We can't have any discussion with these cancerous faggots around.

Ash will win Island Challenge Tournament, right? It's not a League, so no reason to lose, right?

Calm down? 20 years! All I even cared about was him winning the league. At least baby steps, hajime no ippo and kuroko no basuke made sense and was worth going back to. This is not one of them. Speed it up already..
>pic extremely related.

Message of this anime - you will NEVER achieve something you want, no matter how hard are you trying, and not giving up.
Not just Ash will suffer. His companions, rivals(Paul, Shota) are bound to never win anything.

When the hell are these league faggots going to leave? All they've been doing is "waaah Ash lost I'm never watching the show again" and "Ash should have won muh nostalgia oh wait GENWUNNERS SUCK"

These cunts aren't mad that Ash lost.

They're being mean FOR THE SAKE OF BEING MEAN. THEY DON'T EVEN CARE THAT ASH LOST.

The real people who care that Ash lost are taking it in stride and watching /vp/ burn to the ground as the Pokemon GO millennials are trashing the board.

Clearly they are

The real people who care about ash aren't bitching like childern and patiently waiting for the next episode.
>>
>>27895794

Except that it's not stergmeister. The creator of Pokemon himself said that Ash is not winning until the series comes to an end. We all knew the series wasn't coming to an end, SO WHY DID FAGGOTS PROMOTE NONSTOP THAT ASH WAS GOING TO WIN?

Because drama.

Because (You)s.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, who said Ash was going to lose was degraded and called a troll.

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW
>>
There is a rumor that ash actually likes the new girl next region going on twitter. If true this would redeem interest.
>>
>>27895839
you sound bitter big fella, what's your frustration?

>>27895839
Winning the League does not make you a Pokemon Master or even a regional Champion. Why is the regular league the roadblock?
>>
>>27895839

>said that Ash is not winning until the series comes to an end

he's dead who cares what he tthinks
>>
If there is anything I feel bad for its Pikachu.

There is no way he could ever have a better performance again. He gave it his EVERYTHING, even beat two fuck Psuedos and kicked Charizard around. He should have recalled it for a rest after weakening Charizard and save it for last. Pikachu will forever be Ash's true ace and if he was smart he would realize this and save it for last. Pikachu is the hardest worker and best fighter. Starters can suck a dick.

Hi, that fagoola again

Just done watching the episode

What the fuck!?

As much as i knew he wasn't gonna win, I'm still salty the way they handled the battle, I would have preferred that Ash would have collapsed during the battle because of Greninjash taking too much damage or something like that
>>
>>27895884

No what's he point ash just lost even though everything was pointing to his win even the episode title was misleading

Leave. You're clearly an unacknowledged newfriend, stop embarassing everybody.
>>
>>27895857
You can watch other anime if you like romance so much. Pokemon ain't the right fit for you.
>>
Post yfw Lysandre poisoned Greninja before the fight so Alain would win.

The only characters allowed to win are the ones that look 15+ years-old
>>
>>27895907
tell us how you really feel
>>
>>27895778
It's "legit", but it's some social media-organized effort to downvote it and I'm fairly sure it's organized by the west and not the nips. There's been several "go here and downvote this" threads on /vp/ today.
>>
Guys, did anyone else notice that the league trophy is literally a Xerneas?
>>
>>27895905
I feel so bad for rattu. He gave it his all and all his kohais had to do was not fuck up
>>
>>27895753
At the very least, if even that, Kalos might call foul and demand a second league free from Flare's bullshit. Probably won't happen.
More plausible would be Ash battling Alan at some point during Flare Arc and it being broadcasted and he wins and gets the title of champion, or Alan being forced to give it up for being related to terrorists.
If anything, he'll probably get crowned as Kalos' Savior and it will be broadcasted all over the region, maybe the world, but it won't matter because he didn't fucking win the league.
>>
>>27895899
Because it will be troubling to explain why one of the strongest Trainer of Kalos jobs to newborn Rowlet.
>>
>>27895907
To be fair. Amourfags have been spamming the board with their nonstop autism for three years. Why not bitch about them too.

