Diantha saying "had that hit, we wound't have stood a chance". Maldread: She's just bluffing to herself and over-exaggerating for no reason, despite this was going on in her head.
Nice straw man. That line is more indicative that the attack would have hurt, not that Gardevoir would have been KO'd.
Serena saying "they had Carnet-san backed into a corner!" after Diantha mega evolved. Maldread: Serena's not a good battler, so she's unreliable. What, so the writers put that inaccurate line in just to show how bad Serena was at battles? No, when the spectators commentate they are used by the writers to convey their interpretation of the battle.
"Got..backed into a corner" (and another subbed source offers a different translation) from a non-battle expert in a situation where Gardevoir just ME'd and visibly not in any bind, on top of established context, doesn't add anything to A-G other than yes, he is an impressive Pokemon who landed some hits on (M)-Gardevoir. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.
Mega-Gardevoir was visibly exhausted after the battle, and Diantha said "that was too much, wasn't it?" Maldread: Mega-Gardevoir got tired from beating TR, not from battling AG.
After Diantha orders M-Gardevoir to "full power" her way through a TR bind.
AG OHKO's base Sceptile. Maldread: Sceptile was tired from the previous exchanges. Sceptile had taken zero damage from Greninja, and it has more than enough stamina to not get exhausted after firing off two or three attacks. Sawyer isn't that bad of a trainer.
Stamina drain regardless, on top of Sceptile not being super powerful either. Sawyer is a rookie, although plot-be-the-powers gave him unrealistic spikes.
See what I mean by you lowballing absolutely everything, while at the same time overrating Meowth based on the sole fact that Tyson was the Champion?
More like putting it in reasonable context alongside A-G's other feats against Wulfric, Sawyer, and Alain.
Astrid's Mega Absol was revered as a pokemon that overshadowed the rest of the competition and Alain's Metagross is even above that by a large margin. Tyson's Metagross however? Not really given how Tyson's Ace was portrayed in the League. It's practically insulting what you're insinuating here. Such a covert attempt at underrating Ash-Greninja's power.
1. Where was M-Absol "revered"?
2. How is Alain's Metagross "above that by a large margin"?
3. How is Tyson's ace not portrayed as a powerhouse? It took 3 Pokemon to bring it down, largely due to a crack in its armor and Pikachu's form advantage. Tyson even remarked that the battle would end with Metagross.
Does this really need to be explained?
This is visual proof that Ash-Greninja can literally swamp Brandon's pokemon given what the inferior Darkrai accomplished against Torkoal. This is an objective analysis and nothing biased against. You're simply controverting the evidence I presented because you're so attached to tarnishing Ash-Greninja's reputation.
So much wrong here. When did Darkrai become inferior to A-G? Darkrai lost due to a collective effort (even while gaining some stamina back) of Heracross/Torkoal/Gible/Sceptile (and set up Latios for an instant KO), due to stamina drain and guile. Also, why are you not considering out-of-universe factors that diminished Torkoal and Swellow in that episode?
"Objective analysis" Lol. Hard to consider any of this with merit when a bunch of doppelgangers (wouldn't even be surprised if it was the same poster) who joined in the last few months and have a clear XY-inclination start saying stuff like above.
