Reminder: Greninja jobbing in Kalos was what put the final nail in the coffin on Ash's credibility as a trainer. The world was taking notice back when Ash was reaching the final battles of the league, tons of normies who had dropped the anime decades ago were rooting for him, even fucking ESPN was posting about him reaching the finals, and he fucking jobbed.
Ash winning in Alola the very next season didn't even matter or garner a tenth of the hype. It's like being that guy who shat himself in the middle of the Olympics. It doesn't matter if he ranked 3rd best runner in the world, or any future accomplishments he achieves. As far as the world is concerned he will never be anything but That Guy Who Shit Himself in the middle of the Olympics
