>>51012662>Ash teaching Gliscor how to glide is not trainingNo it's not training, at least not in the sense we're talking about, which is for battles. It's why I don't count XY's noibat episode as a training episode.
>Which is training, retard>Sparring is not training accordingThe point isn't that these aren't training, it's that they're incredibly weak examples of training
>See >>51012439I went back and watched that episode, they were training thwackey, not any of Ash's mons. Even if you want to call this training, it's an incredibly weak example.
>That was just Ash using his out of the box thinking, they didn’t train to do that, idiot.He's having Froakie practice maneuverability and positioning, something that was vital in his later battle against grant for Rock Tomb Tomb.
>It happens at the very end of the episode.This doesn't count, but every example of Ash "training" for 30 seconds at the beginning of an episode with no continuity does?
>It wasn’t training>It wasn’t training>It wasn’t trainingWhy are you fundamentally missing the point laid out in
>>51012540 that XY showed us the team growing stronger with many episodes dedicated to them and strong continuity related to the strategies they trained with and growth, while Journeys just hasn't. It's not about "training episodes", not really. It's about the structure of the show being inconducive to the climax of the Masters 8. Journey's is a slice of life anime but is trying to end like a Shonen, and it just does not work.
