>>31313956>>31313987>>31314033I personally didn't keep up with the anime and I heard all this hooplah about the loss.
At first I thought it was dumb but somebody posted a pic of Ash's progress in Leagues in the past years. Guy goes from being a part of the top 16 to top 2. Plus he manages to unlock some hidden ability to power up his Greninja.
Yet even with that shit he lost but you know what? At least it wasn't a cop out. It was an intense fight between two strong trainers at their fucking peak. At least it wasn't a case of Charizard being a dick and costing him the match or it wasn't that faggot with the Darkrai.
tl;dr
All about the journey, not the destination. Plus it teaches kids that hell if even if you do work hard at it, you might not reach the goal you want. Stil, that doesn't mean you fucking quit.
