After more than 20 years, Ash has finally become the champion of the Pokémon League
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
Well he did leave home and the schooling system when he was 10.
...And rejoined the schooling system at 10...
...And lost 6 leagues, won 1, won a sorta one (?)...
...Kid's had an emotional year.
for real... even though it seemed likely I was planning on watching this tomorrow
Its finally a show that's worth recommending just as a decent anime instead of just a special interest in Pokemon.
I get that they're just following the game's story, where Ash will likely now have to "defend his title", but why did they have to pick THIS league for him to finally win? The worst league. It's no better than his victory in the Orange Islands.
Lmao, I foresaw a post like this. It's true that OP could've at least waited a few hours, it's hella early in the morning for me anyways
Other than that, Ash FINALLY winning is too big of a deal to keep under wraps for too long :3

Considering this is being tweeted out by the official accounts, news sites and becoming a trending topic on Twitter, you would have known either way lol
Sun and Moon is very much worth watching, with the caveat that it's different from the other seasons in a lot of ways. It has a heavy focus on slice of life and comedy. And I'd say he deserved the win- he's done a great job the whole season.
Definitely my favorite Pokémon show.
The orange league was a joke lol. There wasn't even a tournament there- he just had to fight a single battle lol
I really like the anime, especially compared to previous seasons. A lot of people didn't like this league but I found it better since it starred the actual characters from the series and not some rando with a Darkrai
I remember reading that they'd keep adding badges and if he ever did become champion that the show would end? Or maybe they're just gonna finally have another protagonist?
Couldn't do it when the show was actually cool and good?
He was fucking robbed during X/Y. Why make him lose there if you were just gonna have him win next season ugh. >:(

I've seen people born and die during these last 20 years.
Fucking Ash man, I was emotionally invested on the last League, not this one!

While the context of the Alola League itself is pretty eh, what I've seen of the Sun & Moon anime is the best it's ever been tbh
...Oh no. Oh no no no.
It's going to be like Champion Blue. A reign of five minutes.
Easily (apart from Gym battles where XY has the most consistently good ones)
Looks mean nothing. Rowlet is easily better than Torterra for example lol
It's ok, just very different than any other previous season. Even though there's sort of a story, the adventure itself isn't that defined, like in previous seasons where you knew which gym leaders he still had to defeat.
I know Pokémon has never distinguished for being the best quality anime, and it got very repetitive over the years, but I think they had found the perfect style with XY seasons. SM was a very abrupt change.
Did he deserve it? I guess so. There weren't many expert trainers in the league, so if he didn't it would've been even more humiliating.
I just wish the final battle was with Pikachu.
Actual cool dude. Battle hardened trainer with 18 years of experience.
A literal child.
Good. Now, he can retire and someone new can take his place. (Or, since this is Alola, he's probably going to play title defense, lose, and we're right back at square one.)
Also, he doesn't look nearly as happy as he should be after all his previous attempts at leagues.

First one lost and second one won :)
