>>56041241I hate to sound like a shounenspic, but the anime has had absolutely horrendous powerscaling ever since Journeys.
I dearly miss when the E4 and Champions all felt like impossible to surmount walls and absolute monsters in battle that when you knew they appeared whoever they were gonna battle was gonna get curbstomped even without them trying.
The damage Journey caused to this franchise is untold.
>>56041438>To be fair, it wasn't really that weakened. It was barely scratched and still had the juice to kick everyone's ass without breaking a sweat.That fug reeled at all to Fuecoco's attacks is just utterly ludicrous.
Liko's even worse because at least we see Roy training and tryharding 24/7 but then Liko and the cat perform just as good if not even better just because they're just built different I guess despite Liko being a pussy who's just sitting on her ass 98% of the time.
The other issue is how arbitrary it is, too. Their powerlevels. Both are newfag trainers, not even a badge to their names, but at this point I'd bet good money they'd sweep the Indigo League that we saw in OS without even trying because ??? and despite 95% of the time them being bailed out by the meme turtle or walking k-k-kantooooo ad or something else altogether.
It's like they've got a x1000 exp boost, and Liko has a x10000 shoujo manga yume vn boost too.
