>>50429028Ash's first League win would've still happened without reserves, which would've been unfortunate. But at least his first Championship title wouldn't have been won without using his old mons, and gif related would've been an incredible way to seal the deal on a win.
Plus, Ash would've reached headlines in his XY art style, rather than the one from SM. I had friends who came across it and their first reaction, after 'wait, it took him THIS long?' was to burst out laughing when they saw what he looks like now.
