21,000 Dislikes from TV Tokyo

We've waited 20 years to see Ash get to a Pokemon League Final!? Then the writers screwed us over again with their BS. Now TV Tokyo has been bashed all over social media by nearly the entire Pokemon community. I encourage everyone, if you have, to dislike TV Tokyo videos to show your frustration.

Eh, I'm not autistic enough to care about whether Ash wins or loses some shitty ass league.

This wasn't even a appropriate league, it felt more like a tournament. A league is what I'd call to something like the Elite Four or whatever the heck, to make someone go through a trial. You know, just like in the games.

Plus, all the Japanese woomies are already doing all the work. Wew, I guess that's what happens when you make misleading previews and titles, people actually thought for a second Ash was going to win. Not like I didn't see this coming miles away, the series needs to have a never aging protagonist, apparently.

sasuga whoever is in charge of all this, nothing against ya, but the entire episode felt really rushed despite the outcome. Felt underwhelming compared to previous ones.

You're underestimating the angry Jap. They can be far more hostile than the Western fandom. I wanted to use the more recent example of the Bleach fans who destroyed their merchandise, but I don't have that image on me. Have this instead.

It imploded when he lost. Things are still bad right now, hours later. Right after it happened it was pretty crazy. I'm sure some people took screencaps of the catalog.

It's too late now, the damage is done. This was Ash's best possible chance of winning the League, the first time he had even managed to make it to the finals. Even in DP Tobias knocked him out in the semis. The show built up everything to signify a victory for Ash, then took it all away.

I imagine a lot of longtime fans will drop the anime after this episode or at least stick around for the rest of XYZ, but they won't care if Ash does somehow win Alola's equivalent to a League.
>>
Ash deserved to lose. He's an edgy cocky faggot who just wanted to win.

Alain was a much better character, who actually had developmeng. He was fighting for Mairin and he showed good sport. He should have been the MC.

Many of those nips probably don't even know how to make a decent episode so why would TV Tokyo even care about those fags? Ash deserve to lose because he's a mediocre trainer. Ash greninja was just a lot of bullshit to get the anime to seem cooler

At least the dislikes mean they know its bad and that Ash better win next time.

>it eventually has to change

No it doesn't. Charlie Brown didn't ever get to kick the football (in the original comic I mean, I think there was a cartoon episode where he managed it), never got together with the redhead girl, never won a baseball game, and that ran for about fifty years. Status quo is status quo, if the writers don't want to change it, thing will stay the same forever.

>>27896736
There is no next time, not at least for 6 years.

>>27896909
The difference is that we have internet now and the audience gets mad, nobody could complain at the time of that, but now it's different, the writers need to realize the audience don't have the patience to wait other 3 years. I don't understand why they couldn't predict this backslash, it's obvious it would happen if he lose.

The Simpsons is a never-ending show. It's perfectly fine if they keep their characters the same age, etc.

But Ash has said since the 90s he wants to be a Pokemon Master but we've watched for 20 YEARS of failure, after failure, after failure. We're sick of the writers milking this series.

First, please don't use a name while posting.

To answer your question, the League didn't get cancelled, Ash v. Alain finished their battle completely, Goodra and Greninja fucking jobbed hard so Alain could win. Greninja got KO'd by Blast Burn, a Fire-type attack, while Charizard shrugged off his special snowflake orange Water Shuriken. People are pissed, even if I saw it coming.
>>
>>27897122
He doesn't have a point, though. His "point" doesn't exist because Pokemon doesn't have an actual plot. So what if people will complain about it? They are only showing they are retards. He says people are complaining, but the only people complaining are the idiots who think Pokemon isn't a pseudoplot and actually expecting Ash to win a league. The anime is literally bait for newer generations, they are literally experiencing Season 1 over and over again in a simulation of Season 1 meant to replicate the same feelings we had when we watched it.
This is like playing MGS2 and complaining about something that you already complained about in MGS1, without realizing that's the entire point of the game.
Anyone who foolishly thinks or hopes the "plot" will move forward , who keeps watching Pokemon not expecting equivalent results from a past season and then complaining about it when it happens again is a babbling fool.

>>27897317
Hahahahahahaha. What do you think the anime is for other than milking it? Its as much an endless show as the simpsons or south park or detective conan

In this case, yes. Any adult worth their salt has stopped watching the show years ago. Video games are one thing, I suppose, as they are semi-social. I really don't understand the appeal of Pokemon to people in their early 20s (my age group), but I feel like playing the games is a little more acceptable and believable than them watching the cartoon. I only watched it as a kid because I fucking loved the games and wanted more of anything Pokemon related. Now, I just pick one up when I'm bored on the way home from work after it's been out for a bit and just get through the single player stuff.

