One of the two scenarios is true:

>OP knows full well that the anime stated that trainers battling gym leaders would use the same amount of pokemon, ex: 2v2

or

>OP hasn't seen the anime is posting out of ignorance

>>133068564
Not fair but allowed. Niggas should stand up for themselves.

Pokemon Origins is more accurate to the games and gym battles work the same as in the games. The challenger is allowed to use his full party while the gym leader uses only 2-4

Except if you fight any gym leader after the E4 their teams are stacked.

He didn't get the National Pokedex yet and managed to mega evolve Charizard.

Gym leaders are suppose to be beaten. How do you suppose a bunch of children are suppose to beat an experienced professional?

>>133070022
ash does it all the time

>>133070047
how many leagues has he won?

>>133068370
It's probably more unfair that the gym leaders are restricted to one or two type themes so that any preschooler who knows how to play rock paper scissors can just whoop their ass in one shot

>>133070079
only 1, and that's another problem
>ash is a great trainer though the entire series but always ends up losing in the league

Just get proper type advantage you can fuck them easy. With proper planning, you can have a three Pokemon team that can handle nearly every situation.

Gym leader sets the rules you play by, if they want to limit themselves then so be it. Besides gym leaders always have unlimited healing and items and generally there monsters are a few levels higher than any on your team.

>>133070080

Not really, their gyms are based off of whatever types there are. All the battles would be the same if they had different types.

In the games:
Gym leaders are there to teach you about types
E4 is there to teach you dual types
Your rival is there to go all out

In the anime:
Gym leaders are there to teach you about types
Tournament is there to go all out

>>133068370
Gym leaders are supposed to test challengers. That's the point of the badges, only those good enough to be deemed worthy by 8 gym leaders get to participate in the league.

Both the games AND the anime had to start mentioning that Gym leaders use different Pokemon depending on how many badges the challenger has because retards would constantly bitch about the scaling difficulty being unrealistic.

You can face him with 6 metapods using harden, or 6 weedles using string shot, or 6 ratatas using leer. All of these are winning strategies.

If the audience get's replaced anyway then why bother have the same character for almost 20 years?

Nobody cares about Ash/Satoshi to be honest. He is as generic as they come and they could have easily replaced him ages ago just like in the games and Special manga. Hell IMO is far more easier to just do that. Yu-Gi-Oh does it, Digimon does it, hell Vanguard even this that recently. The point is that having Satoshi being the MC is not needed at all and seems like some odd artistic choice by the staff.

>>133077732
But the Pikachu plushies

>>133077764
They could just use new MC and give him another Pikachu, no?

>>133077764
Have the trainer own a Pikachu, or try to market a new Pokemon to take the roll of Pikachu. They make Pika clones each gen right? Use that.

It has to be the director of the seires or something. Cause the games change for each gen and those still sell like hot cakes and in fact are the most popular part of the franchise.

Best banned episode

I think you guys have good intentions when giving Ash the boot. I would also like something in the lines of male or female MC leave the town (even both could work) and add the rival, same catching and gym antics, reveal the bad guys earlier in the plot and keep it up for most of the run. Keep the league and add a Elite 4 and champion run for the winner (one of the three retards I mentioned in at the start).

Would be cool if you actually didn't know which one would actually win the league or if they could clear the Elite 4 and even beat the champion in each gen.

But I see why they keep Ash

>keep Pikachu
>keep Team Rocket to follow the formula that's been running since the beginning
>you can bring out the old friends easily and the relationship is more than "yo I'm Dawn and I'm relevant so I'll tag along for some chapters" if we used new protags

Tho they already do that with random people as it is. But I think they just have no need and don't want to change things up.

>>133077825
Are you literally retarded? If a marketer seriously suggested writing Pikachu out of the anime and banking on its replacement becoming just as or more popular in an instant, he'd be fired on the spot. When you have a machine printing money you don't fucking unplug it.

Why do Pokemon threads always attract idiots that don't even follow the anime who make financially braindead suggestions to radically change shit that works fine or write out popular characters that push merchandise?

Not like anything I said isn't true though. The games canon > the animes, it's always been that way and it always will. As for the other thing people haven't wanted Special as an anime for years and years now and nobody has ever liked Ash, which is exactly as I said.

>>133078758
Too bad for your autistic ass the "everyone" that wants that are heavily outnumbered by the actual majority that don't, which is why the anime is one of the most popular cartoons on Japanese TV and a heavy part of the franchise's marketing strategy, while Special is a minor footnote that can mostly do whatever the hell it wants because it tanking and burning isn't really something Gamefreak would care all that much about.

Been watching since the 90s, seen all the new shit. Only time Ash has been good was during his little bout with Paul and was the best time he had to win the League, and they blew it just to keep it running for the same time old schtick that's been going on for 2 decades.

