>>51053939>but when making the excuse for why the SM anime’s League doesn’t have an E4, you can’t say it’s “thematically” correct because the SM game’s League did the exact same thingI meant thematically within the anime, I'm not taking the games into account because the anime has always only selectively followed them.
>You can’t say the League is good because everyone got focus and then immediately backtrackThe point I was making was in regards to character focus with battles with Sophocles, Mallow, and Lana. Them not being the strongest or whatever is irrelevant.
>Because it notes the inexperience of the trainers?Yes, the league had nobody in it, but, like with all leagues only the strongest battling matter.
>Cameron thought the rounds was 5v5He still did it and moved on when he won.
>A strategy would be Guzma telling Golisopod to use its armor to block the Z-MovesBlocking is a strategy?
>Stuff like Dragon Tail to break Stone Edge is just generic countersContext, Gladion was using SE to limit Kiawe's mons moves, so he used DT to force his hand and change his battling style.
>If the competition have to cheat instead of playing fair then it devalues the actual tournamentImo, that's just using outside-the-box thinking.
>Meltan previously could barely scratch Ryuki’s Zweilous and DruddigonThen they were stronger than Hypno.
>How in the world did it know where to reach Ash and what time to come?It lives in Ultra Space, how would it not notice the mass migration?
>Just because people don’t call it out doesn’t mean it’s right. Rowlet was able to use its clothing to protect itself from a Z-Move and everyone just let it be, that doesn’t mean that that wasn’t bullshit?If it was seen by everyone and not called out as cheering, then it's not.
Whew, got it all in one this time