Being a pokemon master is Ash's goal.

Yes, this is cliche as fuck, but the most important thing is the journey, not the destination

It's still just a franchise that at its core is just a comercial to sell model kits to children.

So using the "It's just a comercial for kids in show form" isn't a reason that people can't enjoy it or "take it seriously".

Individual Gundam shows have conclusions. It's not like you've had nothing but an ongoing Gundam 0079 where time never progresses and the war is at a perpetual standstill. I mean there's always a war in Gundam but even when you have UC continuations there are time lapses and changes in power.

Keep in mind I've only seen like five Gundam things and they were all UC, I'm sure the AU series like G Gundam and Gundam Wing are even more different.

It's soured the whole series for me, honestly. Now we know Serena is going to go back to that Contest milf and be gone forever and Ash will get yet another reset only to lose again and Jessie will likely also ditch the Gourgeist whom she has an amazing bond with because nothing in this show will ever change besides the ever increasing level of Charizard worship.

I feel so foolish for having hope in the anime and this loss is likely going to keep me from ever getting remotely invested in any future non-spinoff Pokemon anime. Feels really really bad, man.

I don't follow the show too closely, but I just don't understand why they're so adamant about preventing him from winning. There's no reason Ash can't win a league and also continue on with his adventures. He won the Orange Islands League and that didn't disrupt the flow of the show at all. It's such an insane contrivance with almost no benefit to the overall story or plot.

This is why he beat Viola in one try, or told Greninja to dodge Charizard signature move, right? I could make a list of times where Ash lost because he couldn't figure out why he was being bitch slapped, or the times he had to rematch because he couldn't come up with anything at the moment.

He was getting used to the new region for the first one, and you and me know the writers are at fault for the later. Specially when you saw him block the blast burn with a normal shuriken few minutes before.

Not outright stating it would be like this, but:

>Ash beats them all, using strategies that would actually be viable to use in the game with some of the viewers' translation of the Anime's real time combat into the game's turn based combat.

If anything I think the writers just wanted to pull an "all or nothing" he launched the ultimate shuriken in exchange to don't defend at all, even if the smart thing to do would have been blocking the blast burn again and then launching the shuriken, they thought it looked cooler if there was a big impact of the 2 ultimate attacks.

Because he is retarded. If he was smart, he wouldn't be the protagonist.

An anime of a guy who takes their time to look up how good a pokemon actually is in battle, and doesn't care about capturing new pokemons just because they are new wouldn't sell, they need a retarded protagonist who would make dumb choices, so they made ash.

Nintendo made Paper Mario on the 64 and it was great.

Then they made TTYD on the Gamecube and it was also great, arguably better than the original (though some disagree).

Then they made Super Paper Mario, which was really different (it was a platformer) and it was controversial, but still not a bad game on its own.


Nintendo killed the series with Sticker Star though, which was a dumbed down RPG compared to the first two, with no new characters (the characters that aren't generic toads can be counted with one hand), Bowser being almost nonexistant personality-wise, and pointless gameplay. You attack with cards that go away after a use, but they removed the experience system entirely, so the only benefit you get from fighting enemies is getting coins that you can only spend on cards after already using up cards to defeat them in the first place, so it's quicker and more efficient to run away from all non-boss encounters since you get nothing from fighting. It was bad.


Now Nintendo is making Paper Mario:Color Splash, which is exactly the same as Sticker Star with all the same problems. Nintendo completely ignored all the criticism given by their fans and are creating a game nobody will buy, because it's exactly like the last game and nobody liked the last game.

Managing to beat half of the Alain pokemons doesn't mean that a person isn't retarded. Also, Alain has a team of pokemons for the sake of it, since he mostly only shows using his charizard.

It's like ant man beating up falcon and saying that he was doing extremely well against the avengers, and if he ever lost to Hulk is because of bad writing.

Don't bother, you'll just get a lot of vitriol.
The only people who are upset are eternal manchildren aged 25+ who just refuse to let go of their childhood and still cling and self insert into Ash.

They're a truly pathetic lot who try to turn this anime into something it isn't. It's nothing more than a tie-in to sell games and merch. There's a new target audience of 10-12 year olds every few years who are meant to watch this and learn a lesson about accepting defeat and moving on.

