>>44408232>gets a meltan and poipole for no fucking reasonDid you even watch SM at all? Poipole was part of Ash's team because it formed a bond with his pokémon and the rest of Alola's crew. Kill yer brain much to understand that? Meltan existed for promotional purposes, not any different from other pokémon like Rowlet.
>doesn’t train either of themOnly applies to Meltan 'cause Poipole obviously grew outside, not any different from Charizard or Gliscor.
>meltan evolves right before his final battle and manhandles a legendary PokemonEvidence you didn't even bother watching the series. Melmetal lost against Silvally. Really lovely that for a guy who loves to accuse others of being "self-inserters" you wound up being an ignorant dipshit.
>poipole evolves offscreen and takes down kukui’s LucarioOoh it took down a pokémon, so offensive. I guess Riolu is also shit because it beat the crap out of a bunch of wild critters just a few minutes after hatching.
>Rowlet gets a free pass for sleeping mid-battle even though charizard got disqualified for said behaviour Shudo's trash has been out of place compared to the rest of the series for an eternity now. By that fucking logic, most of Ash's pokémon should've been disqualified from Tobias' match because Darkrai put them to sleep.
>torracat absorbs blast burn for unexplained reasons>Ash has a Z Crystal specifically named after himIt was already planned ahead of time. That shit's been a thing since the games came out. Not using them would've made no sense.
For a guy who acts high and mighty by throwing buzzwords at others, you come up being quite the dumbass.
