>>33060359Yes, alien even in context, because there is nothing like it in Pokemon. They took an established mechanic but it made more speshul and powerful to shill Greninja harder, and because they were too incompetent to write a bond without cringey fanfiction. It's much easier to pull shit out of your ass instead of being internally consistent.
Chosen one writing is never good, unless it's a chicken or egg kind of thing. It wasn't in this case, Ash just won the pokelottery.
Those things happened after the fact you stupid fuck. There was no buildup to them. Its rivalry with Frogadier didn't allude to any special power, in fact ep 17 was better written than the entire Greninja arc. Your revisionist bullshit isn't fooling anyone, there was nothing leading up to it before it was asspulled in the Olympia episode.
