>Ash was able to move on from this and become World Champion while grown men are still stuck on a personified Deus Ex Machina from the mid-2000s
>>
>>292174162
But seriously, how big is the world for nobody to mention this guy ever again? Owning at least two legendaries is not mean feat, unless he was frauded by Cynthia effortlessly, in which case he would have been a pushover and probably had no match to mega/z/max gimmicks on the world stage

>>292174162
Tobias walked so Alain could run.

>>292174672
Plot twist.
The rest of his team was a bunch of magicarps.
He just got lucky ash lost all his mons to KO Darkray and Latios, or else he was going to insta-win the rest of the battle
>>
>>292174672
>unless he was frauded by Cynthia effortlessly
The implication is he was. He drops the line Draco Meteor would defeat his non-Darkrai mons (Latios is a Dragon which is weak against Dragon Type moves) and Cynthia's strongest mon is Garchomp. Basically he gets soloed like he soloed almost everyone with Darkrai.

>Ash won two pity badly done tournaments in Alola and Bongland only because the hate the studio and the faggot director got for screwing him out of his win X and Y.
>Moved on
Ash's entire story is always fumbling when it matters and winning the most pointless tournaments ever, like that time he won the orange league after losing in Johto.
>>

>he won the orange league after losing in Johto.
That was before.
>>
>>292174672
It was just a regional tournament. Even regional champions aren't that big a deal as far as sports popular all across the world are concerned, and Shirona was clearly portrayed as much stronger than this guy.
>>
>>292175145
I like how all the smug faggots that went "I totally knew he was going to lose in Kalos because he always loses but also totally knew that he was going to win in Alola because the mc in the game becomes Champion there" ended up looking like the retards they were when that GF leak included a meeting transcript that revealed he WAS going to lose in Alola too and that they DID change their mind because they got reminded of how pissed people got about Kalos.

Doesn’t matter how you get the pot of gold; All that matters is you beat the leprechaun.

But Alan won the leprechaun.
>>
>>292175145
I still think ash even being able to participate in the champion tournament was bullshit with how the alola "league" was a glorified backyard tournament full of novices, and then you're to believe that ash became a champion level trainer when he wasnt even elite 4 level prior?

>>292175566
I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes with those "writers" but they were probably just told to wrap this shit up, and gave ash a pity league victory again as closure so they could move on with the new protagonist.

The Alola League happened almost 3 years before they decided to write him off.

Aren't the legendaries treated like minor gods in the movies? Why does this random guy have two of them?
>>
The gen 4 anime was so good, it felt like the only season written by someone who played the games
>>
>>292176506
Depends on the legendary/mythical. Both of them got their ass beat hard in their movie, with Latios actually dying and Darkrai seemingly dying but getting a "hey look it survived after all" scene at the very end right before the credits rolled. Neither of them were presented as THAT impossibly strong.
>>
>>292176547
Gen 4, 6 and 9 are all good shows that clearly demonstrate a strong familiarity with the games.

The lugia movie wanked lugia as some godly bird parallel to ho-oh. In the show it's just a rare oversized pelipper

There 'actual' Capital G God jobbed to lightning, chandeliers and rocks.
Pokemon is not a well written or consistent series, and I'm pretty sure the writers don't actually know anything about the Pokemon themselves.
>>
>>292174162
Who?
>>
>>292174672
Lots of people just do their own thing and don't care about the league. Alain for example was going against elite four and never even once considered entering the league until ash mentioned it to him or something

After ainnoh league tobais probably went back to camping in the mountains or something looking for legendaries.

It's the same in the games with Red too, caught legendaries, won the leauge, and then dropped off the face of the earth. All the protags are like that actually
>>
Was Torkoal Ash's worst Pokémon?
>>
>>292179579
I love that Ash specifically picked Torkoal to use against a legendary two different times. He had so much confidence in that thing.
>>
>>292174162
>YOU TAKE THE BREATH RIGHT OUT OF MEEEEE
>>
>>292174672
He was just a sloppy written narrative tool used to justify Ash not winning Sinnoh league despite being genuinely skilled trainer with pretty good team at that time.

Sadly writters dropped the ball by making Tobias look like a 8yo child powertripping after discovering Game Genie.

>>292176745
This actually was explained later in the games but Arceus =/= The God.
True Arceus/Shin'oh/God literally cannot be comprehended by humans and was shown only as a orb of light in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Arceus Pokemon is just one of his "hands" that he sends to interact with people and other Pokemon.
>>
>>292179671
from what i remember it actually did pretty well against brandon
anyway reminder there was a random guy with a heatran in the league and he didnt even make it to the final rounds
>>
>>292174672
>>292174756
That's a cope people made up, the guy just didn't even bother to challenge Cynthia or anyone. He was made exclusively to sabotage Ash, so much so that he wasn't even written with the hype and attention someone capturing two Legendaries, let alone those Legendaries, would warrant at any other point in the series.
>>
>>292174162
I just stopped watching pokemon after this
>>
>>292181011
You picked the perfect time to stop watching
>>
>>292174438
The other reply to your post just proved you right, so...
