Why are people surprised? She canonically rapes anyone who isn't the player character or objectively exists above her level like the AI Professor (and since player characters can't exist in the anime, she rapes everyone who isn't AI Professor-tier by default), every single time she gets the chance to battle someone.

You get it anon. She's basically the strongest trainer in Paldea. She lost once against Roy and ever since than, she stopped holding back.

I would believe this if it was any other character but she always holds back until she feels like like her opponent is strong enough. Hell, it takes completing the gym story line for her to stop holding back against You.
>>
>>58923457
Horizonfags were saying that the anime takes place in the games universe and that the story takes place after SV too so you can imagine why some are angry

TL;DR: Roy was a mistake

The drama over Goh rescuing Suicune from the poachers was absolutely retarded just like everyone making a big deal over Popplio being "ugly". Or Mega Meganium having a 4× weaknesses to Poison of all things when people WANTED the Pokemon to be Grass/Fairy in the first place.

To set them apart from other members of the species who appeared in the Ashnime.

Because they're no longer constrained by the "main characters can't have legendaries" rule of the Ashnime.
>>
>>58923682
Your average Pokemon fan might genuinely be braindead with how often they get mad about this stuff. Like there is one retard I’ve seen online who constantly bitches about Horizon’s Rayquaza and Zygarde not serving the same function they do in the games.
>>
>>58923707
All shinies in the show exist as such just to be distinct. Shiny Fug and Zygarde specifically in order to separate them from the game ones and likely to get a yin and yang thing going. As for the Legendaries, Horizons cast isn’t sticking around long term, so they get that privilege unlike Ash who needed to reset every generation.

>>
>>58923766
Pokemon anime threads suck ass in general. /a/ is somewhat fine the day episodes air, but it quickly stops being about talking about the episode and just posting about yuri. And it’s terrible it you actually care to talk about Roy.
>>
>>58923785
Why would you want to talk about Roy?
>>
>>58923785
It's hard to care about Roy when you have Liko and Dot who appears more complex than him and that's a stretch.
>>
>>58923792
To actually talk about the show and not just about Liko’s legs or how much Liko wants to fuck Dot and vice versa.
>>
>>58923785
The /a/ threads are fine, probably the most indepth discussion on the anime you can find on the internet. From what I've seen it's pretty good at talking about points anons bother bringing up, so if you want to talk about something specific about an episode it's not more difficult than just bringing it up in a post.
>>
>>58923801
Dot is my favorite character by far, but at his point in the show all the characters have basically reached the apex of their growth baring Uruto. Now it’s just more or less getting them prepared for the final battle. Its also why people barely actually talk about either if them unless its about yuri.

Lucario has been unable to win anything without using Mega Evolution since XY.
>>
>>58924409
Horizons powerscaling is basically just the natural increase in power most battle shows have. As the story progresses the characters train and they get an ambiguous amount stronger until they can believably overcome whatever wall was in front of them. The OG anime had worse powerscaling because it treated E4, Champions and Legendaries as untouchable for most of its run because they were not walls Ash was ever meant to overcome. He was always meant to lose in the Pokemon league tournaments and keep going forever. That is until Alola where he gets to win a pity league and Journeys where he then proceeded to raise a baby Riolu into a champion tier Lucario with his special aura powers which haven’t been referenced since Sinnoh.

Horizons power scaling can be wonky at times, but it’s ultimately no different from the games in terms of how the player narratively can overcome all these immense obstacles, Ash just set the precedent that an anime protagonist would need to struggle for 25 years before becoming this strong.

>Right below Anya

>>
>>58924482
Pokemon has a built in rock paper scissors mechanic that within the context of an anime arbitrarily makes a Pokemon’s attacks stronger if the type match-up favors it, yet because that would make for a boring show the disadvantaged Pokemon can also just arbitrarily be allowed to withstand such attacks. There is no feasible way to keep Pokemon power levels entirely consistent while adhering to the world’s own mechanics. That’s why Ash was allowed to just ignore them and do random bullshit because it made the show more interesting to watch.

Disclaimer that I haven't actually watched Horizons, I just follow along, but is this something that's actually pointed to in the anime (that Nemona was holding back against Roy that time he previously defeated her) or just going off her game character? Because it would be pretty interesting to see an anime character who's actively holding back and then decides to stop doing so. I feel like that's not really something we've seen in the show thus far, unless you counr Ash bringing out his reserves.

>>58923542
It's a battle shonen loosely based off a video game with a well-known battle system. Why wouldn't people care about powerscaling?

>>58924774
And then that same Lucario got defeated by Pikachu in an official gym battle a relatively short while later, after it had mastered its Mega Evolution.

>>58924759
Yeah it makes no sense that Ash and his team are suddenly champion-level in Journeys when just about every previous series showed him and his peers as far below that... I guess you could kind of use Ash and Greninja's battle against Diantha as a kind of transition, though you can easily argue that Diantha was just holding back. Definitely just a result of backlash to the Kalos League.

