Humans are tools
Alain properly trained only his Lizardon (just like Red in the Origins he clearly relies on his starter only, while ignores another ones) and, to a lesser extent, Metagross. Wevr never seen the rest of his party doing anything except being a fodder to Ash :/ If Charizard X is the Elite 4 material, then the rest of his party are not.
Paul, on another side, trains all of his Pokemon kinda equally.
Still wont change that MC X alone could solo all of paul's best pokemon by himself without needing any help, which shows its results something paul didn't show he is still foddr compared to E4 caliber trainers, even controlling ME require hard wotk. Alain's training gave much better results than paul.