But no, we have all these pimple faced burrito tanks on /vp/ and the internet in general who go apeshit over this. As if this show ever had well written characters or a good story to begin with.

He's had an anniversary with Pikachu.

From Pallet town to the start of the Silver League, AT LEAST one year had passed.

He loses the League, stays single, never boxes Pikachu and never has his 11th birthday. These things are all baked into the premise at this point.

He's had his 1 year anniversary with Pikachu, he's DEFINITELY had his 11th birthday back in Johto or earlier. So Ash is perpetually 11.
>>
>>27900464
But why make him get to the finals if he's gonna lose? Why give him synchrofrog? Why make him lose against the same person 3 times? It doesn't make sense.

>But why make him get to the finals if he's gonna lose?

Why not? Are you dumb?
>>
>>27900493

That's a fair assessment. It took fucking 4 of Ash's Pokemon to beat 3 of Alain's pokemon that any of Ash's other major powerhouses would have 3-0'd.
>>
>>27900402
even if ash still brought his power houses the writers would still make them lose somehow
>>
>>27900536
Why does he ever compete at all if he's going to lose? To show that he has a goal and to prove that winning isn't everything.

Why give him synchro frog? Yeah, got me there. That was a mistake.

Why make him lose against the same person three times in a row? To show how much further he has to go and, again, to show that winning isn't everything.
>>
>>27900564
All the other times nobody expected him to win, why give the audience the hope? Only to make it worse when he loses and create this backslash that doesn't benefit anyone.

As for legit reason, I guess that's the writing team's way of giving him an excuse to go to a ne region. He'll keep trying his luck somewhere new.

I'm not saying it's great writing. I'm saying that it's part of the formula at this point. Ash doesn't win Pokemon League tournaments. If he ever does, it's the final season.

Pikachu is on Mega Charizard X's level, while Charizard and Snorlax are just barely short of it.

Ash has several other pokemon that would have contributed far more to the fight than his 3 deadweights.

How about because Zard X is easily the strongest normal pokemon we've seen, Alain's been training with him forever, and Ash decided to bring in a fucking Noivern and Goodra?

My biggest issue with Ash losing to Alain is not so much that Ash lost the League championship, but that he loses to Alain over and over and over again every time they battle. TV Tokyo makes such a huge fucking deal over hyping up all these Ash vs. Alain episodes but really what's the point if they all follow the exact same predictable pattern with the exact same outcome?

If you're gonna have a guy losing to his rival that many times, there has to be some fucking pay-off like there was with Paul and Trip.
>>
>>27900935
The payoff is them teaming up to take on Lysandre

It teaches kids (the target audience) a good lesson, too: Even if you lose, it doesn't mean you have to hate the other guy or give up

I'm so disgusted right now. To me I'm not furious because Ash lost, (which I still am by the way) it's the fact he lost to a freaking Charizard. TPCI is always freaking pandering to this Charizard worship thing they have here. They keep shoving that damn pokemon freaking everywhere. Genwunners won't shut up about it since they always say it's the strongest pokemon ever, ugggh. -.- It gets TWO MEGAS, and its most likely that Charizard will be the only pokemon we can fly with in Sun/Moon with that new feature. "Ride your favorite Pokemon" my ass. Can we stop this pandering and put focus on other pokemon equally goddammit?! I'm done. There's no hope here.

Everyone, even Japan is freaking furious at this asspull. I''m seriously done. I'm don't care about the Sun/Moon anime cause I'm not gonna watch it. Serena's gonna get her ass dumped at Kalos so Amourshipping isn't gonna happen or really mattered at all and they're going to keep repeating the same damn cliches in this anime with no actual change.
>>
>>27900929

Had the writers made Ash lose while having all his major fighters, then we'd have a legit complaint.

They didn't.

Ash brought in 2 inexperienced pokemon, one who was completely out of his league, a fire bird who pales in comparison to his fire dragon, jobberfrog, and Pikagod. Ash is just an idiot, and Pikagod can only do so much when the rest of his team shits the bed.
>>
>>27900990
He needs to beat the Elite 4 and champion first, he can beat a league without beating those.
>>
>>27900935
He'll probably square off with Alan at the end of the Flare arc and beat him there.
>>
>>27900877
Whether or not its filler is pretty irrelevant. Ash managed to win a league, and the story proceeded as normal.
>>
>>27900908

Why does everyone think Charizard X can't tank Water Shuriken? He's not weak to it, and the Shuriken sure isn't stronger than MEGA BLASTOISE'S FUCKING HYDRO CANNON.

