Episode 38: ChadAsh receiving directly pokemon attacks to protect his own pokemon. You don't see other people doing this. Reckless or Fearless, who knows.
I like the fact that it was called a "Battle Royal" but it just came down to 3v1.
Wyatt Roberts
Why exactly did they make her so strong in the anime? What narrative purpose did it serve to have a one-time appearance gym leader challenge Ash to a 3v6 and still come within inches of winning even after giving her opponent a Pecha Berry MIDMATCH? Like, I know Unova Ash was a massive shitter, but I don't get the point of making Roxie so strong.
>takes a direct hit from a Trevenant's Will-o'-Wisp >'They're my friends, so I will protect them!' Holy based, what an absolute legend
James Rogers
What if someone likes both?
Connor Wright
Now, Ash being the Alola Champion is all well and good. But is that an impressive feat when the league was fought against literal who's and he is the first ever champion? No. Ash is a pathetic protagonist and anyone cheering for him should understand they are not cheering an underdog, they are cheering a failure of a trainer who can only compete and win when there is no competence whatsoever.
Brayden Bailey

Jaxson Morris
>Reckless Yeah, Serena thinks it's reckless and she hates it when he does shit like this. She would die of a heart attack of all the dumb shit he does if they ended up together
Nathaniel Hall
I'm kinda surprised Gladion jobbed as hard as he did, only for his folks to say "haha yeah, he's gotten so strong!". It was a pretty bad look.
Jordan Davis
She’s probably used to it by now. The first thing she saw of Ash was him doing a suicide dive to catch Pikachu off Lumiose Tower.
Gabriel Rivera
I'll play along. If that was the case they would take diferent path long ago. She know very well how Ash can be, both good and bad sides and she's ok with it. Call it "love is blind" if you want.
>this is the stigma we're forever stuck with >all because they let Ash lose every League except the special needs island league I hate this fucking timeline
Dylan Lewis
Didn't other pokegirls call out Ash's recklessness or is it shipping bias?
Cameron Thomas
kill yourself
Matthew Morgan
Gladion is an edgelord jobber.
Jeremiah Adams
Dawn got into an argument over him about it once. Other than that not really. Iris and Misty would just chastise him being a kid.
Ryan White
>50563957 I tried to apply for jannie twice previously and it's so I can properly label these as genwar posts.
Also, it feels like I can't post any positive Serena / Amour pics without you anti-Serenafags stealing them.
Nicholas White
>Gladion/Kukui (112) >Gary (113) >Paul (114) >Alan (115) Based
Alexander Long
Still he's supposedly the runner up. But I guess they weren't going to let his "dad" be knocked out first, and probably wanted Kiawe to get revenge. His dialogue from his folks was kinda shit though, because he didn't seem strong at all.
Logan Howard
Ash's "dad"*
Chase Carter
>116 having a Trip comeback with him seething.
Owen Ward
Clemont tanked a Shadow Ball to protect Luxio in a later episode
Adam Lee
They could have returned Tyson if they wanted to, but I guess they didn't. Nojiken is still active.
Jonathan Williams
>Kiawe keeps screaming about Ash being his rival >HERE'S MY Z MOVE MAX POWER >Ash easily dodges it
god, Z-Moves were fucking retared.
Jaxon Allen
Yeah pretty sure other characters do the same in the 30 years this anime be airing. Just saying is very rare someone else aside Ash do so
Luis Moore
Yeah, easily the worst gimmick.
James Roberts
I remember that Serena was about to tank a seed bomb until Eevee used protect
Andrew Roberts
Kiawe told him he’d fuck him up the next time they met and he wasn’t lying
Angel Carter
>I don't get the point of making Roxie so strong. She was the final Gym Leader
Isaiah Rogers
That 3vs6 was so insulting.
Oliver Lee
Or her headbutting Inkay.
Angel Edwards
Fucking hell that makes me cringe.
Luke Stewart
The XY cast was crazy
Julian Cooper
It's especially stupid because the 'qualifications' that supposedly set other leagues apart are arbitrary And Journeys retroactively made Kalos look like a shitter's region, so using XY as evidence for 'qualifications' is nebulous
James Rivera
Serena attacked a pokemon? I need to watch that lol
Justin Collins
I wonder if that Headbutt was a STAB move, cuz it definitely did some solid damage back there.
Brayden Reed
Maybe I’m incorrect but I’m pretty sure Grant in XY was also only using 3 mons while the challenger could use 6. It’s just at the time Ash only had 3 I think because he hadn’t gotten luchabird.
Caleb Perez
I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the Alola group as a whole being treated as more of a family than the other groups but they are clearly trying to make Kukui out to be a dad-like figure. That being said, I like Kukui as a character so, it's not terrible.
Brody Murphy
>nebulous You literally just have to collect Gym Badges, it's the clearest set of 'qualifications' there is. >K-Kalos! >RETROACTIVELY WEAK! Stop being so obsessed, you're only embarrassing yourself!
Luke Parker
Jessie and James once tanked a fucking Tyranitar
Wyatt Peterson
Yeah I know, they basically turned Kukui and Burnet into his surrogate parents. I just find it to be incredibly cringe, just like the rest of the 'Alolan family' aspect of this series.
Evan Morris
What were they thinking when they let all of Ash’s classmates advance? Literally made Guzma correct when he said it was a schoolyard league.
Owen Nelson
It's arbitrary retard If it wasn't, tell me why you need 8 badges and not 7 or 9
