It's been almost 5 months.
were you dissapointed too, /a/?
>>152195302
I'm still mad.
I will always be mad.
on my deathbed, I will still be mad.
when the seas heat up the world descends into global catastrophe I will still be fucking mad.
In the afterlife, when I get to the gates of Heaven, St. Peter and his angels will ask me "Are you still mad about Ash losing to Alan?" and my answer will be "Yes".
When the race of man is no more and the ruins of Man's cities have crumbled into dust, I will still be mad.
Ancient Alien civilizations will find the smoldering, volcanic corpse of the planet Earth and decode the secrets of our ancient "Internet", and they will find this post and so my eternal anger will be brought forth into the far-flung reaches of space.
When the last tiny flash of heat in the universe dies and all descends into entropy, my hatred will remain.
I'm still so fucking mad I took the time to write this stupid fucking post, and it still doesn't make me even the slightest bit LESS mad.
I fucking hate you TV Tokyo
>>152195302
DELETE THIS
>>152195302
Didn't a producer, or something like that, said the Ash will not win the Pokemon League because if he did the anime will end?
>>152195302
>>152195445
>>152196011
Will never fucking understand you people.
Somebody post the >the city of OP screencap.
>>152195302
I knew he was going to lose so i wasn't dissapointed. I even kind of actually wanted him to lose because the fandom was getting annoying. BEST DAY EVER
>>152196960
It will never no be funny.
>>152195302
Yes. Still haven't watched rest of the xyz episodes because of this.
I actually watched it without watching any of prior Pokémon anime. It was fun to watch with /a/ but I can't believe he still lost.
>>152197763
It's like /sp/ but for pokemon autists
>>152196160
Why would it end if he can still lose to the Elite 4 even if he wins the League?
>>152195302
Yes.
There's a reason everyone was shitting their pants about the possibility of Ash winning the league. People weren't doing it just for fun, there was a real actual possible tangible chance for Ash to win the league. Dozens of flags had been raised. The stars aligned like never before for the Kalos league, it was now or never. If it didn't happen this time of all times then it was never gonna happen because the chances of so many things pointing to league victory again happening are extremely low.
So yes, I'm still mad. I'll never not be mad.
The nips were mads, the spics were mads, murrikans were mad. Everyone was mad.
Even the damn animators were mad. Even the writers were mad. They were complaining on Twitter about the outcome. EVEN FUCKING ASH'S VA WAS MAD.
I hope whichever executive was the one who cockblocked Ash's Kalos League Victory goes the deepest pit of hell and gets tortured in the most painful ways for all eternity.
Why the fuck did the frog lose against a Charizard anyways? I thought types mattered.
>>152198076
Imagine having spent almost 20 years watching it. Thinking that he was finally going to win it at the end of DP, that after he beat Paul he was finally going to achieve his goal. Only to have Tobias show up out of nowhere with his legendaries. And then 3 years of BW. And then 3 years of setting up flags for Ash finally winning in XY. Only to have him lose.
>>152197763
>that one post that says they'll have a rematch
>tfw they never had a rematch
>Alan was actually the one who saved the day by saving Marron
>even saved Ash's Talonflame and Greninja from Mega Gyarados
>Pikachu was the one who finished the fight
>all Grenina did was locate where Marron was using ninja eyesight and throw a little shuriken to mark the spot
>>152198380
Because it didn't have an advantage anyways? Mega Charizard X is not weak to water.
I really don't get how people think Ash would ever win when the Diamond and Pearl anime did the same shit with him actually being competent and looking like a champion then introduced some random guy with a team full of legendaries to beat him.
Do you people have brain problems?
>>152198380
Like a shounen MC, Ash often ignored type match-ups and believed that your love for your pokemon can make you win. Too bad it also applied to his enemy this time because his enemy was also the MC of a mini-series.
Serious answer: the guy's Charizard was overlevelled since the guy spent 24/7 of his life fighting non-stop until he fought Ash. Defeated an elite 4 after fighting 9 other mega pokemon using only 1 potion and 1 berry. Also fought Zygarde which was the feature legendary of XY&Z until it got captured. It was the difference of a no-life grinder who skips all NPC dialogue to level-up and a gamer that reads and explores every area to have fun.
