And my XY rewatch brings me to the first Greninja loss against Alain. The hype is really frigign soured knowing how this ends. The idea that Greninja and Mega Charizard X face like 3 times and Greninja Loses every single time is the greatest piece of evidence I have to the idea it was originally planned for Ash to win the league. Rules of three people, you have Greninja fail the first two times and win the third. It's the most basic writing in the universe. Greninja losing again in the end is just non sensical.
Ah well, it's not the destination but the journey that matters