>>
>>27895957
He already is one of the strongest trainers in the world though at this point. Winning or losing that match wouldn't change that at all.
>>
>>27895944
Mate, the nip thread reached 10x the size of any other pokemon thread on 2ch I've ever seen. Not to mention the ending was trending on jap twitter with people pissed off.
If you think the japs didn't hate this shit, you're some delusional pedo spic.
>>
>>27895957
Ash using brand new Pokemon can be the excuse.
>>
>>27895923


But it's true.
>>
>>27895839
This is some weird Frankenstein of multiple half-truths. Bizarre.

What "the creator of Pokemon" are you even thinking said this?
>>
>>27895706
It's true for the moment.

I'm pretty confident the OP is made by the same autist 75% of the time

>Alain admitting that his Zard was manipulated or something with the Team Flare leader in spics subs

OH BOI

You retards do realize that Japan doesn't care about a bunch of English neckbeards watching their anime...right?

THE SHOW IS MADE FOR LITTLE KIDS TO ADVERTISE THE GAMES. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT RATINGS.

But it still perpetuates the "Le Ash is a loser, SWITCH PROTAGS NAO" meme. And I hate doing that "something is a meme" thing, but it's super fucking annoying, and it's something that's always going to fucking perpetuate until he wins.
Ash gets no fucking respect, but as we were heading up to this conclusion, it was actually looking like he'd get some recognition. Even if I ignore how mad I am that he lost, there's also the poor condition in how he lost, and how shit like this and shit like DP showcase that there really, truly, is no point in getting hyped up about Leagues, and that they might as well be considered filler, to call to an extreme. I mean, in retrocspect, the fact that they didn't bring up past friends, Ash's mom, or even the professor should've told me that he was going to fucking lose, but still.
Ash lost because he somehow got out underdog'd.

>Ash gets his 8th gym badge and realizes that Alola dosent have a pokemon league
>Ash lost his last chance to ever win a pokemon league to a guy who didnt even care if he won

Why stop with Ash losing his 6th league in a row, just go all the way at this point and cuck him so hard he never comes back to Kalos.

Then we can move on to the next region and hopefully forget that this event ever happened.

But that doesn't invalidate Alan's victory on Ash. Nothing can undo the damage now, if a victory had it happen it's in that stadium not by disqualifying people.

It looks like this is the end of traditional Pokemon leagues, in Alola and onward it might never be the same.

You were an overly dramatic faggot before. Nothing changed.

>>27896170
Alan won fair and square. Ash wosuln't accept the trophy
>>
>>27896148
I wouldn't even say it was the writers, but the execs and suits that don't want him to win, cause any change to the status quo may hurt the 'brand'. You notice how quickly the writers try to overshadow Alan's victory with the Team Flare attack? In any other season, this would've been the second to last episode of the season, but we've still got the Team Flare arc that's been building up for the whole of XY&Z.

>>27896304
As a whole XY was better than BW

But it still hurts even though it properly set up that Alan's Charizard is good enough to win the league if it can put up a fight against the E4, and that the point of the tournament is helping out his redemption

Alan didn't need to win to become less edgy

>>27896308

It is known he will turn his back on them though, so even in the unlikely event he's disqualified for that, Ash will simply refuse the trophy and give it back to Alain
>>
>>27896358
It'll be revealed that Alan's pokemon where doping or Charizard's mega-necklace was filled with performance enhancing tech
Alan is russia
>>
>>27896351
Yes, because Greninja losing to Mega Charizard 3 times in a row, after all that development and perfecting its form, plus Alan destroying everyone else in the league with Charizard, made sense?

The moment we found out Greninja Vs. Charizard was the final battle it seemed likely Ash would win. Having Ash lose THREE times to the same exact pokemon?

Why the hell CAN'T TV Tokyo ignore this? I wouldn't be surprised if every last XY&Z episode has already been fully animated and ready to air. They're not going to redraw episodes because waaah some murrican neckbeards didn't like Ash losing for the 6th time.

>>
>>27896444
In any case it could affect Sun/Moon after the first 20ish episode or so. Whatever the backlash is now could affect the next saga after its opening episodes.

Let's say 20 episodes of Sun/Moon are already scripted, so this current backlash could affect episode 30+ or whatever.

Not even Light Novel cash ins are this stupid, they at least make blank slate protags so they can project for jackasses.

There's no point in presenting Ash as some underdog since AG, it's obvious that only Champ-level trainers are a legit threat, and if he stuck to a team the series would have ended by BW's era.

Everything was built up for it to change, ever since Ash outright beat a Mega Lucario all bets were off.

