>>40969666true, kanto loss was a clear sign of his incompetence (charizard ignoring him, exhausting his pokemon before the fight which it was a deliberate choice by the writers) the later ones able to defeat his rivals was a good progression, kalos should've been the way his journey ended by winning but only losing to the champion (this is a ten year old kid btw) but at least it stays consistent in how he slowly was evolving as a trainer and then moving to alola to show the wonders about participating in a league followed by Pokemon GT
