>>50487374While i wouldn't say Ash and Alain's rivalry was BAD, it was still clearly rushed and lacked the impact of others. I mean what, they meet in two opportunities, he kicks Ash's ass, he asks Alain if he is participating in the league to which he answers responds "Nah but since you will be there sure why not" then he proceeds to speedrun the Gyms in time record, we see next to no fight with him in the League and then beats Ash for the third time. His character story was fine, even good i would say even if a bit forced
>>50487335>>50487381Also please get rid or at least put more effort into Greninja's storyline. Just having him want to be strong just because of some dumb destiny shit is boring and incredible generic. Especially when said destiny ends with him cutting vines forever. Also, do something better than "A SPECIAL SUPER BOND THAT ONLY WORKS WITH THIS EXCLUSIVE GRENINJA JUST BECAUSE" please