The anime never said anything about her holding back if I remember, but the current fight is literally them training for the upcoming final fight. She didn't hold back so he can learn to become stronger. Also, during their previous fight, where she lost, that was only because Lucario had a longer reach. I'm not joking, they were doing a cross counter where Lucario only won because his arm was longer and didn't get hit.

The biggest issue with Horizons is that there's no real "bar" for progression and no set standard whatsoever for anything.
It's the same issue as with Ash in Journeys. There's simply no way to believe that on a long continuous narrative these kids have gotten this strong, even worse, they got a timeskip where one of the kids supposedly trained hard and tryharded and yet he's also vaguely still on the same level of the other two. And even now they're still "training" and "getting stronger" except beforehand we also saw them fighting and not getting instantly dropped against giant Pokemon and legendaries but then somehow after they "got stronger" they do get fucked over but before the fourth "getting stronger" they were able to defeat a Champion.
You don't have to be a powerscaler to feel something off and wonky.
People try to bring up that it is "realistic" because that's how it is in the games too but ultimately these both are very different mediums and what works in one and what is easy to swallow in one may not work and is hard to believe in another.

You bring up Ash, and sure, it all took a gorillion years IRL, but the progression was "believable" because Ash was doing better each region, as long as you ignore the mess that was Unova. And even with the E4 and Champions being portrayed as OP as hell even those were getting chipped a little more with every new appearance. And so what if they were OP as hell? They're supposed to be so. How else are their titles supposed to mean shit? Or you'd rather everyone get clowned on like Geeta?
If anything people were upset because everyone knew the problem was not the powerscaling not making sense but that Ash big losses were the result of shit writers and suits being retarded.

It doesn’t need a bar. Dragon Ball didn’t have a bar, Goku would just face a new opponent that was stronger than the last. Horizons is the same, the cast will be faced with a challenge they must overcome and once they do a new one will present itself. They beat a champion together when that Champion was primarily testing their readiness for Area Zero, they didn’t get instantly dropped by the 6 heroes but they also didn’t actually manage to beat them, just earn their approval. Rayquaza was the only one they debatably beat but even then he was getting jumped. It wasn’t until the timeskip that they became more capable of battling as individuals, but by that point steroids came into play which is why they struggled so hard against the 6 heroes in their first post timeskip battle and needed to train to better finally properly beat them individually in their second post timeskip battle.

Ash’s progress was “believable” because of course you’d expect a character who has been around for several regions to get better, but that’s not plausible for characters meant to exist for a single generation. E4 and Champions weren’t just presented as OP, they were presented is basically invincible until they NEEDED to be able to bleed in Journeys, or in Kalos’ case when they wanted to show off Ash's special form. Geeta was treated more reasonably for the story, strong but not incapable of being overcome, even then it took all 3 of them to barely eek by a victory.

Titles like Champion and Elite 4 retain their meaning because they have full teams of 6 which the cast haven’t battled yet. The issues is people forget this and act like a Champion losing even one is impossible unless facing a trainer of equal standing.

Completely different gameplay formulas, never mind that they haven't canonically fought at any point. Trying to rely on raw levels is a fool's errand as well, because they have no solid basis of canonicity unless you're willing to believe Red's Pokemon canonically leveled down, something that literally cannot happen to the player under any circumstance whatsoever.

You know, this got me thinking.
Pretty much the only reason Jacinthe is popular is because of her yuriship with Lebanne.
Is Nemona really the only truly genuinely popular, relatively speaking, dark-skinned Pokemon character that is so as a solo act?

The Pokémon fandom are unironic pedophiles who lust after the underaged female characters, and they are the only ones watching Horizons and keeping the anime alive so it makes sense why they care so little for Roy and only cares for Liko and other similar bratty female characters

No? It could have won the kanto league if it wanted, it kicked ass in the entei movie, carried Ash's ass against Gary in the johto league, beat an Articuno without training for it, and had a spot on Red's team in the games. You're getting too distracted by ash shittem's jobbing to realize Charizard's mostly been a winner.

Roy doesn't have much backstory, which makes him feel kind of flat compared to the rest of the cast. Say what you will about the characters, but they tried to give them all some kind of background compared to the old show.

Her team being one of the strongest in the series (counting the Battle Sim spinoffs) let alone the main series is pretty irrefutable. The fact that 4/6 of her team members are basically just Minor Legendary-tier for free and the other two are competently built alongside being a flat Level 100 puts her heads and shoulders above 99.9% of the competition. The only thing you can argue that she's only as strong as she is due to fucking around with Z-A's mechanics and that her team isn't strong outside of that context.

That's a mechanical limitation of the game, not really something you can hold against her
>Minor Legendary-tier
Anon did you eve fucking WATCH the game? Four of her mons Mega Evolve immediately (Meowstic, Manectric, and the two starters you didn't pick) completely ignoring the Mega Gauge, meaning she essentially just gets to use a 566, 575, and TWO 630 BST mons for free.

