Ash will win the Alola League. Things are actually different this time
- Thread starter Busaiku
- Start date
Wait, are you saying the Kanto gym battles/episodes are the best ones? Anything since XY is waaaay better imo.
Itd be funny if in the final episode the camera cuts and we see a much older Ash. Turna out he was aging the entire time but since he never won his self perception never 'evolved.'
Ah ok, then I agree. These episodes had fantastic animation and style.
The only issue I have with the battles in Sun and Moon is how Z moves basically work like going Super Saiyan. Until that's used you know its not over, and its often what ends battles. XY was similar with Mega Evolutions near the end of its run, but at least it was still a battle after that.
On the contrary, Sun and Moon were much tougher games than XY in general. Why does the Gym/League formula matter? (Red and Green were even in the postgame, and they were an entry point challenge to the tree)
It seems like Sword and Shield is possibly doing something different too.

They had their chance, their last chance, with XY and the buildup they gave Greninja. They could have had him win and take a victory lap with Serena in Sun/Moon but they didn't. At this point no one gives a shit. Can you imagine if in Yu-Gi-Oh Yugi just lost each and every single tournament? Dude won all the time and people fucking loved it.
I didn't actually pay attention after Ash lost to the Charizard, can someone tell me did Ash leave his unique one of a kind Greninja in a fucking box? Because if so, that is beyond fucked. Dude already has an all star team of six ready to go whenever he wants. At this point Pikachu, Charizard, Sceptile, Infernape, and Greninja would be a monster team that would give anyone a run for their money. That sixth spot can go to any number of other good mons he has.

Speak for yourself and nobody else thx. That shit really annoys me in Prince of Tennis and Hajime no Ippo. Like I actually wanted the protagonists to lose more than win. The show is a tie in promotional deal so they're not going to sideline the regions lineup so whingy adults can watch a 10 yr old win a Pokemon battle.
Like someone mentioned, the audience changes over time rather than catering to adults who are still watching. I dont know what would be gained from changing the protagonists "for the kids". That doesn't make any sense.

I hope they let ash win if only because I want him retired.
I know it's a long shot, but I'd love a new protag for kids today (like are we gonna be seeing this kid for 40 years?). Hell, keep pikachu. Maybe have the main protag have 2 primary pokemon 1 pika and another equivalent. But I'm not really invested in this like everyone else, I'm just down for seeing someone new with a different personality/general design to ash. Obviously we can never loose pikachu the REAL protagonist.

I'd link to the original thread to show where this belief gets you, but I ain't giving that shit site clicks.
I mean, at least that's just improbable rather than outright impossible.
I got mad remembering how awesome this fight was only for Ash to job at the end. You could write a term paper on the existential nihilism of a 20 year old cartoon where the main character loses every major league he enters.
I remember the avatar bet of the previous time and still laugh; don't do this to yourselves again.
Boy will you all have egg on your face when Ash wins the Superbowl and the Buffalo Bills become the Alola League Champions.
Who else we gonna stan, cuz it sure as hell ain't Ash
Meanwhile Gary's living his best life
The problem is their roster is split 3 ways so I dont know how it would work without them going full Vincent Adultman (this is a real possibility)
Ash will only win once he turns 11 years old.
:(
The pokemon anime is the literal definition of insanity.
tbh, it's entire existance is to get you frustrated enough with ash, so you'll buy the game just to prove that being a champion isn't hard at all.

Ah, I see we're at that point in The Pokemon Anime Cycle™ where a few people start to entertain the idea of Ash finally winning it all. Surely this time it'll happen!

I don't know why people put so much stock on Ash in Kalos.
Kalos Ash and Pikachu were the most boring ever. Pikachu did like nothing after Korrina. Noibat, Hawlucha, and Talonflame were all jobbers. Goodra only had 1 battle before being released.
Greninja was legit, but everyone else sucked.

Pikachu was bopping Alains whole team. Greninja couldnt even beat the charizard that got softened up for him.
They will make an excuse to make scorbunny not evolve like he kicked a everstone thinking it was a football

Ash has already beaten Legendary equivalent Pokémon this gen, has a rivalry with a Legendary Pokémon, caught Mythical and Legendary equivalent Pokémon, and has commanded a Legendary Pokémon.
Prior to the League.
This, Pikachu vs Metagross was a better fight than Greninja vs Charizard

We havent even gotten the obligatory "ends in a draw" final battle yet.
it'll be a double KO, and no-one is declared the winner.
I think it's time to realise, ash is simply not cut out to be a trainer. He's got very low battle IQ.
He's got a lv99 pikachu, but fails to use it properly.

Honestly, I always thought the Greninja fusion was the weirdest shit in the anime (both how it literally gets his hair complete with lightning bolt decals, and how nobody else in the world has ever had that ability). He had some chosen one bullshit that felt like it was right out of the anime movies.
Did you all really want him to win with that kind of nonsense?
Like how are people trying to de-legitimize the Alola league while ignoring that Anime Kalos league had this completely nonsense powerup.
how bored and lacking priorities do you gotta be to be complaining about what people watch on a forum

I don't think complaining about cartoons in an Internet forum thread is much higher on the rung.
Not to be rude, but are you serious? The biggest blockbuster of the year has superheros fighting a purple people eater. The biggest television event of the year had dragons and ice zombies. Modern entertainment culture built on childish things, and you're going to draw the line at cartoons?

Only if because it's not a real League just like Orange Islands wasn't a real League.
They can easily stretch this out for a few more gens without much trouble. Gen 8,Ash wins league, loses to Elite4 member #1. Gen 9, Ash beats league, loses to Elite4 member #3.Gen 10 Ash wins league, Loses to Elite4 member#4.Gen 11 Ash Beats league, loses to the champion. And that's by skipping a loss from Elite 4 member #2 and you already have 12 years worth of anime without Ash becoming champion. Add a loss to elite member #2 and you get 15 years worth of anime without Ash being champion. Have Ash reach thesame level as before (like winning top 8 twice, here losing to the champion twice) and you add 3 more, or maybe even more. By then you can just have Ash win but continue to want to win another championship or just want to coach a new pokemon trainer to become a master.
