>>51053669>I don’t care if you give it a pass, anon. I didn’t ask for subjective opinions. It’s bad.All right anon, I admitted that it's less than ideal in that regard, but it's still far from bad.
>Because it takes away from the previously established stakes of the anime’s Pokémon LeaguesAnon, I'd agree to that if that was Ash's final endgame goal, but no, the Alola league was only a step, a big one, but a step nonetheless. And like I previously said, it was setting up his road in JN where he would go on to rise in the ranks as Champion. It fits within the narrative that the SM anime established and gives the MC room to grow after it.
>The games did the same thing and they had an E4 so I honestly don’t get the excuse you’re making. Games =/= anime as I've been trying to point out with the RKS System
>I said their skill level takes away from the stakes of the competition, because it doesNo, it doesn't all the leagues essentially boil down to the two or thee trainers that are actually a challenge to Ash, and they skip through the rest.
>Trainers competing shouldn’t have less than 3 Pokémon, some even less than 2.Why does the number of pokemon even matter? No, this
>They’d be unable to compete in the latter rounds.isn't a response because Cameron proved that you can enter a battle with any number of pokemon below six, win, and still move on. I don't care if you discredit that because it was a shit series, it's a canon and valid thing to consider in the case of the league.
>The bar is low to consider these “strategies”I know there are better ones littered all across the anime, but what was wrong with those ones?
>Again, taking away from the stakes of the tournament. How tho? Wouldn't you say it adds stakes because Ash has to battle people with the skills to cheat and not be caught?
>When Faba battled Gladion?It used Reflect and put Gladion's mons to sleep. How does that make its loss to Meltan unbelievable? (1/2)
