Why did this make people so mad? I liked Alain. And still do.
>>59236704Mad? this was fucking hilarious
>>59236704The whole world started watching this to see Ash finally win a Pokemon League after 20 long years of trying and failing to do so.It was the coolest Ash had ever looked and he was set to face a powerful rival on equal footing, but who surely was no match for a seasoned veteran like XYZ Ash.Then they pulled the rug. 20 years wait for nothing. Never ever. Fire beat Water.If you need any further elaboration you might just be retarded.
>>59236863>Alain>not experiencedNigga made it to the masters 8
Pokefags are entitled manchildren.
>>59236863And then he won in the next season, in a less-serious league where even rookie trainers got in the final tournament bracket and most of the battles were just 1v1s. They missed the mark.
People want payoff for hype and time investment. The consequence of not pulling the trigger is that less people cared when he finally won.
Remember people coping that Paul would beat Alain, and then Paul wasn’t even notable in the world coronation series? That was funny.
Seeing Alain get mogged by a normal Zard while battling with his Mega Zard X was funny.
>>59236704I found it funny, Fuck Grenigga
>>59236890Because they just handed it to him to shut his crybaby self-inserters up. Of course it was never actually going to be satisfying. It never is when you're writing just to placate people instead of writing the story you want to tell.Blame the one retarded exec who refused to let go of Ash for decades when everyone else was begging him to. There was never going to be any elegant way of wrapping up his story that didn't feel forced/unearned after 25 years of slop and jobbing.
>>59236896that and Alola fucking sucksKalos was actually cool
>>59236704>>59236711>Ash hadn't won a single league at that point, to keep him 10 and stagnant forever>"S-surely it will be different this time!"XYfags deluded themselves into seething. They deserved every second of the humiliation.
