Lets talk about leagues long past shall we?
First lets start with the league that started it all, the indigo league (EP075-80). For some reason this league is the most forgotten and I don't really know why, it was pretty hype.
But I'm pretty sure I know why people dislike this league.
>The following conditions cause the Pokémon to lose the battle:
> The Trainer recalls the Pokémon
> The Pokémon is unable to continue battling
> The Pokémon falls asleep
> The Pokémon refuses to battle
It reeks of plot sabotage so Ash's loss doesn't feel legitimate.
>pokemon induces sleep (something that isn't hard to do, you loose.)
This as well as TR fuckery were bigger foes than ritchie ever could've been and is the real reason for Ash's loss. so it had it's major fllaws and handled the "Ash wasen't really ready" thing very sloppily by having literally everything go wrong for Ash. But let's not miss the highlights. It was pretty close to BW in terns of league quality.
It could've been handled better.