Seriously, have you never seen Alain outside of this episode? Charizard X is a fucking BEAST, and the only hope Ash had of beating him was Pikachu, who he used up against the other two psudos.
>>
>>27900908
He defeated a bunch of Mega pokemons AND an elite 4 fire-type pokemon with his Charizard. And Malva's Houndoom was even powered up by charizard fire attack, and I don't know if you remember, but fire resists fire as much as water.
>>
>>27900999
Jesus Christ. Ash is 10. Way too young to be hooking up with anyone.

So of course he'll send her off while he goes to Alola and finds some new traveling partners. This is the Pokemon formula. Are you new to it?

Alain's Zard has solo'd literal teams of Megas, and taken direct hits from Primal Groudon.

There's NOTHING Greninja could have done to him.
>>
>>27901134
You can only have one Mega per team, and resisting an attack doesn't mean his power is close to a legendary.
>>
>>27901131
Tell me exactly where was stated that greninja 200% is stronger than Alain Charizard 100%
>>
>>27901131

>Did you see the size of that shuriken? It wasn't a normal shuriken, it was all his power put into it.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDaXh7Dd3gY

Mega Zard can fucking TANK AND FLY THROUGH a Mega Blastoise's Hydro Pump. He sure as fuck can take on Frog's shuriken.
>>
>>27901170
So you are saying that Greninja attacks are even stronger than Primal Groudon? fucking please.
>>
>>27901131
>It wasn't a normal shuriken, it was all his power put into it.

It's fucking garbage that shouldn't exist, just like ashgreninja itself

This is pokemon. Pokemon doesn't have "put all your power into it and suddenly you do a super special version of your normal attack"

No, that's not how it works. Stick to what the game has you fucking fags
>>
>>27901170
Primal Groudon's Precipice Blades would normally KILL a regular Pokemon.

Mega Zard fucking Tanked it even though he was type weak to it.
>>
>>27901195
A Mega is not a synchro.

>>27901224
Not any attack, that specific ultimate Shuriken.
>>
>>27901254
I don't care, if they hyped that shuriken for months since the trailer came out, don't make it job.

>>27901260

they need to go
>>
>>27901260
lmao he didn't tank shit, he got fucking owned by that attack.
>>
>>27901265
You are not really understanding the difference in strenght between a measle synchro greninja and fucking primal groudon.

One of them is akin to a god, and can burn the world by merely existing, and the other can't fucking win a league.
>>
>>27901308
They're rarer and unique. Sycamore said it rarely happens and only counted trainers accomplished it.
>>
>>27901292
>i don't care, it should have worked because i say so!
>>
>>27901362
You don't get that Charizard didn't really do anything to groudon either way, so tanking attacks from him don't prove the frog is weaker.
>>
>>27901372
shinies are rarer and more unique as well but aren't any stronger than standard mons
>>
>>27900634
That is from a movie.
Isn't it stated back before Indigo league that had been one year since Ash left as well? I recall people saying that but I never went back to check.

They never mention birthday or his age, just that an amount of time has passed.
>>
Ash shouldn't win until he realizes how typings work, when to use what move and to bring actually strong pokemon, not some garbage
>>
>>27901372

So are shinies, and that means jack shit.

Show me where it says that Synchro Greninja is stronger than Mega Blastoise (who's trained by the Champion of the Elite 4).
>>
>>27901404
By your logic, Charizard should not tank greninja shuriken even though it withstood primal groudon attack.

It's like saying that he should be knocked out by a bitch slap when he survived a plane crash.
>>
>>27901470
Charizard didn't beat that one, and he lost against a dragon pulse of that.
>>
>>27901527
Fainting and dying are 2 different things. He should have fainted from the frog attack, surviving groudon doesn't mean anything.
>>
>>27901450
>Isn't it stated back before Indigo league that had been one year since Ash left as well? I recall people saying that but I never went back to check.
Dub line with no Japanese equivalent. Late Kanto was pretty heavily rewritten in the dub
>>
>>27901527
He didn't withstand the attack at all, he got his ass beat fucking hard. Nigga almost died.
>>
>>27901528

Did you not watch the fucking video?

Charizard fucking took a Hydro Pump full on and flew through it with no issue.

