My favorite moment in Black and White was during the Elesa battle. Hear me out! After Snivy was defeated and he was struggling to pick a Pokemon to battle with, Pikachu was in the background and he was absolutely losing his shit! He could clearly tell that Ash was being a total dunderhead. Eventually, Pikachu finally had enough and gave Ash a much needed Thunderbolt. From that moment on, I feel like Ash was starting to get back on track with his battling skills. Aside from the awful loss to Cameron in the Unova League, all his battles were on the same level as some of his battles in the other series'.

I really don't understand why couldn't they have Ash win a League and then lose to the Elite Four? In Diamond and Pearl during the meeting with Lucian they explained that winning a League isn't everything - you then get a chance to battle the Elite Four and if you beat them all you're allowed to challenge the Champion. This opens so many possibilities - Ash can beat the League but immediately lose to the first Elite Four member, next time he can win League but lose against the third member, next time he can beat entire Elite Four but lose against the Champion. It would allow such a natural progression before the Journeys and World Coronation Series. Instead, they have Ash keep losing Leagues and then in Sun and Moon and Journeys he suddenly can battle on the same level with Elite Four members and Champions.

@castform7 10 ай бұрын

That's actually not a bad idea. The way I would handle it is that he loses the first 3 leagues, then he wins the Sinnoh League but loses to Arron. Then in Unova he wins and loses to the third E4 member he faces and then in Kalos he falls short to Diantha. It's a pretty smooth climb all the way to becoming champ in SM and becoming World Champ in JN.

For me at least, the most insulting lose Ash ever had was his battle against Cameron. He somehow lost to a trainer who was dumber than him, and brought 5 Pokemon in a 6v6 fight. And not only that, but Ash had an advantage of three Pokemon over Cameron's last Pokemon, a Riolu, that evolved into a Lucario.

@saitproject 10 ай бұрын

The problem with Ash's mons used in the Cameron match is that most of the members were not fully evolved (Oshawott, Pignite, Boldore and Snivy) and Unfezant was too weak despite being fully evolved and had a type advantage against Riolu, compared to Cameron who used five fully evolved mons (Samurott, Hydreigon, Lucario, Swanna and Ferrothorn).

About Ash versus Tobias: 1) Ash's team selection to face Tobias makes perfect sense; all of the Pokémon he chose had either fought Legendaries before or had moves perfect to counter Darkrai. His only mistake was not calling on Charizard, but that might be excused by the distance between Sinnoh and the Charicific Valley. 2) It's not mentioned in the episode, but it's likely that the reason Ash didn't use Infernape against Tobias (despite it being his Sinnoh powerhouse and having a type advantage against Darkrai) is that Infernape was still too injured from Ash's battle with Paul, similar to what happened wit Harrison's Blaziken back in Johto.

I never liked the battle of Ash vs Cameran. It was probably the worst 6v6 battle Ash ever had. Other than Hydreigon and Lucario the rest of Cameran Pokemon were easy to beat. I agree with you Zac on why give plot armor to Cameron instead of Ash in that battle. Cameron should have never won that battle in the first place. If anything I preferred if Ash lost to Virgil instead of Cameron. Another thing, the writers should have made some of Ash's Pokemon evolve and not stay in their baby forms. He should have at least had a Serperior, Gigalith, Seismitoad, Scrafty, and maybe a Dewott. Ash's Unova team is Johto all over again with less evolution and more baby forms. I know their main Audience is for kids but the Pokemon Franchise TV series is more for all ages at this point.

@saitproject 5 ай бұрын

The writers took the "This Pokemon does not need to fully evolve to get strong" logic into the extreme, put a heavy emphasis on comedy and cuteness as well as having some mons being inferior copies of predecessors when assembling Ash's Unova team. All of which caused Ash to regress from top 4 in Sinnoh to top 8 in Unova! Since Ash is now a World Champion, the writers now have to give Ash's non fully evolved Unova mon reserves full evolution: Samurott, Emboar, Serperior, Scrafty, Gigalith and Seismitoad.

