>>51228090He's the best anime character.
>ideologically opposed to Ash>defeats Ash more than once, can back up the things he says >seeing him berate his pokemon when they lose after years of watching other trainers praise their pokemon when they faint is pretty shocking>outright challenged Cynthia to a 6v6 like a chad, got destroyed but it was more of a learning experience anyway>has a lot of cool members like his Electivire, Ursaring, and Torterra>Turtwig enjoyer>he lost as many leagues as Ash did, likely going down the cruel path he did out of desperation for more strength, it's an interesting parallel to Ash>returned in JN to train Ash against the aces of the champions participating, it's a lot better than jobbing in the Masters 8, it's cute how Infernape doesn't even hate him>STANDBY FOR BATTLE
