is not her goal, she just joined the League to have fun with her friends.Because said competitions didn't have risks and factors against her. It's one thing doing something for fun but this is an official league where you must beat your opponent to progress. I personally didn't need any build up to this due to the fact it made logical sense to me (others probably not, everyone views art differently). It's only natural to feel scared and anxious in situations like that. Makes me wish they didn't Mallow so dirty in this series because she's the most "human" character we've had ever.
You said "a single move"... she did.....That was the only time though?
Neither do none of the other participants? 80 percent of the competitors are competing because "lol why not?".lmao what risks? She literally loses nothing out of this. This is not her goal, she just joined the League to have fun with her friends.

I would be the same as her like you mentioned, of course depending of the rewards, as I did before with my local arcade dance game tournament, I didn't feel salty for my loss. And the Alola League being the 1st one organized in that region, everyone would like to experience how it looks like. It's not like every citizen of Alola knows how the other regional Pokemon leagues looked like.lmao what risks? She literally loses nothing out of this. This is not her goal, she just joined the League to have fun with her friends.
Oh it was absolutely cheating. Which of course makes him questioning the validity of Meltan's victory afterwards all the more silly because it's pure unbridled hypocrisy.Ash vs Faba: Hold up, isn't that cheating? You can't just force out an opponent's Pokemon like that, right? I guess Ash agreed to it, but Faba should have been disqualified then and there. Meltan ate Hypno's pendulum? That is "Pikachu! The horn!" levels of wackiness. That tiny piece of metal is strong as heck though, defeating Hypno quickly afterwards. Now if only Meltan evolved into Melmetal...
And that’s where the bs starts to come. Mallow was never big on battles, hell she was never big on the League, but she joined anyway because everyone thought it’d be fun. Her being so flustered isn’t characteristic or understandable in the slightest because she’s never went into anything (running the restaurant by herself, becoming the leader of the Bread Festival team, becoming a UG, battling Misty, etc etc) with those types of feelings. If anything, LANA should’ve been the one nervous, because she cared way more about this tournament than Mallow did, and it ultimately means much more to her than Mallow. Mallow has done a bunch of stuff on her own without her friends support and she was just fine. Again, Mallow suddenly not having confidence in herself and Tsareena when she literally always has makes no sense. Narratively, it’s bad writing and just forced drama.She has helped everyone and now she's the one needing help.
Actually, let me remind you that Mallow's go-getter personality was partially a cover to hide the grudge she hold for herself's mean words towards her late mother. You can say SM has lots of lazy writing stuff but this definitely isn't one of them.
Exactly. And that is one of the reasons why it's so out of character for Mallow to react the way she did..
Neither do none of the other participants? 80 percent of the competitors are competing because "lol why not?".
You possibly reacting the way she did in a hypothetical situation doesn't exactly proves that what she did wasn't out of character nor that there was a build up towards it.I would be the same as her like you mentioned, of course depending of the rewards.
sigh. So much negativity. Can't ya'all think positively for once.
Which is funny cause his actions basically granted Ash a freebie. Even if Hypno won Ash(or someone from the crowd) could have brought up Faba's dirty trickOh it was absolutely cheating. Which of course makes him questioning the validity of Meltan's victory afterwards all the more silly because it's pure unbridled hypocrisy.
Yeah it felt too easy for Ash tbh
I would be nervous as well if I was from a place with a huge audience dealing against an opponent who is obviously better than me, as I don't want to be an embarrassment to him or anyone, no matter if I was a cheery person before. Nothing about being out of character.You possibly reacting the way she did in a hypothetical situation doesn't exactly proves that what she did wasn't out of character nor that there was a build up towards it.
First, you aren't Mallow. You do not have the same traits, story and background as her. Second, this isn't real life. This is a show. It's the writers job to chose the character's traits and, if said character is going to change and act differently from before, it's also the writers job to build up towards that change, so the whole journey the character went through in the show will actually matter and not be just a complete waste of time.
duh it's the pokemon anime people are stupid and really inefficient why do think we're so impressed that guzuma used his brain or anyone for that matter?cause they don't 3/4 of the time and that's why paul was so special he did it the most relatively speaking (and sinnoh as a whole) but obviously i'm talking in the context of comparing to other people/trainers in the show not real life if that was the case paul isn't really that smart either so i don't see the your deal with sawyer making an in universe smart and efficient move that's actually acceptable,also i'm telling you the anime doesn't make as big a deal about type match ups as you are doing right now your just gonna disappoint yourself if you expect anymore than what's presented time and time againWho in their right mind sacrifices a Slaking that could tank that many Fighting-type moves? I'll tell you: Cameron, who also needlessly sacrificed a Pokemon during his league match.
The entire scene was just outrageously stupid and defies common sense. Slaking absorbs like fifteen super effective hits, then uses a resisted move to KO Hawlucha. It is then immediately KO'd by Talonflame with a neutral hit. And during this scene Sawyer is portrayed as some insightful genius.
Kalos' trainers were so stupid Ash was embarrassed enough to get a formal education in the very next region.
One hit, actually, since Reflect doubles as another version of Protect in the anime since Headbutt never physically touched Hypno and therefore no damage was takenMeltan seems pretty powerful if it can take a pokemon down in two hits
"Tell, don't show" is lousy writing, especially with a series like Pokémon, which is all about the growth of trainers and their bonds with their pokémon...The fact that she's been training has been brought up several times. Is it really that much of a stretch that during the general training she's been repeatedly established to do, she learned a new move?
