What the fuck do you expect?
Goodra came back?
Expected.
>half of his team rekt by sneaky thunders
This nigga needs a ground type.
>>27018452
Come to think of it, almost everyone in his team is pretty much countered by Toppu Keku if we're going by typing
>Kalos League, Ash in grand finals
>opponent usesWaldo Boulders
>>27018452
I'd be down with that. Nothing like shilling the next gen right before it releases.
Well, you gotta give him some merit, at least he tried.
Honestly, does anyone even give a shit about what his team is when we all know he's just going to overuse Greninja's gimmick and win a few battles until some asspull happens on the opponents' part and amounts to never winning anything no matter how many regions he goes through and just goes through the whole "winning isn't that important" lesson?

>the three best Flying-types in the dex
ftfy
>>27018412
They take neutral damage from one of flying weakness each
I just want to retire the guy and move on to a new protagonist. Is there anything left to do with his character?
>>27018779
Yeah, they won't stop until he loses ALL of the pokemon leagues
>>27018529

>>27018779
As long as Pikachu is the mascot of Pokemon, him and Ash are staying

He's barely caught any fucking pokemon at all. A real 10 year old would beat him 10 times to Sunday.
>>27018970
>Greninja
>Talonflame
>Hawlucha
He's not wrong, that's half his team.
>>27019080
Being a Pokemon trainer in the anime is a lot more harder and realistic (ironically) than in the games.
>>27019116
Yeah that's why his fellow 10 year old Gary had dozens of varied pokemon at the time he had 6, because it's so hard.
>>27019007
Can't they just give a new protag a Pikachu?
>>27019037
First impressions are all that matters for a character's memorability. See Gary, Tobias, Barry, for similar examples.
>>27018452
That actually wouldn't be a bad way to segway into the next region. Unlike that Darkrai bullshit
>>27019131
I'm sure XY Ash could catch anything he wanted. But he only needs six. I was talking about actually training them.
>>27019131
Catching 200+ shitmons and then doing worse than Ash when it really mattered doesn't make for a good trainer.
>>27019131
Do you realize that's the reason why Gary was shit?
>>27018412
>4 flying types
cant forget when greninja uses aerial ace
>>27019116
Ash is not a bad trainer he just never fucking catchs anything at all.
>>27019244
He caught like 8 Pokemon in Unova and look how that ended up.
QUALITY
>>27019150
explain this darkrai meme to me
how did that guy cheat never watched show
>>27019244
>Catch a bunch of Pokemon and spread yourself too thin to actually give each proper time and focus
>Catch the right amount of Pokemon to give each of them enough proper focus
>>27019007
>New protag happens
>show is pretty much the same with a different coat of paint
>>27019407
Just when Ash finally beat his Darkrai with Sceptile, he sends out a Latios
Pikachu and Latios KO each other, but since Ash has no more Pokemon left and Tobias still has four, he wins
>>27019489
this
Why do people expect something else?
Before anyone starts with muh Origins, it was godawful and worse than the regular anime.
>>27018412
ash looks like hes about to get cucked
>>27019475
Who said catch a bunch of things anon, he need type diversity than this garbage team.
It begging for Ice Beam or Thunderbolt.
enough birds for ya?
>>27018412
2 dragon types
>>27019524
Type match-ups don't matters as much in the anime as they do in the games, because battles in the anime are real-time and not a numbers game
>>27018412
>implying just three
HE MIGHT WIN
>HE MIGHT WIN
HE MIGHT WIN
>HE MIGHT WIN
HE MIGHT WIN
>>27019608
I dont give a shit about balance I want type diversity anon not just a bunch of flying mons.
>>27019524
People talk about diversity but his DP team was a walking ice onahole with Torterra, Staraptor, Gliscor, and Gible.
>three ground types
>two flying types
The XY team at least covers another member's weaknesses.
>>27019622
The fuck is this mary sue bullshit?
![all_generation_6_official_pokemon_art_by_rutger1990-d75l7ro[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/if9y1FP.jpg "all_generation_6_official_pokemon_art_by_rutger1990-d75l7ro[1].png")
>>27019641
That's just it, it's not a matter of type diversity.
It's just the fact that Kalos introduced less new Pokemon than any other region, and it's hard to find Pokemon that suit his fighting style (speedy glass cannons and powerhouses).
>>27019666
Type match ups literally mean jack and shit in the anime unless the plot demands it.
>>27019697
We just don't know how far it can go.
>>27019697
Mary sue? This isn't can fiction nor is it the author projecting himself into the characters, it's greninja doing something dramatic.
I like how only Pikachu helps out the team's glaring weaknesses.
>>27019697
Anon, that's "synchronization".
It's not like you'd ever understand the true bond Ash and Greninja have, unlike any other pokemon Ash previously had.
Not forced in the slightest!
>>27019713
>>27019801
And I thought the anime was bad before.
>>27019622
DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAY
Post yfw Ash wins the league not by memefrog, but because Pikachu gets a lucky Static proc in the last minute
>>27019801
Seems kinda silly though you know? I mean, pikachu has been with him since day one, and still can't synchronize , what does that say about their bond? Does pikachu still think he's too good for ash? Ash has stated that pikachu is his BEST friend, maybe it's one sided.
>>27019857
I haven't watched the animu since Gen III, do they even account for abilities?
>>27019913
Whenever plot demands it, abilities count.
>>27019697

>Water type move doing this much damage oon the grass type
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!
>>27019997
It's using Aerial Ace.
>>27019997
Pretty sure its Aerial Ace
>>27020019
>with water
What the fuck
>>27019997
>Not knowing fucking Tsubame Gaeshi
>>27020021
>Using Ice Shard on a Water Type
Why are the gym leaders so dumb in the anime?
>>27019899
They kind of explained it with Greninja wanting to be the greatest from the time it hatched from the egg and how he didn't have to change personality unlike Pikachu who did.
>>27019997
Greninja was actually doing Aerial Ace.
>>27020047
The attack is done with its appendages (in this case, kicks). The water shroud surrounding Ash Greninja is a natural occurence of its transformation, later on it learned to turn that water into the giant shuriken on its back.
>>27020062
Because the anime plays by completely different rules. In the anime, typing hardly matters, and ice shard is a "fire some homing missles" attack.
>>27020090
That shit can fly with a water type move but this is a flying type move.
NOOO HIS TEAM IS 99% FULLY EVOLVED
>>27019407
>>27019495
Its not that he cheated, its that felt lazy for how Ash lost. Even if you ignore the fact the fucker had a darkrai it then turned out he had a Latios.
If they wanted Ash to lose he could have faced a bunch of roided Ubers. Then Ash just lost to a better trainor, would prove even for all his strength he needed to do more. The legendaries just felt cheap
Or they could have had Darkrai possessing/controlling Tobias. That would have been cool
>>27018452
>Electric handles Hawlucha, Talonflame, and Greninja
>Fairy handles Goodra and Noivern
>Tapu Koko can just outmatch Pikachu's electricity with its own
>>27019751
You should look up the definition of a Mary Sue some time.
>>27019801
Pikachu is a cuck who Ash has always resented deep down. More at 11.
>bring any Pokemon with BoltBeam
I'll, uh, switch into Pikachu?
Don't even get me started on how glaringly weak he is to Mamoswine
>>27020398
>Mamoswine
Hawlucha, Talonflame and Greninja all have super-effective moves against it.
