After his loss to Tobias, Is stopped watching. Tobias' existence

Yeah they dont want him to win for a reason, its a lesson to kids that 'Winning isnt everything'.
Notice how he becomes less and less upset when he losses?

>>27874454
Seriously, Tobias was when I realized that he would never win, yet I let myself believe anyway.

>>27874454
Tobias was a bullshit loss, but I think they made Alan an even worse loss. Against Tobias, it made sense that Ash lost, he had no chance from the very start.

Against Alan, they kept us on hold until the very last second, because we knew Greninja could beat Charizard. We knew that Ash could beat Alan. But after all the buildup and hype, and almost practically spelling his victory out, they just decided that no, he was going to lose this time, because after all, Ash is not allowed to ever win a league.

>muh protagonist bias is not strong enough
ye it sure is boring when the protagonist can't just win everything without even trying

Seriously is this something the japs get off to? Like the humiliation porn they have? Do they enjoy this shit?

Yeah, I'm sure every child who was watching the original release of the anime in the 90s also stayed 10 years old throughout the series.

The real reason is for them to rake money.
Why the fuck do you autistic fucks think this is made for an adult audience they don't respect?
It's made to attract kids to a product.

The anime isn't popular in Japan at all.
Cartoon Network is the one demanding more production of the show because it's a huge staple in their line of programming.

>>27874944
A huge staple that no one fucking watches. Seriously, this shit aires at midnight. Ain't no kids watching any of this.

And this is a demographic that can stomach Teen Titans Go.

>>27874944
>>27875020
so you're tellin me no one watches pokemon anywhere?

>>27875020
Midnight for you.
Timezones exist, you quadruple nigger.

>>27874910
Kids like winning
I know japan is more reserved though , so it's more acceptable to them.

Everyone else in the world wants to see a win, god forbid.

>>27874454
>Ash decides to bring in his old champs from previous regions
>The plot punishes him with motherfucking Tobias

No wonder Ash remains regional-only now

>Defending this garbage practice

They could play it just as safe and make just as much money by changing characters every gen. Yu-Gi-Oh!'s done it just fine for years now, and they don't even have any good source material to take characters from.

>>27874944
>huge staple
>literally no reruns

Because of the low dub quality, CN probably only buys pokemon on the cheap out of pity and so they can brag about having premieres

>Defending it
Literally no one here is defending it, you autismal kneejerk reactionary dork. It's an explanation to calm your manchild rage at something easily explainable.

I just hope that the next season will not went back to BW quality. I mean, I just want the next season to have the same animation quality for the gym battle, like Ash VS Clemont, it was fucking cool, but yeah, I guess I'll watch some gym leader battle out of curiosity for the next season but not more, it's pretty much confirmed that Ash will never win shit, even with Plot-armor frog

>>27875599
Shitty way to calm some people. Just because it's explainable doesn't make it okay.

XY is going to go down as the worst cocktease in the history of the franchise. Until a future series does it worse, anyways.

>>27875945
Can't really make it more of a tease than 2nd

>XY is going to go down as the worst cocktease in the history of the franchise
And now Ash leaves Serena

>Gary returns to training in Alola
>Ash and Gary's rivalry rekindled, stronger than ever before
>Spend entire series closely competing with each other in everything, captains, etc.
>Reach the final found of Alola tournament
>Long, drawn out, fierce battle
>Down to their last two Pokemon
>Umbreon vs. Pikachu
>Starter bros go at it in the most spectacular battle ever seen
>Pikachu lands the final hit
>Umbreon appears to be fainted
>Team Skull attacks just before the referee calls it, trashes the entire stadium
>After shit blows over, Ash and friends told they'll have to wait for the stadium to be rebuilt and redo the battle
>Ash blows it off, drops his Alola waifu and pokebros to go fuck off to a new region

>Umbreon vs. Pikachu
>Starter bros
but his starter is Blastoise.

>>27874454
I'd like to think that the other 4 team members were just some Sunkern Tobias picked up on the way there.

>>27875020
It comes on at 7 in the morning you dumbass.

It took Sonic Boom's time slot actually

>>27874454
Having one protagonist for the entire series was a huge mistake, imho. Each region should have focused on someone else.

Wqhere can you watch the episode?

>>27877544
Well it's like 15 years too late for that.

>>27876788
You know it wasn't.. I bet he had on of the trio birds, One of the trio beasts, a dexoys, and heatran

>>27876788
>>27878008
No, he had two Arceuses, a Mega Rayquaza, and Unova's Original Dragon.

That's how hax he is.