>>152198122
That's what makes it extra funny.
>>152198444
I think he's referring to fire being weak to water. Greninja got hit by 2 dragon claws though so the real answer is, it got 3HKOed. 2 attacks were a powerful neutral move.
>>152198554
Fire attacks being weak against water type*
I actually would've been pretty pissed if he won it all with a special snowflake instead of with a special snowflake he's been travelling with for almost two decades, so not really, no.
>>152198381
DP was alright even he lost.
Ash went through his character arc and successfully finished it by beating Paul. The was a good conclusion to all the build-up during DP's anime run.
Even if he lost to Tobias, he knocked out Darkrai AND also knocked out Latios out of nowhere with just Pikachu.
So, no matter how you splice it, all this made Ash look good and super competent as fuck. He was LITERALLY the only trainer in all of Sinnoh to beat Darkrai, and then beat Latios on top of that.
BW doesn't exist.
XY is like instead of what I just mentioned Ash vs Paul was the finals and then Infernape loses to Electivire and Ash ends up second and Paul the league winner. It completely shits on everything that has been built-up until then. There's no payoff at all for the series.
>>152198467
t. someone who didn't watch XY anime.
>>152198597
>Ash will surely win the league this time!!
>Serena will follow Ash to the next region for sure they've spent too much time on her character to throw her away!!
Like seriously how deluded can you get they aren't going to change an easy formula since after Johto that works
-go to new region
-ditch old pokemon other than pikachu
-catch new pokemon
-meet new pokegirl
-go to poke league
-lose
-ditch pokegirl
-go to new place
>>152198467
The DP anime was all about Ash beating Paul in a climatic battle at the league, when Tobias was revealed it was certain that it was designed solely to kick Ash out of the tournament, and at least they allowed him to defeat two of his legendaries (IIRC, nobody else managed to beat his Darkrai).
XY hinted at a final Ash vs Alan rival battle, with Greninja being a big part of it (besides all that Zygarde stugg), and in the end, Ash never won against the guy, and the frog only did one thing of relevance in the late XY, which was rescuing a Chespin.
At least it gave us the best /vp/ moment in 2016, so that's something?
>>152195302
Who cares, Ash is better as a dumb dumb comedy character than some serious shonen shit. Also the focus relationship with that shoehorned childhood friend was garbage. Also can you fuck off to /vp/?
>>152198691
I wonder why they don't make a more serious pokemon anime that doesn't involve Ash and this old formula. I've seen stuff like Generations on youtube but something longer would be better.
>>152197978
Somehow there are actual humans on this planet that enjoyed everything after his defeat besides the animation.
>>152195302
>Disappointed
lolno I expected it.
I could only laugh at all the dumbfucks who literally though Ash was going to win after 20 fucking years of the contrary being true.
Ash gets to win the filler seasons, he's not ever winning a main league especially when they need to reset his power level for the next one to continue his role as an underdog..
>>152195445
>Ancient Alien civilizations
>misread that as Ancient Alan civilizations
kek
>>152195302
Whoever thought of this idea on a whim must have did it to fuck over the whole pokemon community.
>>152198868

Fuck off
>>152196311
What's there to understand? The writers shat it, end of.
>>152198980
>on a whim
Nigga, that was the norm for 2 decades.
Not the writers fault you were retarded.
>>152198776
>the focus relationship with that shoehorned childhood friend was garbage
Reminder that it was later confirmed as canon.
>>152198269
lel, is there a compilation of the mad?
and how the fuck could the executive overrule literally everyone to cockblock ash?
>>152199344
>lel
Fuck off, reddit.

Now I can laugh, Ashy boy.
>>152195302
The moment I watched the last eps of the Mega Evolution special, I knew this shitbag was broken as fuck.
>>152198269
>Dozens of flags had been raised. The stars aligned like never before for the Kalos league, it was now or never
Pretty much. Everything during the season was hinting Ash winning the league.
What makes this funnier is that Ash was BTFO the same day Ichiruki got BTFO.
>>152198269
Nigga it's just a kid's show
>>152203103
I wonder how many suicided themselves that day. Apparently Konami ruined MGS somehow too that day.
