I don't think most people going for compotent story telling with what if scenarios based in Pokemon are limitting themselves to writing from the perspective of the later generations not existing or at least being known of so I see absolutely nothing wrong with, like the leagues or big contests of other regions would likely be televised in a consistent setting. Oh also I am in agreement that non kantonian mons showing up in kanto is more realistic than Kanto just somehow being locked from the outside or something. I do think you may have depended on your wheel or chance a bit too much in this first part, though its still a fun idea. Maybe a better premise would be what if Ash's journey was through some of the more competitive/difficulty based ROM hacks like Radical Red. That one is just Fire Red but its updated with mons up to Hisui, has all the types, physical/special split etc, and each route is stuffed with mons that aren't kanto native. Just a thought, hope you keep it up. Oh and protip, don't try to record your lines in one-take.

I see the "Roll the wheel and catch the pokemon" thing using game mechanics, and I'm forced to point out that the anime has /always/ used legends arceus mechanics. If the pokemon is aware of the ball coming and not interested in being caught, they just smack the ball away without even giving it the chance to catch them. These mechanics of "just slap the ball away" have been consistent all the way up into Journies, it's just taken decades for the games to catch up.

I like to point out how much of a big jerk Misty was to ash. I mean I get that ash used to be an idiot back in the first season but still she goes a bit overboard sometimes

i agree with the notion that ash's knowledge of pokemon was unacceptable. It also made no sense, Ash was a fan of the pokemon league and later material really retcons his interaction with pokemon early on. As a fan of the league alone he should have known how battles and type match ups work. It sucks cause it feels like the writers made him carry the idiot ball around as an easy way to get out exposition to the audience

Really enjoyed this. I would definitely address the whereabouts of important side characters even if it’s just a note. I would also recommend updating the Kanto region just to make it more interesting and develop the Pokémon further. And only thing on a improvement note would just be be a little bit louder as the audio could be hard to hear at times

Update the region and definitely add abilities!! enjoyed this for sure

Very well done, I’m subscribing to see more of this!

So his sandshrew when the training is going on... is basically regigigas with slow start.

nice video bro some tips u could follow : speak a little loud and show ur confidence change the story add some events (based on your own creativity ) for some hype give ash better pokemon as your video is based on ash as a competitive trainer u can increase battle difficulties I don't think many companions will do good because u may miss on many ash stuff if u cover side characters u can include team rocket members like proton ariana petrel its totally up to u to take my comment

If Ash was a Competent Trainer, then he'd be Red, not Ash :D

You are goated i like this more than other what if's

Just gotten randomly and it's pretty good !!!! ❤️🔥🔥🔥 I love this !

Loved it.

Good job man

... *GRUNTY BOII IS A GREAT TRAINER HIS TEAM IS STRONGER THAN GIOVANNI WHEN HE DID THE RAINBOW ROCKET STORY IN USUM.*

Nice video could u say when pt 2 would come out?

This Ash in Journeys:Leon, you have Lost? Because my Pikachu Will use your charizard to sweep the asphalt**

so instead of dice gods in D&D, we gotta rely on the wheel/rhoulette gods fun

Good vid

Abilities should be added yes. An kanto pokemon should be updated.

What is the what if that is being referenced in the vague post?

... dude. My god. Professor oak didn't expect ash to get far with pikachu? THE TIMELINE! Professor oak is a time traveler remember! If he doesn't have pikachu when he meets up with ash as a child, there's suddenly a paradox. Oak should be surprised and ALARMED that pikachu didn't get along with him.

He use thunderchock against a ground type , you can only say that

and a randomizer to ohohoho

Bro speaking Yappanese.

hey can i ask how you made this video??

can you do what if Deadpool was in dragon ball

If your going to use tm rules then I say rock the abilities

Is Pikachu a male or female?

Love this. On my channel I'm doing something similar. You got a sub out of me friend

It'd be cool to mention Abilities. When they're necessary y'know like, if they have Static and get touched in battle, and you just mention how Static just happened. Or Intimidate or whatever. It kinda feels like they don't hardly exist in the show which is sad lol ^^' But might be too late to add them into your story 🤔 idk, whatever's comfortable for ya

have him evolve pikachu i know pikachu didnt like evolving but yeah evolution means the pokemon is able to use its max potnetial pikachu won due to plot due to sticking its tail on the ground lt surge in an honourable man wont cheat ateleast in the anime have him evolve squirtle and bulbasaur

Ah yes, because "Decent, if not really good" is how you describe the 2nd highest ranked trainer in a world wide competition.
