>>40152656>Not reading the rest as you've once again shown you're approaching from WIN GOOD, LOSS BAD, CONTEXT NOT REAL.I'm sorry you are too pathetic to comprehend Kodomo-level philosophy.
>Ash and Alain's was not.Yes, it fucking as. Ash could have easily resolved Alain's perspective that power was everything by beating him with strategy and skill. Instead of using Ash-Greninja, he could have focused on developing a strategy that would outlast and defeat Alain's Charizard.
But this doesn't matter, because Alain's personal struggles and philosophies were completely unknown to Ash and meant jackshit to him. There's also the part where XY Ash was literally spending the entirety of XY&Z focusing on Greninja's power and even has multiple quotes of referring to increasing strength and power.
>You'd have known this if you actually watched the show.I've been here longer than you, you absolute inferior.
Opinion discarded. Have a picture of Ash and Gladion being pretty based.