Nobody expected him to win at the beginning of XY. The show gradually built up to it and deliberately set that expectation.

Greninja was also voted the most popular Pokemon in Japan a few months ago too. That's also why I thought they'd let Ash and Greninja win. Literally makes no sense.
>>
>>27896641
Let's say that happens.
Just like he won't except it, no one else will either. He didn't actually win.
A "win by default" is just going to worsen his reputation, and a "win because the actual winner thinks he deserves it more" isn't acceptable, either.
Winning the league will only count if he actually wins the fucking league, with anything else being a cheap shot.

Most fans already quit the anime halfway into Johto. Those who were still watching didn't care Misty left.

Alan actually fought for something that mattered to him. Ash simply does not have that motivation, and at times it seems like he barely cares about winning as long as he has a good time.

whoever runs TPCi should fucking fire the producer of the show. they lost them billions by killing Ash's momentum. Had Ash won the league, this would've spread like a wildfire that would've made GO users care about the anime again.

Also, league winner is not Champion, Kalos can live without one, so if Alan, by small chance, arrested - trophy will go to the shelf, waiting for new winner next year. Literally no reason to give it to Ash.

They're the ones who told them to do it though. Why are you under the assumption they are seperate entities?
>>
>>27896911
Yeah, fuck people who have their own interests, right?
>>
>>27896807
But the issue is that Alan can be fine with losing since the point of Ash inviting him to the league is to help him not be a full edgelord

Ash winning gives him a shot to battle the Kalos E4+Champion, but there is no given rule that he can't put on the trophy on the shelf and move on to the next one

He came back the first time because he was more popular than Tracey. He lasted in AG because back then the writers probably didn't want to axe both Misty/Brock at the same time because they had no idea if May would be a success or not.

By the time DP started he should have been axed though, no idea why he came back for Sinnoh. Perhaps they couldn't think of a good Gym leader to replace him

>>27896887

Ash is not allowed to win a championship or to have romantic feelings. He's supposed to be proxy for players of the game and the second face of the series, not a character in and of himself.

TPC doesn't actually do a lot to interfere with the anime, but these things, along with Pikachu not being allowed to take an extended leave from Ash's team, are rules set by TPC which have to be followed.

Pikachu, Charizard, Infernape, Snorlax, Sceptile and a tossup between Grenigga and Krook.

Pikachu has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is Ash's strongest pokemon.
Charizard and Snorlax are his strong staple Gen 1 mons. Powerful and durable
Blaze Infernape is literally stronger than Ash Greninja
Sceptile killed a legend, and having Grass moves is a real boon.

Final spot is between the only decent Unovamon that's a strong ground type, or Jobninja

yes, and that challenge is at a higher level than what the league preliminaries are. The only reason why fags shit on it is to maintain the illusion that Ash always lost. when in reality, this was the furthest he's come to winning the league outright.

He did ~2 and a half pokemons worth of damage, compared to Greninja's 3 quarters of a pokemon, Noivern + Goodra's fuck all, Hawlucha's one and a bit, and Talonflame's One For One

Pika did arguably the hardest 2.5
Hawlucha did 1.25

As mad as everyone is about this, is there really an argument for how Ash could have won?

Alan's Mega Zard is quite arguably the strongest non-legendary non-psudeo we've ever seen aside from Pikachu.

And with Ash bringing shit like Noivern and fucking Goodra to the fight, he was already down to only 3-4 useful pokemon, while Alan definitely was going to have 5 great pokemon + Mega Zard.

I just really don't see how Ash could have won regardless. Maybe if he had brought up HIS Zard, instead of using fucking Talonflame or Noivern, but not with the fucking team lineup he used.
>>
>>27897665
Ash never had feelings for Serena. He will leave her in Kalos and never see her again outside of maybe a cameo next Gen.

Literally any guy in Kalos after that has a better chance to win her because we know Ash won't care and always moves forward.

No, not really. There was some discussion on /a/ earlier where people that learned Alan's edgezard had been shitting over Elite Four Pokemon and wondered how the fuck people were so stupidly sure Ash was going to win.

Even fucking Primal Kyogre wasn't doing too good against this fucker.

Alan's been training for a LONG ass time, but more importantly, he doesn't switch out his pokemon every 6 months - Alan's Charizard has been with Alan as long as Ash's Pikachu's been with Ash - but where Ash switches out the rest of his team like a fucking merry go round, Alan has maybe 2 or 3 pokemon in reserve and he uses them all on a regular basis.