>>133079499
What are the numbers for?

Also does he ever trap again? The only time I can remember offhand as him doing it in the gen 1 anime to get into some flower place.

>>133069468
You're SUPPOSED to win against the Gym Leader in-universe, it's not a championship match between two powerhouses going full out, it's a powerful trainer gimping themselves hard to test the skills of newbies.
There's a reason Brock asks how many badges Red has before choosing his team; if Red had more badges, Brock would have used more pokemon, all of higher level than what he used instead.
In-universe the gyms can be done in any order.

It would be the same shit even if they replaced Ash with some Gary Stu and people who think otherwise are deluded. At least with Ash it'll be iconic and instantly recognizable since he's been on for 20 years.

>>133079536
Wally is what started it

Gen 1 was Gary MOTHERFUCKING[/spoiler Oak. Silver was a douche. Wally was a literal sickly child who just played with you. Barry wanted to suck you off more than fight you. iirc the gen 5 rival was ok, and gen 6 seems actually upset when they lose.

Maybe they're actually improving now.

>>133079590
They even say this in the games with B/W2. One of the gym leaders says they basically get gifted Pokemon by the League to test new challengers or something if I recall.

>>133079639
You're right, I completely forget about Wally because he's terribly uninspired.

Gen 5 rival was alright, but he was still like "Hey lets battle friend, lets see who is better." Gen 6, you might as well have not had a rival, they're all your buttbuddy friends.

You had like three people who wanted to suck your dick, and then the "real" rival was the opposite gender PC. They actually were upset when they lost and couldn't understand why they couldn't beat you through their own training.

Don't really care about some edgy retard that still acts cocky after he gets his ass whooped every time we meet. Barry was a great and funny retard and his team was full of my favorites so he's best rival for me.

Yes, Blue was always one step ahead of you. You may beat him in the game, which is required, but he was always still a step ahead of you. Even then he has a very well and balanced team and is one of the better Champions in the entire series.

Besides saying Blue is a pushover is silly, since Barry was also an extreme pushover, as is Red, and everybody else barring Cynthia.

>>133070675
so much concrete for a town with 4 buildings...

>>133079950

One step ahead of where you are going and what people you are going to face. He beats everybody before you do but you beat him every encounter.

>>133079974
I think with Cheren is about as clear as it gets.

His end game team was bonkers in BW but had to stick with low level normal trash in BW2.

>>133079701
Anime episodes, though it's a running count that doesn't reset with new series, so good luck finding a place that lists the episodes by that number.

>>133080078
Gen 2 is pretty clear as well. What with Kanto's Gym Leaders having high level and more pokemon since you already beat Johto's leaders and the league.

Then you get rematches with people in games with their pokemon clearly being stronger and them having more.

Is not required. You can let him beat your ass to not break immersion if you want.

What I think is that "rivals" are meanigless when the game overall barely makes them worth being called that. So Blue and Silver are about as good as "rivals" as the retards that followed them.

When I played in gen 1 and 2 I realized they liked to appear at random surprising you with your pants down. They tonned it down in Gen 4 and I think they even heal you nowadays. Or maybe they did that in gen 4 too I don't remember.

Yeah, but they're part of the anime continuity just watch them as part of that

>And what is Origins everyone above was talking about?
2 hour TV special (split into 4 shorter episodes) made to advertise X/Y. It's essentially an adaptation of gen 1, though it incorporates some new XY elements as well. Its main purpose was to catch the attention of adults who had lost interest in the franchise long ago with an adaptation of a game they remembered, then show off some new cool shit to make them interested in picking up the new gen 6 games.

It's its own continuity and has nothing to do with the regular anime.
It's also pretty shitty

Who else is just waiting for the league to roll around to start watching from there?

>>133081425
You won't exactly be confused, but the movies aren't intended as standalone works, so they do have a tendency to have main characters and Pokemon that spend the entire movie standing around in the background not doing shit because the movies obviously have to use the current group from the TV show.

Xerneas and Yveltal's exclusive signature moves are fun as fuck and extremely powerful.

Xerneas has Geomancy, which boosts Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by two stages each after charging for a turn (can and should be negated with Power Herb).
Yveltal has Oblivion Wing, an 80 power Flying move (Yveltal is half flying, so it gets STAB) that heals the user by 75% of inflicted damage..

Pokemon trainers are a bunch of fucking pussies anyway, standing by the sidelines, shouting at their Pokemons like some possessed freak while their beloved pets fight themselves to death.

That's why I've been playing each new generation usding only difficulty rebalance ROMhacks that, among other things, give all leaders 6 pokemon.


I remember in Blaze Black around the begginging I found a the typical enemy trainer with only an overhyped Ratata I thought I was gonna curbstomp. Next thing I know, the little IV-perfect fucker has KOed three of my pokemon witth Flame Wheel.