The only reason he lost was because Dragon Pulse is both: A. Super Effective against Charizard X and B. Powered up by Mega Blastoise's ability.

You're seriously trying to say that Charizard shouldn't be able to tank Special Water Shuriken when he literally brushed off Hydro Pump from a much stronger pokemon?
>>
>>27901550
>>27901607
did it faint from groudon's attack?
>>
>>27898453
Are you me?
>>
>>27900990
Dianta is the champ.
>>
>>27901650
Hydro pump is neutral and it wasn't with all the inside power of blastoise like the shuriken was.
>>
>>27901681
>>27901607
>>27901550

It got seriously injured from a super effective base 120 power attack running off a 180 base attack stat.

He didn't actually faint.

Either way, nothing Mega Greninja did is stronger than Mega Blastoise's HP, which Charizard DID tank.
>>
>>27900935
Wouldn't it be more predictable if Ash won his final battle against Alain like any shonen protagonist would do? Having him lose when tropes would suggest otherwise is more innovative when you think about it. :^)
>>
>>27901738
The HP wasn't that strong.
>>
>>27901714
Water Shuriken is neutral.

And you seriously just tried to say that Hydro Pump from a Mega Blastoise is weaker than Greninja's Water Shuriken.

Let's see literally ANY proof.
>>
>>27901765
It was a shuriken with all the inside power greninja had.
>>
>>27901763
120 BP off a 135 Sp. Atk stat.

Pretty fucking strong.

The fuck is a water shuriken?

A 15 BP running off a 95 base attack stat. Even if you power up greninja, it doesn't even come fucking close.
>>
>>27901805
>all the inside power greninja had

No it wasn't - otherwise he'd have fainted just by performing the move, which he didn't.

And how does that make it any stronger?
>>
>>27901681
It got beat to within an inch of its life. Its tail flame was even fading and shit. It pretty obviously did not have the capacity to continue fighting.
>>
>>27901814
Game logic don't apply to synchros, much less anime.
>>
>>27901550
>>27901607
I don't think you guys understand how much of a feat is to not die or faint against an attack from primal groudon. If you guys watched the battle, those attacks could literally remove countries from the planet.
>>
>>27901861
Getting your shit fucked up is not an impressive feat when almost 0% of fights in the show result in deaths of any kind.

I realize now this loss has more consequences that it outwardly seems.

In every season there was hope that he might actually win. Every season had something that sparked a glimmer of hope, that this time would be different.

>"Second times the charm"
>"Misty is gone, the show has changed"
etc

It is apparently obvious now that he WILL NEVER WIN. There is no longer any room for hope. If he didn't win after all that happened in Kalos, he simply won't win. It's over. Even if you guessed correctly he would lose, you never knew for sure. With Kalos the writers have finally shown their nature fully. No matter how they change things up, no matter what the animation quality or the story is, we now know 100%. They will never do it without a massive ratings drop or some such.
>>
>>27901957
Being able to tank a country busting attack is an impressive feat, regardless of how ever many other charaters get put into a situation like that.

The fuck does Greninja have for feats?
>>
>>27901971

>Even if you guessed correctly he would lose, you never knew for sure.

I knew for sure the second Ash's roster got leaked and I saw that Ash wasn't bringing in Charizard for the fight, or any of his older Pokemon.

3/6's of his team just aren't ready for any real battle.
>>
>>27901957
Nigger, he didn't even faint, which is the anime equivalent of death. And don't even try to compare primal groudon/kyogre's attacks to greninja. Even if you turned all shurikens greninja has ever thrown in a single shuriken, it wouldn't be half of what the primals were doing.
>>
>>27901982
>ground spike followed by a smallish city block-sized explosion
>country busting

Don't think so pham.
>>
>>27901957

He didn't faint or get KO'd.

The ONLY time Zard X has been KO'd was against Mega Blastoise's Dragon Pulse.

Unless someone's seriously trying to say that Synchro Greninja's Water Shuriken is stronger than Primal Groudon's Precipice Blades, Zard X had this in the bag from the moment Ash decided not to save Pikachu for him.
>>
>>27902079
Did you even watch the fight? Those attacks made nuclear bombs looks like fireworks.
>>
>>27901838
but it didn't faint.

if megazard would sooner die than faint then greninja had no chance from the beginning
>>
>>27902079

Anon, go watch the episode before you try and talk shit.
>>
>>27902171
After reading all the shit in this thread, I am surprised to see how people didn't see the immense power gap that there is between Charizard and ash's entire team.
>>
>>27902264
>>27902244
I just did, the attack he got hit by would be hard-pressed to destroy a city, much less an entire country.
>>
>>27902285

There are a few, but too many people are getting caught up in "MUH FORESHADOWING".