3:57 It also ragdolled the Kalos league champion’s mega evolved ace BEFORE it mastered the bond phenomenon. It’s heavily implied anything Alain’s Charizard could do Ash’s Greninja could do just as well. It really just comes down to the incompetence of the writers being too scared to continue writing Ash as a more grown up and mature character…

@mdrasedulhoque992 10 ай бұрын

Good point. Considering how his character was dragged back to base in Sun and Moon only establishes the theory further. Add to that,the writers weren’t ready to let Ash go yet.

Exactly! Greninja was weaker in their first battle, partially because the form was still new. Second battle, even if Charizard was holding back, Greninja could briefly hold his own. Third battle, Charizard was getting tenderized by Pikachu and clobbered by Ash-Greninja...and still basically two-shot Ash-Greninja before finishing with Blast Burn...and takes NO damage from the Giant Water Shuriken. This ending alone ruined XY for a lot of people...

@saitproject 2 ай бұрын

The other issue with the Kalos League was that the writers recycled story elements from the Hoenn League due to the release of ORAS, which includes Ash overusing his Kalos team and losing (in this case was not enough practice with Ash-Greninja and not having access to Mega Evolution until Journeys, whereas in Hoenn it was not fully evolving Grovyle and Corphish before the League)

@GhostGuy99 10 ай бұрын

I don't blame you. And truthfully, you're not missing much. After Ash, his friends, his rivals, the Gym Leaders, and even Diantha and Steven save Kalos, things kinda go downhill from there because the writers just completely dropped the ball after seemingly having a clear end goal for XY. Clemont rebuilds a fully functional Clembot after they just killed him off, Serena decides to be a coordinator in Hoenn and becomes another carbon copy of May when she finally returns in Journeys, and Greninja gets released to clean up the remaining vines because apparently two Zygarde can't destroy the vines that they themselves created and even destroyed a few episodes prior. Adding to it, Greninja eventually does come back...but is still cleaning up Zygarde's mess and the Ash-Greninja form was completely retconned and replaced with generic Aura. So yeah. XY is a fantastic series, but the ending sucks.

For me, Ash's loss to Bea is bad not because of the loss itself, but because of how depressed he became afterward. It just didn't feel like he was in character. I mean, I know he's gotten into slumps over losses before, but he just met this girl! Also, you took the words out of my mouth when it came to Cameron vs Ash, but I would've put it as number 1. Losing to a Snivy without any proper training was bad, but at least there's an actual story reason for it. Ritchie was bad too, but you can at least blame part of it on Team Rocket, and Ash needed a reality check anyway. But there is no way in the Distortion World that Ash should lose to this punk.

I will say this, Tobias VS Ash was an amazing battle. Sure the writers should have mentioned him much much earlier (at least a mention about a powerful trainer who is anihilating every gym with a Darkrai, SOMETHING) but this battle showed how strong Ash really is, he was the only trainer in the whole series (as much as we know) who didn’t defeated just his Darkrai but also a freakin Latios, and he didn’t even have his strongest team in this battle. I hate that they didn’t bring Tobias back after the Sinnoh series, he should defenetly be in the masters 8 instead of Alain tbh, that would be cool and we could get some new info on him.

Well done as always Zac with the videos. I think we all can see the differences between an acceptable loss and a bad loss. Ash vs Sawyer, Ash vs Paul, and Ash vs Alain in my opinion are acceptable losses. They show that Ash's opponents constantly learn from encounters with Ash and they won't give him an easy time. They know his Pokémon, their moves, and his strategies. I know some people consider Ash vs Alain bad, but when you look at it, Alain was a much more experienced trainer. His Charizard has a lot more battle experience, it has battled several mega-evolved Pokémon , and fought with many legendary Pokémon. Truthfully, I was disappointed that Ash lost to Alain, but it was not the end all, be all. It just shows that Ash has to push himself even harder to become stronger. Ash vs Action Replay Man, Ash vs Cameron, and Ash vs Trip I consider bad losses. Action Replay Man uses legendaries to stop Ash from winning the Sinnoh League, Cameron was an idiot for handicapping himself and yet still won, and Trip... I just don't like him. Given that Trip has some good strategies and I personally like Serperior, making him win against Ash's Pikachu in their first battle was dumb.