If Snorlax can demolish an entire fighting type gym by itself, he can do whatever the fuck he wants and still contribute way more than 4/6's of the pokemon that Ash DID bring to the league battle.

Nah, his fucking Snorlax is actually strong enough that it wouldn't matter - it can steamroll pretty much everything that's not Pika Tier. Fuck, one of the only things that's actually knocked it out was it's own fucking attack at 2x strength.

Grininja got Crit, which is hilarious, but even if he hadn't, Mega Zard's outside of (even boosted) Greninja's level.

Against Alan's BASE Charizard, the only Pokemon Ash has that could have stood a chance are Pikachu, Ash's OWN Charizard, Snorlax, and Blaze Infernape. Boosted Greninja has never done anything to show that it's even as strong as B-Ape, and the other 3 are in a league of their own.

Against MEGA Charizard, only a 100% health Pikachu stands a chance, and possibly Snorlax if he can actually get a hit in (which may not ever happen).

Pikachu IS just as strong.

Did you not watch how it fucking wrecked Tyranitar and Metagross, and then got 2 solid hits on Mega Zard? And how it took Mega Zard 2 solid hits KO the already battle weary Pikachu?

If Pikachu and Mega Zard had fought at full health, there's a very fair argument that either could have won, and whoever won that fight would likely have fainted to the next attack.

Alan just held Charizard back until it could sweep the rest of the team.
>>
>>27898271
I ran the numbers on how powerful Megazard's BB is considering Greninja's durability.

If you assume Shota's Sceptile was an average Mega Sceptile, for BB to have 1shot, Megazard's power had to have been fucking immense.

I was curious as to how immense.

Turns out that to fight something as hardy as AG and win, it has to be roughly 9 times stronger than your average Spec Attack Charizard.

Which means that it is strong enough to OHKO a WATER Arceus.
>>

Isn't it obvious, guys? Alan's Charizard was obviously trained by this one...

Talon jobbed to a fucking Unfezant, which Ash's own Zard would have wrecked.

Hawlucha took out a Pokemon (who was already hit) that he had a fucking 4x advantage against, after getting hit several times.

Then he got wrecked by a Bisharp.

I'd say Hawlucha did the bare minimum, and Talonflame didn't quite pull it's weight.

Still, at least Talonflame did better than "I DO FUCK ALL WHEN IT MATTERS" Goodra and Noivern.

It's the reason the rumours started though, if that weren't the case then the main argument against Serena would be that the status quo dictates that one MC must be a player character.

Are you the guy that just keep spamming "status quo" every time he says something again? Because you didn't read my post at all. I'll explain it one more time, but if you answer with "status quo xDDD" one more time I'll just ignore it.

There is no need to continue the "status quo" that one MC needs to be a playable character in the current games because of how customisable in appearance the new characters are. The character you play as in SM could very well look exactly like Serena, so why bother introducing a new character for that reason?

Note that I do not actually think Serena will stay around for Alola.

Oh they're good characters, but none of those three had ANY place in a fucking Championship Finals match.

Like you said, Goodra is cool but is just out of her league here, and Noivern needed a lot more practice before being thrown into the battle of his life.

Talonflame did ok for who he is, but if Charizard had used Flare Blitz against an Unfeazant's Brave Bird, we can be certain Charizard would still be standing. Likewise with Snorlax using Double Edge against it.

I'm iffy on Snorlax since Ash has a hard on for DEEPS, but I can agree that Ash's 'Zard would contribute more than Noivern.Poor bat should have been a spectator.

I've never felt so much joy for fucking Pokémon before, even as a kid.

Too bad despite how good it's been, XY series will forever be known as "Red herring: the series". Because fucking damn if this series didn't troll us all hardcore until the very last second.

Just make Charizard fall after getting that shuriken to the face, nothing more to fix, the battle was perfect.

Snorlax has NEVER jobbed once.

In all but ONE of his major battles, he's always taken two pokemon out, and gotten a hit on a third.

In the only other battle, when Ash was up against Claire, he kicked Kingdra's shit in, and then only went down because Gyarados paralyzed him afterwards.

He would have done WAY better than everyone except Pikachu.

Its just that restarting with ANOTHER stupid girl is annoying, and praying that she isnt going to be another iris is also fucking annoying.
