My dude why are you trying to belittle people so much? It's a show mostly made for kids, how about you let people have their own thoughts and respond without the snarky attitude?
Besides earlier today I called you out on your wrong opinion regarding "Goh possibly being more incompetent than kanto ash", where I also gave objectively fair reasoning as to why Goh is improving so much faster, yet you don't respond... if you only respond to call people out but can't admit to your own flaws, why bother being in a public thread?
Nothing personal though, I just felt like you were jabbing at people in unnecessary ways
1. Stating something that is objectively right and objectively wrong is belittling someone? GTFO here.
2. Not my fault your comment was buried in obscurity and I happened to miss it. I only managed to see it now.
You say it is nothing personal, yet you accuse me of belittling people when you do that to me. If you had something wrong with something I objectively stated and wanted to challenge that view, you could 've simply pointed that out without the other nonsensical rubbish you added to your message.
So, based off Goh's battle against a "Wild Pokemon", he becomes more competent than Ash who has had much more official battles in Kanto, trained more pokemon from Scratch and also took part in a regional league, fighting gym leaders?
Your approach to judging whether a trainer is competent or not is unfortunately skewed and biased towards Goh. Let me explain why.
Judging Goh based off 1 battle like this would be unfair as the story/plot was written in such a manner to skew this particular moment in favor of Goh. What I mean by that is, in the flygon capture, Ash seemed inferior to Goh and Pikachu seemed inferior to Goh's Rabifoot. However, in theory, would you use that as an example to conclude Goh > Ash and Rabifoot > Pikachu? No. If someone were to just watch that episode, that would be the case. However, that clearly isn't.
Secondly, Pokemon Battles have evolved over the years from the OG series right up to Journeys. The way pokemon battles have been choreographed has also substantially been changed. Naturally certain animations that are possible now wouldn't have been possible then and also, battles weren't as dynamic as they are now during the OG series. The same goes for execution and choreography of certain strategies etc during battle.
So using that to argue in Goh's favor is again, is just simply unfair to Ash. We've seen elite four members use less strategy than Goh in some of their past battles against ash like Prima(Loreleii) did against him during the Orange Islands arc for example. Does that imply Goh is > Lorelei simply because he displayed > Strategy in that one battle?
I think at the end of the day,
Kanto Ash has had more battle experience than Goh.
Kanto Ash did defeat some Gym Leaders and win badges out of merit.
Kanto Ash trained an entire team of Pokemon.
Kanto Ash did participate in the regional Pokemon League and got to the top 16 and would've possibly at least gotten to the top 8 if he didn't have to forfeit against Ritchie.
Goh so far, took part in 1 tournament where he was absolutely clobbered in the first round. Other than that, he's thrown Pokeballs on several wild Pokemon and the only other victory of his I can think of is against the Karate Master ( who you could say at max, is the equivalent of 1 Kanto Gym Leader at) and this wild Pokemon capture which in your eyes automatically makes Goh superior to Kanto ash
Naturally, Goh has the other advantage of being in the company of veteran trainer Ash, unlike Kanto Ash who was in the company of Brock and Misty who weren't really better battlers than him at the time. While Goh is obviously improving, claiming he is superior to Kanto Ash because of a battle against a wild pokemon is just absurd.
The only fair way to judge who is the better trainer is to simply look at all their accomplishments so far and decide. If Goh managed to give Kiawe some trouble, I would've automatically stated Goh is >>>>> Kanto Ash. However, Goh so far hasn't displayed enough feats to put him above Kanto Ash as a trainer.
Unfortunately, we can't use Pokemon captures anymore to gauge how strong Goh is simply because of how trivial and easy the capture system has been changed to this particular season. Ash had more trouble capturing a fletchling and tailow than Goh has had capturing fully evolved pokemon (By simply chucking a Pokeball at them). To add to that, if you go back to OG kanto, Ash ended up capturing a questionable "Donut" when he tried chucking a Pokeball on Mankey and think back as to how difficult that particular capture was.
So until we see Goh perform in actual trainer battles, we can't really conclude how he stacks up to Kanto Ash.
I apologize I missed your comment and didn't respond to it. However, the only person who is belittling people here is you. You are insulting me and accusing me of belittling someone when all I did is objectively point out something wrong with that argument.
If I'm wrong, do tell me how.
The person was claiming that more than 1 Pokemon vs a single Pokemon was Barbaric. I simply stated that this is not necessarily true and gave a very good example why.
So are you telling me, using 4 rattatas against a Charizard is more barbaric than using 3 Rayquazas against it simply because 4>3?
or Using 2 ratatas against a spearow is more barbaric than say, Leon using his Charizard against it?
If you have a problem with something I said factually, then please feel free to take it up with me. If not, I suggest you keep your irrelevant belittling nonsensical comments to yourself.
