>>43073828>Nope, there was no real reason to release Goodra. In fact there was no point of giving Ash a Goodra if he was suppose to release it after five episode.Already said the reason. You ignored it however. Pathetic.
>"Hey guy, let screw Ash's chance of mega evolved pokemon to shove a pokemon with anime exclusive ability that nobody asked for that would lose to a Mega Charizard X that Ash should have gotten and then release it because Alain messed up"
>If the story's intention was to provoke the entire fandom for no reason and make them furious, then yes XY succeed It was like XY&Z wanted a backlash.We're talking about the story though. People getting upset was for a big part because they enjoyed it so much and got devastated when the Ash-greninja lost. It has nothing to do with them not wanting it there in the first place. You thinking people would rather have a mega is just your headcanon.
>Oh ya, instead of allowing Ash to have defeat an actual rival that competes with him, lets introduce a rookie that would act like his lackey and talks about how great Ash is.>Its like watching Beyblade metal saga except the only notable Blader Gingka would defeat is Kanta instead of Kyoya, Ryugo, Damian and Julian.Doesn't even make sense. Ash being the superior one and the role model made the rivalry unique. Seeing Shota try to counter Ash's with his very different approach towards battle was interesting and also put Ash in a different spot that he had ever been before which also tied in with the snowbell arc with him not wanting to disappoint Shota.
