Maybe not, but I'm sure they've got other "cop outs" ready to use...

ChaosMage said:In think they also don't want to compare the Hitmons. Whenever alternate evolutions have battled (which is quite rarely), it gbets interrupted so that one won't be favoured over another by fans (especially snce only one can be obtained in each game). Maybe that's another reason why starter battles are avoided nowadays.
Oh, please. I doubt she would win because Hitmonlee has the upper hand(or leg) because, if this was put in a realistic veiw, Hitmonlee's legs are longer(which is natural, even in humans) than Hitmonchan's arms, thus giving Hitmonlee the ability to kick Hitmonchan as he is performing a close-range attack. Plus, Ash has been in 5 seasons and he SHOULD be better than May because he has more experience. Just because she got an uber Squirtle and a crazy Skitty with powerful attacks doesn't mean that she would be good at battling. Having DREW beat MAY is sexist, but Ash beating May is techicnally not sexist because he has more experience.Originally posted by Sweet_May
the episode was a bit awesome....... Ash and May's battle was great but no winner....... XP
but for a sec there, i thought May was gonna win
if i were to rate it, i'd give it a 7/10

Well, you have a point that Ash would totally walk over May if the authors had some respect. But it would be understandable for Ash to lose to someone like Tetsuya or Harrison because they have been trainers longer and have managed to evovle their pokemon to their peak(unlike SOMEONE else we know *cough*Ash*cough*), but May has only been a character for one season and shouldn't be able to be as a threat to Ash because he should have more knowlegde of pokemon battling than her, not only because he was older and was a trainer for 5 seasons, but also because ASH IS THE FRIGGIN" MAIN CHARACTER AND DESERVES MORE RESPECT THAN MAY! I mean, the proof is in her uber squirtle. Ash never got a super powerful pokemon, other than Charizard, who pretty much had issues until Charizard Valley, unlike the all powerful and clumsy May who isn't the main, main character.Originally Posted by JazzJazz
If the show were more appreciate of Ash's experience he'd totally walk over May... they had to make them seem even or it wouldn't have been much of a match (or episode), would it?

The Kapoera-Girl..whatever her name was..was veeeery cute and sexy IMO..In the Kapoera attacking scene it looked almost like a panty-shot..too bad it´s pokemon ^^"
oh, and I liked the "ramen-mecha-slice-scene".

Pure n' simple~
But May learned directly from Ash and Brock, enabling her to grow in experience more quickly. Plus, wasn't it a respectful move to have them using Pokemon that were not theirs and thus of fairly equal experience level? Those Pokemon's already present skills are what made the match so even.BrokenDreams said:Well, you have a point that Ash would totally walk over May if the authors had some respect.

Wow... I guess you weren't around for the countless ranting threads about Ash's uber Pikachu back in the day... dark times those were...I mean, the proof is in her uber squirtle. Ash never got a super powerful pokemon, other than Charizard, who pretty much had issues until Charizard Valley, unlike the all powerful and clumsy May who isn't the main, main character.