Ash's current team isn't meant for the big leagues, it's just meant to show off the new pokemon. None of the Ash's newer pokemon have any serious battle experience.

Zard X is fucking head and shoulders (and tails) above every one of Ash's Pokemon except Pikachu, Charizard, and Snorlax - and Ash probably would have needed at least two of them, if not all three, to take Zard X out.
>>
Anyone have the Frog vs Mega Gardevoire battle webms?
>>
>>27902393
You know that not all countries are the size of USA, right?
>>
>>27902473
I'm well aware of that. I'm saying that attack didn't have anywhere near the power to destroy even a small country. Maybe Groudon's capable of an attack that can do that, but he sure as hell didn't whip it out on Charizard.
>>
>>27902548
Groudon earthquake can easily erase a country. Precipice blades are even stronger than that. Groudon had no reason to go easy on charizard.
>>
>>27902285
Alain is the worst Gary Stu I've ever seen. He wins literally everything and Charizard is nigh invincible "just because."

Is it any wonder people were rooting for Alain to lose? You don't make a character who beats everyone, who's more powerful than everyone, who defies all logic and laws of the world they live in with NO ONE able to approach them UNLESS they are literally God. It's a huge turn-off to people. It's like something a small child would write.

The show isn't about Alain. The show did not need an unkillable Charizard god opponent to bash Ash's brains in. There are BETTER ways for Ash to lose, even, that aren't so rage-inducing to the average person.
>>
>>27902671
Precipice Blades IS groudon strongest attack. So if he has any intention of OHKO'ing something, he would use precipice blades, which he used on charizard.
>>
>>27902671
Sure he does. Charizard X isn't anywhere near Groudon's level, at least in the anime. Why waste all that effort on a peon?

It's kind of like saying that because Piccolo blew up the moon at one point in DBZ, that means every punch or ki attack he ever used from that point on was powerful enough to destroy the moon.
>>
>>27902704
>with NO ONE able to approach them UNLESS they are literally God
I know you like Siebold, but this is too much. Blastoise didn't even break a sweat beating charizard.
>>
>>27902757
It's not like Groudon was lazing around and flicked at charizard. He was trying to get complete godmode and charizard was trying to stop him. If it was Groudon first attack at charizard, I could give you that point, but considering how much charizard was proving to be hard to get, I don't think he would hold back.
>>
>>27902844
>considering how much charizard was proving to be hard to get, I don't think he would hold back.

Why? That just means he needed to aim better, not hit harder. When he actually managed to hit him he fucked Charizard up.
>>
>>27902935
And what IF it didn't knock it out? Do you really think Groudon would risk losing godhood because it didn't hit charizard with enough force? It's not like he is going to go with all it had in that one attack, but he isn't in the mood to joke around.
>>
>>27902704

>He wins literally everything
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDaXh7Dd3gY

Come on now anon, at least try.
>>
>>27902757
NO ONE is saying that Charizard X is near Groudon's level.

We're saying that Groudon's Precipice Blade is stronger than Greninja's Shuriken, and Charizard didn't faint to the blade, so why the fuck would it faint to a shuriken?
>>
>>27900974
I don't think anyone cares anymore since alot of people will jump the ship from the anime.

I mean why bother getting invested when nothing comes out of it.

Its like paying an Asian hooker 100 bucks for the best ever only to have her not finish you off and walk off with the 100 bucks.

They also hyped the shit out of this conflict and it was worse then the semi-finals battle.
>>
>>27903142
Because it also ate several cuts, an aerial ace, a Quick Attack, and a Tbolt that has literally slain gods
>>
>>27903263
QA and TBolt happened Pre-Mega evolution, and for some reason Mega Evolving rejuvenates Pokemon in the anime.

Cut and Aerial Ace are fucking fodder moves.
>>
>>27895891
(You)
>>
>>27903142
People were claiming the attack was capable of destroying a country, and the evidence just does not support that.

>>27903094
You're just speculating at this point. There's a variety of reasons Groudon might not have gone all out. Maybe he was saving his strength for Kyogre. Maybe he knew Charizard wasn't powerful enough to withstand it.