This, plus the fags going "oh no no Horizonsfags/Likofags what is our response" as if any of this show's fans actually like Roy and his dog.
At least try to pay some slight attention to the thing you supposedly have actual reasons to hate so much.
>>
>>58929537
Roy has as much backstory as Liko or Dot. Most of what people would consider Liko’s backstory is her family’s history, not her own.
>>
>>58930310
>it shit

Do people unironically use that talking point against Volo?
>>
>>58930602
Ofc not. He's Cynthia adjacent and in Masters ex, he took on multiple trainers at once while clowning on Cynthia and took Giratina from her.
>>
Ok guys. How do we fix Roy.
>>
>>58930602
>Volo
No one considers Volo as having the best NPC team or being the strongest trainer
In Masters he already lost twice to Cynthia in official fights
>double Giratina
Giratina is not officially on his pokemon team, just allied and it ran away afterward
>>
wait I thought it was a zeraora LOL

Samurott going Tera Ground against Tera Fire Armarouge has to be one of the most full retard moves in the anime, it already had the type advantage and a resistance, all going Tera Ground does is remove its Fire resistance

Anon, two of the characters in that screenshot 2nd (Korrina) and 3rd place (Emma) in terms of strength with the MC being the obvious strongest.

In the previous battles, Pawmot needed the help of a doubles partner to land Focus Punch, but now it can just dodge everything
>>
Why did she even lose to Roy in the first place? She's clearly a better trainer than him given how their next two battles played out?
>>
>>58931106
Lucario won through the difference in the physical shape between it and Pawmot. Plus the element of a new gimmick to her you could say. She adapted and won, on-brand.

Likoanime treats Teras as if like a Pokemon is going Super Saiyan, a general all-around boost. It's really dumb and silly and completely defeats the point of Tera as a whole. I don't even like Tera very much but the portrayal in Likoanime has been super ass since it eschews the potential strategic component of it.
>>
>>58931106
Because she wasn’t experienced in double battles, so when she went to blueberry she focused specifically on training in that.
>>
>>58930580
I mean, no. Roy doesn't even have a single episode dedicated to his background because he has none. He is there for young male viewers to project themselves onto. He still has character development, but even Dot has more going on (which is probably why they introduced Ult).
>>
>>58931106
Because Roy is actually the better trainer than her when the chuuni executive is not sabotaging him to promote his waifu Nemona.
>>
Flop
>>
>>58931373
Just a few episodes ago Roy Teraed his Skeledirge into pure Fire to get rid of the Ghost type's weakness to Dark.
>>
>>58931373
That's the anime in general bro, Leon did the same shit with his Cinderace not using Libero to counter Pikachu.

Focus Punch didn't hit because Pawmot's arms are too short

That was such bullshit, Nemo is presented as way too good a trainer to not take that into account.

Hilariously enough I'm pretty sure like 90% of his fanbase are westerners that only like him because he's brown and thus "representation".
>>
>>58931373
The way I see it, it kind of make sense. I see it as an all-around boost since you are technically getting stronger to use types that doesn't match the original. I also see it as a refinement when it comes to the same type. Fighting types are meant to be skill fighters who uses techniques and martial arts to defeat their foes. Considering that Tera boost a pokemon STAB from 1.5 to 2. Since Pawmot is already a fighting type and this one mainly uses fighting type moves, it does make sense for it to be on a level of a mega since all of it moves are MUCH higher level than before.
>>
>>58931373
In one episode Friede terastalized his Charizard to dark type to counter Ceruledge's psycho cut and shadow claw. That's the only time I remember the gimmick being used strategically.

>anime based on a longstanding series of vidya
>tends to be about 80% accurate to the games, 15% made-up flair just to be cool/funny, and 5% made up bullshit hamfisted garbage (cough Ash-Greninja losing cough)
>the 80% includes things like type matchups, various hold items, that one time the B button was made "canon",

>>58931373
My schizo theory is that Tera shit was deemed "not cool enough" by the writers/players so they had to make up bullshit to make it seem "cool".
I mean, it's a pretty shit mechanic in general, it's a strategic tool with niche use cases in a franchise that's known for being too easy to give a fuck about strategy in, and it visually looks like shit because of that garbage crystalline "overlay" on all the Pokemon, plus the gaudy crown that looks like shit too.
I put it right next to Dynamaxing, which had the same problem of looking like shit with that red fresnel effect while not really doing enough mechanically to change the game much (and only being able to use it in a handful of places didn't help).

I loved Roy character. A cherrful guy who uses music to bond with pokemon and oevercome obstacles.
But since the timeskip he feels bland and boring.
Less chants. Less cheerfulness.
Lucario dont even fit his style. Toxtricity would have been better and could do a really solid personalty clash with Kilowatrell.
>>
>>58930310
If we are being game mechanic accurate, Megas all have a all-around 20% damage boost to all their moves which becomes 30% if the move is supereffective. This is superior to 90% of all abilities and certainly superior than any trainer team abilities because they rarely use Pokémon with the really broken abilities.
