>>53426504The difference is thought how they nerf Champions and Legendary Pokemon.
For people like Leon and Cynthia they have them not do specific shit like the infamous "No Mega Garchomp" or Leon just not calling Max Quake to avoid damage"
For Legendaries they try to give some explanation over them being weak.
>ZapdosWas apparently low on energy and already needed to recharge
>SuicuneThose Poachers were hunting it for weeks purposely polluting the water so it can spend energy fixing it
>Regidrago and Regieleki These two weren't nerfed but Gary has the experience at least to keep up with a Regie and Goh at least caught Leki the one with hit HP and defense
Some of these aren't very good reasons for people but at least they tried to give us something. Plus they've showed us that Ash still can't do shit to upper tier Legendary Pokemon like Mewtwo and Lugia, the latter that still no diffed him ecmv3n after becoming the World's Strongest
