>>44408264>Poipole was part of Ash's team because it formed a bond with his pokémon and the rest of Alola's crew.It had an affinity for Pikachu’s electricity, that’s why it joined Ash’s team. Same for Meltan, it had an affinity for Rowlet, which is why it joined Ash. It didn’t even like Ash in the beginning or listened to him in battle until the League came around. Promotional purpose my ass, give genuine reasons for Ash capturing Pokémon. Meltan and Poipole joining Ash was no different than any of the other Legendary Pokémon that follow Ash around for a little bit, so him capturing them was just as an excuse for him to have strong fully evolved Pokemon at the League.
> Poipole obviously grew outside, not any different from Charizard or Gliscor.Very different you retard. Charizard and Gliscor were left to train, Poipole was left to be with its friends.
> Melmetal lost against SilvallyMelmetal did significant damage to Silvally and everyone acknowledged it. It only lost because it wasn’t trained with its new move, which was anon’s point.
> Ooh it took down a pokémon, so offensiveA Pokémon trained by the current strongest trainer in the region?
> I guess Riolu is also shit because it beat the crap out of a bunch of wild critters just a few minutes after hatching.No you fucking retard, Riolu hatched and immediately got its ass beat by every wild Pokémon it encountered.
> It was already planned ahead of time. That shit's been a thing since the games came out. Not using them would've made no senseWhat does that have to do with it being completely random and having no type of build up or explanation? You didn’t even address the Torracat point
For a guy who acts like a dumbass, turns out you ARE a dumbass
